NEW Nintendo 3DS (& XL)

[Togekiss]

I just wish they would release the normal sized one in the US. Really, I might not even consider getting it because I dislike the large screen.

 

[Alienfish]

I honestly like the larger ones better, for reasons. More used to it plus it' way better because they get bigger so to say

Actually, the metallic blue looks purple in the light.

For those of you still looking for a Majora's Mask N3DSXL (like I am), apparently Gamestop is cancelling pre-orders that are over 2 per household, so hopefully a few might be freed up;

That's not true. We can't cancel pre orders when someone has already paid in full for them.

What happens to those who didn't fully pay for them? I didn't order a limited edition New 3DS XL, but I only put down $50. If someone pre-ordered more than two limited edition ones, and didn't pay for them in full, would it potentially be possible for them to have their orders cancelled?

I know at my gamestop, people had to pay in full for the limited edition ones.
Which i would assume for the reason of someone only putting the minimum and never picking it up. Which surprisingly happens a lot.
I'd guess it's the same all at gamestops. That's what my boss told me anyways when I went in to pre order mine. I just got a black one.

 

[bloomwaker]

Ah, so the limited edition ones are required to be paid in full in the first place.
This is the kind of measurement that would have been significantly more helpful had it been implemented before, and not after, they all ran out (at least the MM ones). They were sold out about an hour into me being stuck at my job, which was both interesting and scary to see.

I'm actually glad the MM one isn't purple. It would have stung a lot more if it had been.

Any Australians who missed out the first time, preorders for the MM edition n3ds second shipment have opened on the ebgames website, but it seems to be arriving late march unless they messed up the times.

Idk if this is the same for other countries but maybe it gives you hope?

Yeah. My boss had me scared cause I called work to ask a question about the new one.
He goes "they're all sold out. Every last one." He was assuming I wanted the MM one. XD
J almost went into work and killed him.

Everyone keep watching GameStop tonight and tomorrow.
I heard at gamestop because of high traffic in orders that some people thought they didn't get the MM mask when they did actually in fact pre order it. The pre order system just messed up. So people who thought they didn't get it, did, but didn't have to pay. So they have until the end of Monday to pay it. Then it's up for grabs again.

Ah. People has posted that they had their pre-orders over 2 cancelled, so I assumed that they were online pre-orders and did not have to be paid in full. I thought that was only in-store.

I believe if it was from gamestop in general it had to be paid in full.
Cause when I called my boss the day they were announced he informed me (when I asked if there was any left) that MM were all gone and that the MH was still available. He told me it had to be paid in full either way. Is what I was told.

But that's pretty much like me pre ordering three copies of a game in full. And them calling me and saying Nevermind. Even though you have the money for this and paid it off you can't have them.

 

[Eldin]

Yes, I understand. I'm just saying I was told that you didn't have to pay in full if you ordered off of the website and had it shipped to you. So I was misinformed, that's all.

No no. I wasn't trying to sound rude. The internet is difficult to type out emotions. Haha.
My boss could have been misinformed as well. I know for a fact they had to be paid in full at the store. But he told me online as well. But he could have just pulled that out of no where for all I know.
I didn't want any if the LE ones anyways seeing as I have never really played MH and as for zelda. I own two games for 3ds but have yet to actually play them. And I'm not one to buy a LE console if I don't even like the game. Haha.

 

[Eldin]

Aha, no no, I didn't mean to sound like I thought you were being rude! c; You didn't at all, haha. Totally seconding the hard-to-read-internet-tone issue.

And yes if I wasn't a Zelda-fanatic I probably wouldn't go through the hassle. I already have a 25th Anniversary Zelda 3DS (that was much easier to come across, I actually got it after release quite easily), and basically the only thing that would convince me to sell it and upgrade is another Zelda edition that I like more. ;-; So of course here we are, haha.

I'm hoping more places will release pre-orders because compared to previous LE consoles, this one is absolutely ridiculous to find. I realize that's the point, but still.

edit; And btw I appreciate the information since you actually work at Gamestop. Sometimes our EB Games is a little behind with communication, so it's hard to know what's going on. They've got no pre-orders where I am so I'm basically hoping for somewhere online now. Or to luck out and find they have extras on release day.

If they would have released another animal crossing one , which I never got my hands on the first one, or a pokemon one. I probably would have went with one of those. But I just went with the solid black one.

But keep scoping gamestops site cause the post I posted up a while, it seems some peoples pre orders didn't go trough correctly. So people had a limited time to pay them off.

I felt awful because gamestop didn't know the release date of the new 3ds until the day they actually sent out emails and told people. The day prior to them revealing a release date, I had talked some guy into a 3ds XL who had been waiting 2 years to get one and still had a ds lite. He wanted the new one and we told him the honest truth that we didn't know. Next day. Bam. Email saying the release date. I felt like an awful human being. XD

 

[Eldin]

Aw, yeah that sucks but what can you do. I had thought about upgrading to an XL but now I'm glad I didn't. But that's always how the new consoles are, you just never know.

And yeah the AC ones were really cute. I'd say there will likely be some sort of Pokemon edition if they come out with a new game for it, but obviously not for a while. Hard to say though!

 

[bloomwaker]

I happened to buy an NES controller XL 2 weeks before the announcement, so joke's on me. I also have the Link Between Worlds XL that I'll be selling once I transfer my data from it.

I suppose it all worked out, though.
I have my old NNID on my NES XL, and I don't want to use that ID on my New 3DS XL. I made it before realizing the actual ID couldn't be changed. There's also games on there that I still want to play, but don't necessarily want to have on my New 3DS XL.

So I made my new ID on my LBW XL so I could get started on street passing and such again, and once I have my New 3DS XL, I'll sell that one. I'll likely end up selling the NES XL as well, a little later down the line. Probably when my Pokebank runs out on there.

I am getting the red one, because I love the pretty cherry red inside. If I want to dress up the outside, then maybe I'll get a sticker later on.

I can hardly wait! Less than a month to go.

 

[BlueWyvern4]

really hope for an LE fire emblem 25th anniversary new 3ds xl to go with FE:IF
otherwise sticking with my perfectly good normal 3ds (save for broken R button xP)

 

[ThomasNLD]

I might buy a new 3DS if it helps me get online easier. I`m sick and tired of all the crap this old 3DS gives me. Appearently I have the wrong router and now it refuses to connect even when trying to connect to my phone serving as a hotspot (which worked fine with my old phone). I need to completely manually set it and use data out of my phone data package.

I`m a nerd, but not when it comes to this type of crap. Bleh.
