New 3DS XL but it rattles :(

[spamurai]

Heyy. My new 3DS XL arrived today and it's the first 3DS I've had.

When I shake it a little, I can hear a rattle or something moving... Is this normal? Does anyone else have it or should i send it back? :s

Try taking out the stylus first and then shaking it. I know if I shake mine I can hear the stylus rattling around.

EDIT: mine actually does rattle a tiny bit with out the stylus in, so i think it's probably normal

I am thinking that would be the pedometer that is making that sound/

Yeh, it still rattles with the stylus out. Sounds like its coming from the centre, inside.
Even if I hold all the buttons down it still rattles.

I just googled it and a lot of people seem to think its the pedometer like JasonBurrows just said...

Just doesn't give you much confidence when you spend a lot of money and it rattles -_-

Confirmed, it's pedometer

Its supposed to rattle isn't it?

If its only a light rattle, as others said, its a pedometer.
If its a harder sound then it's probably got a defect and you should get a refund or replacement.
