This is a bad idea. The 2ds was made as cheap as possible. Even if you don't use 3d, get a 3ds. It has a much higher build quality and is much more solid. The 2dsXL is made entirely of plastic, even the backing support of the top screen is just plastic, meaning that if you put the slightest pressure on the top screen (like putting it in your pocket), the plastic will bend and crack the LCD. I've had my nu3dsxl for years now and its been abused, the screen is leaking lcd fluid, but its still completely functional. My brother bought a brand new 2dsxl and the top screen snapped itself within a week.
