Nintendo 3DS XL - review

[SCCAAMMM]

Copying a card to PC then on to another card works very well.

Just got my 3DS XL... Everything looks nice and mooosive!!

Only one thing let the 3DS XL down though - Why no support for Wireless N, such a pain for me to turn my router into G mode as everything I have is Wireless N.

I had the same problem. I had everything on N since it didn't slow the network down. The weird thing I thought was that the 3DS actually detected the wireless N network...stuff in the past for me hasn't detected wireless N if it doesn't support it.

Sent my Mrs into Game to buy an XL with a view to taking my 3DS in tomorrow for the refund, to be told that they'll only put the ?100 on a Game giftcard. I'm going to email them a picture of my balls instead.

The trade-in offer is supposedly active until next week. Whether or not that means they've changed it so they only pay out store credit now for old 3DS models I don't know. I can't see them having changed it, but if you can I'd go in myself and ask them why it's changed and if they've been sent something from head office to suggest that it has then ask to see it, otherwise you're probably being fobbed off.

Too late, already sent them the pic of my back wheels.

Has anyone done the Gamestop trade in?

I did the online one if that's what you mean... sent my 3DS to them yesterday.

Did the ?100 cashback trade-in today at GAME Oxford Street, no problems.

Battery life is still pretty pants. Just clapped out on me in the midst of a boos fight in Kingdom Hearts. Damn you 3DS!

I clocked 4 1/2 hrs with wifi off and display on 5 with power save mode on,so I've dropped it down to 3 now to see how it goes with these settings

Kingdom Hearts has Boos?!?

[Dogg Thang]

Em... yes. Of course. What, you mean you didn't get that far?

[Geoff D]

Gots me a red XL & I love it - so much more comfortable to hold than the regular 3DS & the screens are lovely. Now bring on NSMB2

[BIG EDD]

Hi all

I am tempted to pick a unit up this week, however a little unsure about transferring my ambassador data over and saves of all my 3ds games.

I am away from home, and won't be back till quite some time. I didn't bring my 3ds with me, so its at home. Im thinking of getting a 3ds LL with Kid Icarus.
If I purchased a 3ds LL with a game, can I transfer my content over at a later date? Im not sure if i need to get all data transferred over before I start any playthroughs of new games.

Could somebody explain in steps how to transfer over all content from my 3ds including ambassador stuff?
Has any ambassador stuff that was initially released, been taken off the Estore? Im not too fussed about my save games with any of the ambassador content, as it would be fun to play through it all again.

How do DS games look on the 3ds LL. I have never owned a DS LL so, so this will be a new experience.

Cheers


Edit: I will be keeping my 3ds, so I will have it at hand for the transfer process.

I think it just affects download games and DLC, saves on 3DS carts won't be affected although things like your Mario Kart 7 online-ness are connected to your profile which would need to be transferred.

I'm in a similar boat soon as I've just ordered a silver JPN LL for MH3G mainly, yet don't want to have to transfer my system from my regular 3DS to keep my save. Fire Emblem DLC will all be part of my 3DS profile that won't be transferred so that can't be played on the new system.

Still very exciting.
