This is refurbished and grade b so will have signs of use but does have 6 month guarantee. If it was particularly savage on delivery then it's a straightforward return.
The "new" nintendo 3ds xl is the latest version, brand new these are between £170-180.

Does anyone know if the firmware on this is exploitable?

All firmware is exploitable.
If it's on 11.4 or 11.5, you'll need a second hacked 3DS or specific games, or a hardmod to hack it.
If it's on 11.3 or less, you can softmod it.
So it's a bit of a gamble. All New 2DS XL consoles will be on 11.4 but who knows, maybe a hack will become available upon release.

£110 at cex with 12 month warranty, argos ebay customer service is horrible

Any warranty sold on eBay isn't really worth the "paper" its written on when eBay really don't care and therefore will do nothing about it if the seller is awkward/doesn't reply.

It's actually 24 month warranty with CeX on all non-consumable items

Refurb + Argos = Avoid!
Never had good experience with electronics this way, eg Tablet with 3rd of screen not working, phone with non-working buttons. They probably just take customer returns, don't check them and sell them on,

When I worked for a sports shoe company we would get returns from Argos. We would receive returns for other companies as well like toasters, kettles etc. along with our goods. My point is it looks like they don't do a right lot of checking in general.

Refurbished, new, and grade b......... I'm losing braincells at an alarming rate trying to work out what this means

It's called the "new" 3ds to distinguish it from the previous 3ds, yeah blame Nintendo for that one... :smile:

If it's fully refurbed and now looks like grade b, god knows what sort of state it was in before the refurb.
