Thinking about getting a digital copy...

[mikesjay]

So I currently have a physical copy and I'm planning on getting a digital copy through the e-shop. What things should I keep in mind when buying, like what SD card and space and all that? My 3DS is loaded with a 4GB SD card but I'm filling it up NL pictures lol. Any advice?

New Leaf takes up 6000 blocks I think . I don't know why they don't just tell us the size in bytes instead of blocks. I don't know how big 6000 blocks is. I would assume it's about 1gb in size though.

I'm sure you'll be fine c:
They'll probably tell you if you don't have enough room before downloading.
I have a Digital Copy and I've taken tons of pictures haha.

59 block (4 Mbit/512 kB)
251 block (16 Mbit/2 MB)
1019 block (64 Mbit/8 MB) versions

I saw that my SD card is 2GB, not 4 lol. But I have about 10,000 blocks so I should be good?

You should be fine. Also, you should just transfer your photos off onto your computer every so often so you don't have to worry about filling your card.
