I've actually bought two of these off ebay. One I opened and use, and the other was a present for my girlfriend, which she has kept sealed. There is only one problem I have with it specifically, and that is that the top screen feels a little flimsy, even compared with other 3DSs. The second problem I have is with 3DSs in general, and that is that there is no support for WPA2 internet connections that require a login. While this is no problem for my WPA2 connection at home, it is a problem at my university. To connect, you must provide a valid username and password; there is no key to enter. However, the 3DS only prompts for a WPA2 key. Fixing this would be as easy as a software update, but I doubt Nintendo is working on it. It should be noted that StreetPass still works, you just can't connect to the internet. Aside from these two problems, I love the system and the games. Battery life is good, even when playing 3D games. I'd recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the Zelda franchise and wants a 3DS.Read full review
I was reluctant (to say the least) to get on board with the 3D craze. I thought that it seemed extremely gimmicky, and the game selection wasn't super appealing to me. But then I came across this special edition bundle, and the combo of the Ocarina re-release and the special design, I decided it was worth it. And man, was it worth it. The 3d feature on the system, which I thought would be underwhelming, completely blew my mind. The built-in games and functions alone make this worth it. There are several other features that may have been present on previous DS systems, but since the only other DS I have owned is the original DS Lite, this has too many improvements to count. The SD card slot, allowing you to play your music, is one of my favorites. Overall, the system is fantastic, and if one doesn't want to shell out for this bundle, which is mostly for collectors (though this is the best design--way better than the straight colors), just buying the system is a good value. As for Ocarina: magnificent. The graphics update alone is beautiful, and the game holds up spectacularly over time, but the 3D makes it into the true masterpiece that it is meant to be. My only caveat would be that this is not a game for the younger kids, or the impatient. It has quite a deal of puzzle solving and is not an action-packed game. Quite a significant amount of time is spent in transit or figuring out where to go next. An early example of this would be the Lost Woods. A simple labyrinth would be challenging enough, but in this particular area, if you enter a passage between two adjacent rooms, unless you follow the correct path, you end up spit back out to the front. I can't imagine a younger player taking the time to sit and make a little diagram to map out through trial and error which is the correct path. And that is one of the earliest minor puzzles, the game continues to escalate. A lot of patience and in some situations ingenuity is required, but other than that most will have a great time playing this game.Read full review

Very nice system, like the internet access and browser. Still not the best out there, but a very fun little toy nonetheless. Great for kids or Nintendo enthusiasts. Cute and fun interactive games as well as well known titles. Versatile and easy to use and understand. Definitely would recommend this system.
Bought my gr8 a 3ds XL kinda wished I got that but I love this one, can't go wrong with Zelda.
