Common questions on GameStop, surfaced from across the indexed web.

PriceCharting has the loose price of the same New Nintendo 3DS XL at $265, with Complete In-Box sets sitting at $468.83. However, eBay tells a different story. In March, a brand-new set of the same console had its auction finish at $363. Meanwhile, a cursory search for a red New Nintendo 3DS XL brought up a listing at $309, and another region-free at $294.99. Bear in mind that GameStop's listing is for a refurbished console that doesn't have the box, and potentially doesn't even have a match
