Bought my brother in law the 2DS so he could play Pokemons, and it feels nice in the hands, well balanced and the buttons are great. The screens are the same size as the original 3DS, not the XL.
Only negative I have is that it doesn't fit nicely into pockets (doesn't fit in many pockets at all) and you'll need a case if you are planning to put it in a bag or with anything else ever as the screens have no protection.
Sadly my 3DS is one of the originals from before the big price drop, so I doubt they would cover it I have a feeling it died because I didn't use it enough. Haven't played it since Mario Kart 7

I'm glad it feels nice and is well balanced, that's exactly what I needed to know. I'll pick one up this evening, thanks mate
