>>12691388Would you rather play more games, or play fewer games and have a better hardware experience? If the former, get a regular 3DS (new or used) and use the money you save to buy games. If you'd rather have a 'better' (subjectively) piece of hardware and fewer games, get the XL.
For the record, I have a regular 3DS. I have no problems with it whatsoever. I don't find it uncomfortable to hold at all like lots of people seem to, it feels very similar to the DS Lite to me.
