just got mine from the shop :3 later guys.

What is with all these people getting their systems early? Should I go to my local GameStop and see if they've got some in?

Sweet deal, man.

Be sure to 100% test battery life and get us a solid answer for once.

I'll be curious to see what Nintendo can do with firmware updates to improve battery life.

have fun, my friend

i shall see you online in only a matter of days :)

Actually, yeah, good point.

Are we going to all exchange Friend Codes at launch? Or maybe it would be better when there's a game we want to play online. Maybe this doesn't matter? :P

Personally, I'll wait until I have more money to buy the 3DS. That or wait until prices drop.

Overflow, I'm assuming there will probably be a thread for 3DS Friend Codes, or this topic will change.

On a positive note, Amazon.com is indeed having a pre-order promotion. Pre-order a 3DS and get a $25 credit towards any launch title when your console ships! Now I just have to decide between Rayman, SF4, Steel Diver, Ghost Recon, and Samurai Warriors...

Just preordered my 3DS! ...Only to find out afterwards that Dead or Alive: Dimensions is no longer a launch title. /:

Sadly, the launch titles don't look so interesting to me.

Also, tested out the 3DS at Best Buy again today with my roommates. We unlocked the system features using a button combination so we could try out the built-in stuff, like the AR cards! (simulated the cards using my phone) Those were lots of fun.

I picked up mine earlier today. Got Shadow Wars along with it which is probably the best launch title. Haven't been too impressed by the 3D so far, but the graphics and the overall sleekness are really nice.
