I am serious and I don`t understand how in any shape or form this could be trolling! They provide an option. It is not like they are discontinuing the one model and continuing with a model that you are considering worse! Personally I consider you remark trolling...
Used market is for Nintendo as a cooperation uninteresting hardware-wise. It`s the mom that goes out and gets her children a 3DS and thinks "Wow, 180 dollars? That`s too expensive!" and is actually kinda OK with a 130 bucks price point.
Bundles cost more then a regular system (at least here in europe): 3DSXL 180€ / 3DSXL+SM3dL 210€ - you get a discount on the game but I think you are talking about non official bundles!
