Is the New 3DS-XL model that bad? I know Nintendo is despertate for revenue since they can’t push the WiiU, didn’t think it would impact the 3DS line.?
The model itself is not bad. There are some improvements with some other differences, such as the front and back are more glossy than the previous model.
Would banning scalpers be a good way to cut out on many of the scalping?
So long as some consumers are willing to pay above the retail price for whatever, there will be scalpers.

American Version. If it were Japanese, it would be New Nintendo 3DS LL instead of XL.

does the new 3ds works with ds lite charger?
No, it will not work with a ds lite charger. It will, however, work with a dsi or a 3ds charger, which are virtually identical.

“New” is just part of the name of the item. As far as being actually “new,” some are and some are not. Please read seller’s product description.
What is the serial of this n3dsxl majora mask? QW40…..?
The serial number is QW103868811
Does Majora’s Mask 3D come pre- installed on it?
No, the product was simply a limited edition design. Design is great but if you don’t care about the visuals then it functions quite normally.
Why are these listed for more than 230% of the retail price?
These are listings made by independent sellers who managed to snag one. Supplies are so limited and demands are crazy high, so many are hoping to turn around and sell theirs for a quick profit. A little mean, but I can’t say I blame them.
