Nintendo started to offer refurbished versions of some of its popular handhelds, the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DSi XL, just a few months ago allowing budget-minded gamers the ability to save a few bucks while they get to enjoy their hobby of choice. It looks like their refurbished program has gone well enough that the company is now starting to offer refurbished 3DS XL and 3DS memory cards for sale.

Nintendo of America is making its refurbished 3DS XLs available for $170 each, which is a $29 discount when compared to a new handheld. Refurbished 3DS memory cards can be purchased for $13, which is a pretty good price considering there isn’t much that can go wrong with an SD card.

If you’re concerned Nintendo’s refurbished goods will crap out on you within days of your purchase, you should know Authentic Nintendo Refurbished products come with a one-year warranty as the company sets their refurbished devices to meet some very high standards. The only thing you would need to worry about is the device’s physical appearance, as Nintendo’s refurbished products may or may not have a few scratches or other cosmetic blemishes. Keep in mind your refurbished 3DS XL may have been owned by a child, so keep that in mind as they tend to not care so much as to what their toys look like after they’re used.

We know there are many of you who are eyeing some of Nintendo’s recently announced Nintendo 3DS bundles that either feature an exclusive Animal Crossing: New Leaf design or Luigi-themed design. We also know spending hundreds of dollars for a handheld gaming device may not be something you could afford right now, which is why Nintendo has started to sell pre-owned Nintendo 3DS and DSi XL handhelds in its North American online store.

The “authentic Nintendo refurbished products” may feature some “minor cosmetic blemishes,” but Nintendo will provide a one-year warranty with these devices and guarantee them to be technically fully functional as they’ve been “cleaned, tested and inspected to meet Nintendo’s high standards.” The prices for the handhelds are certainly in a range most budget-minded customers could appreciate as Nintendo offers a Metallic Rose or Midnight Blue DSi XL for $99, while $169 will get you an Aqua Blue or Midnight Purple 3DS along with a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

It’s a rite of passage of sorts — Apple’s “skinny” iMac has now spent enough time on Earth to be deemed an appropriate addition to the company’s refurb ranks. The base late-2012 configuration, which sports a 21.5-inch 1080p IPS screen, a 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8 gigs of RAM, a 1TB hard drive and that new super-svelte housing can now be had at a $200 discount, priced at $1,099. As with many Apple refurbished products, you likely won’t be the device’s very first owner, but it will arrive in tip-top condition, with a one-year warranty to boot. As always, “supplies are limited,” so if you don’t mind having a second-hand system on your desk, in exchange for a slightly thicker wallet, you best make your way over to the source link to snag your very own discounted machine today.

We can’t say we’re exactly surprised to see Apple’s next-generation MacBook Pro show up on the company’s “Certified Refurbished” online store — still, it’s good news for folks looking to save a little cash while getting a taste of Retina MBP straight from the source. Currently, Apple is only offering the 15-inch model (with a 2.3GHz, quad-core i7 CPU, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD) for $1,869, making it about $330 less than its non-refurbished counterpart — of course, that premium price tag also includes the accustomed one-year manufacturer’s warranty, which is a good security blanket to have when shelling out this much capital. As is usually the case with Cupertino’s rejuvenated goods, though, supplies may be somewhat limited, so now could be a great time to jump on the MacBook Pro with Retina display bandwagon.
