3DS and 3DSXL - Worth the Purchase?

Had one for a few months and just sold it on ebay a week ago

It was cosmo black and I got it used for like 110.00 bucks, pretty good deal. Got Mario 3D Land for 25 bucks used, pilot wings for like 7 bucks, and nsmb from the ds for like 15 bucks. Basically about 160 dollars worth of stuff - good deal.

3D Land was waaaaaay to linear for a 3d game and thus lacked much replay value (I got everything, 100 percent completion in like 5 days). nsmb was simply not as fun as nsmbw, and the Pilot wings game seriously sucked.

Plus I realized that handhelds probably are not for me (never got a handheld ever and have been console gaming since the early 90s when I was a kid). The time I used the handheld the most was at home and it wasn't that convenient to bring it other places. Plus the 3d effect seemed rather insignificant. I sold everything all together, all back for 130.00 bucks. So pretty good trade off since I only lost 30 bucks to try the "experience."

Out of curiousity, would you consider 3D Land more linear than, say, the Galaxy games?

(BTW, Pilotwings really did kind of suck.)
