Yes, this is a thing. I actually think I may be getting one of these, when I'm able to get enough money for the system, since I have wanted to get a 3DS and never cared for 3D.
The 3D was a throwaway feature anyway. Most people I saw using a 3DS said it gave them headaches and whatnot, so they always played with it off. If that's just what's going to happen, then why should it even be there? I consider this as an option for people to just say "Fuck the 3D, just give me the games," pay less and be totally satisfied. The design is a tad awkward, but I'm sure the would be gamers of the system would adjust to it just like they adjusted to everything else. Especially from holding a Playstation One controller, and then holding a large, fat and bulky XBox Controller when that era shift came.
What do you guys think? Anyone plan on getting this, who doesn't already own the console?
