>New in boxAny 2DS, 3DS, or n3DS(XL) purchased now will be on firmware version 11.3 or lower. Buy one of these and a big SD card and an hour later you'll be pirating games from Nintendo's servers, running rom hacks, and playing online.
>Used/As-is/RefurbishedYou're at the whim of the previous owner and the retailer. If those people decided to update the thing, you'll be out of luck. Thankfully in those situations you can just ask to inspect the unit before you buy. Check the firmware in system settings, if it's 11.4 just make up some BS reason you don't want THIS unit.
