Silver one with t-shirt seems the best deal out of the bunch, especially as the mario game is awesome.

Been tempted for a while to pick one of these up at £100, but not sure whether to go for this or the New 3DS XL. I've looked at some comparisons on Youtube and there are some slight differences.
Do people think it's worth getting the new one for the extra money? Probably an extra £60.00 on top of these with a game too.

100% worth getting the New 3DS XL. The 3D is much more stable and is actually usable!
As someone who has first hand experience with lecticular screens, (Fuji W3,) I'd pay the extra money for the new 3DS. I'm not saying the original screen is bad, its just that the new screen is better.

Hmm, helpful. I would expect people to favour the new model but I don't know whether the extra 60-70 pounds is worth it. I'm like you in that I probably won't play it too much, just pokemon :smiley:. Might be best to go to a local CEX/game store to see if they'll let you try out a pre-owned older model to see how you get on with it. I've seen the new model and it does look really impressive.

I have the Yoshi XL one and its really cool. On the back of the console its got printed Yoshi Eggs. Comes with a green stylus. You can also get a Yoshi egg background from the Eshop for a quid or two.
Saw it reduced just before xmas to £100 on Nintendo site, but it was only for a day.
Re it being old technology, unless your really caught up on the wonderful design, has to be best to buy a 2nd Gen newer 3DS XL model. Your getting a better battery chemistry and longer charge with built in Amiibo support and the improved button layout with C-stick control.

Something tells me Nintendo will be dropping new gen announcement this E3. Price is good however that's most probably why it's going cheaper now

heard that nintendo are developing on a new console, not a handheld.
But anyway this is a good price to bite at now.
