Though this 3DS XL was advertised in its original packaging, it came in a brown box surrounded by bubble wrap. Not going to complain too much there because the Amazon ad did say that refurbished items may come in its original packaging or not.The Device is pretty clean. There was a bit of with grime near the joints where the 3DS Opens but was able to clean that off with a Q-Tip.All the above I can deal with. The one that has me puzzled and upset is the error that the SD Card could not be detected. A SD card was shipped with this device. Once I was done setting up the time, and date, I immediately got that SD card not detected error at the home screen.I tried taking the SD Card out and putting it back in. No Success. I tried a different SD card entirely, and still a no go.I will still keep this device because I read that most if not all 3DS games save data on the cartridges. And at least this 3DS is able to play games. So I'm happy there. But I will not be able to play some games that do require an SD Card. So that sucks.Would have given this 5 stars, if the SD Card Reader wasn't jacked up.Update: 01/10/25After 4 different sd cards and air cleaning the sd slot, I finally found one that works! Able to fully take advantage of all functionality of the 3DS now. Review gets 5 stars now. Love this thing!
