my brother dropped my regular 3DS when I had it multiple times, too....My regular 3DS had white plastic burns on the corners from being dropped at least 20 times on hard floor....

I will be going the digital route for this one. In my opinion this is one of those games I want to have on me all the time. Whereas a game cartridge may reside in the slot until I beat it, I never really beat an Animal Crossing game. I think it's worth it to go digital here.

Those occurrences weren't my fault. I tell my brother to be careful, but stuff happens. The goopy drink thing was one of my friends fault. The charger was next to the drink and it got bumped in.
If I was the only person who handled my 3DS, it would never get dropped or misplaced. At least I know it won't break no matter what, unless I try to break it.

Time to tell your brother to get his own 3DS, methinks.

Maybe. I should have just given him my regular 3DS when I still had it. I made a huge mistake and just traded it off for BS I don't care about now... I don't even see my brother that often, but he probably drops it more than just from what I've seen when I let him borrow it.

You're apparently more tolerant than I am. My view is that, if you have to use somebody else's console, you should make sure to take very good care of it. Dropping your 3DS constantly is NOT taking care of it.
When I got my XL, I gave my original 3DS to my nephew. Now I don't have to feel bad when I tell him he can't touch it.
Buy retail from GameStop for $34.99, plus 10% point thing with the card
or
Download from Nintendo eShop for $34.99, plus the ULTIMATE CONVENIENCE FACTOR!
Which way do you think I should go?
P.S. I only have about 5,000 blocks left on my 3DS SD Card, and I only have $0.13 left on my 3DS eShop.
I also have a $25 GameStop gift card, and as stated above I get 10% back in points with my dad's PowerUp Rewards Pro card.
The above info makes it a tough decision, does it not?
Any good help with decision making would be very much so appreciated, thanks!
Christopher.

Well, you could download this game if you think you're going to want to play it every day and save the Gamestop gift card for something you'll probably play less often. Of course, I don't know how your money situation is.

I'm actually in process of saving up money from the work I do around my house to buy this game. After my experience of pure joy when I bought my Wii U with 100% my money, I'm gonna buy as much as I can with MY money. Now that you know this, what do you think I should do? My dad was gonna make me use the gift card for this anyway, so what would you recommend?

How much does having it as a digital download mean to you? If it is extremely important to you, you might consider saving up the money to download it.
If you don't, then using the gift card will free up your money for something else.

I don't really care either way, I have SM3DL and MK7 on cartridge, and I those every single day.

buy it retail if you dont mind swapping the cartridges when you want to play something else.
you will get at least 10-20$ if you sell animal crossing some day.
My brother has dropped my 3DS XL on concrete above 3.5 feet 2 times, and once above 3.5 feet on hardwood floor. They don't break easy.
The 3DS is definitely a bit stronger and sturdier than the DS Lite. I accidentally pulled my DS Lite off my dining room table about 3 years ago (it's a looooong story as to how that happened). This is what happened once it hit my hard wood floor from just falling 3 and a half feet (the handheld on the left).

Geez. Ya, I've never had a broken console because of me. Even the original DS was more durable than the Lite, but they have definitely improved DS over the years. I threw my DS down the stairs for fun once.
I had the original one the first month it came out, 3 DS lites(kept using Best Buy warranty to get a new one, with one actually having a faulty R button), DSi, 3DS, and lastly the XL.
I would say 3DS XL has a likeness to the original DS in terms of color layout and size, but it adds so much more.
