Nintendo 3DS

If anybody has one of the leaflets they do not want i would be grateful for it as i plan to pick up Rabbids.

Strider or anyone else who has a console did you register your console to the vip site to get the free t shirt? i just did it and i got the 750 points however there were no forms after saying i got the t shirts or to put my address ?

Given the limited numbers of the T-Shirt and the amount of people getting their hands on the 3DS early I wouldn't be surprised if the T-shirts are long gone already. Given the cheapness of them they should have printed more.

I'm going to have a trip into town tomorrow and see how far my HMV credit stretches. It's only a £5 but if they're selling the games for £40 I think I'll drop Pilotwings Resort and save the remainder of my credit for Shift 2 next week leaving me with the more replayable Ridge Racers and SSF4

Anyone who ordered with shopto getting an error message when clicking through the tnt tracker link from 'my order' page? I am

[FreelancePolice]

I know this isn't the right place for it but my Amazon order arrived early this morning. Guess I'm going to be making Miis till street fighter arrives

Mine just arrived from IWOOT via Royal Mail 1st class! Can't find anything on site either about the t-shirt upon registering.

Wish I had the games now. I still haven't seen the 3DS effect yet so I guess I'm in for a surprise when I get it going

My Shopto tracking number works. It says it arrived at TNT's Preston delivery depot at 4am and at 6.50am the status changed to Out for Delivery which I assume means it's on it's way. Annoyingly I've just found out no-one's in at home after 10am this morning so unless it arrives sharpish I'll have to rearrange which reduces the odds of getting it on Day 1 rather than if it had just come on time

Do you all think there will be more than 100 people at this Nintendo Launch Party at Trafford centre picking up there 3DS as i dont finish work till 6 tonight so bit unsure if its worth me going about 9-10ish??

[Brad]

Ok I'm in. Getting mine from my local indie this afternoon along with Ghost Recon, not sure what else if anything.

[elaniel]

Also wanted to post (not sure if anyone's tried or if it's been known) but US DS games are working on my UK 3DS fine.

Also, my eyes feel a bit off now after trying it. Guess I need to get used to it.

[Brad]

Good to hear mate. I might start a thread in the console section where people can report successful cross-region games on 3ds, see if a pattern emerges.

[C']

DS (non-DSi specific) games are region free and will run on any region 3DS.

Try any 3DS game or a previous DS game with DSi functionality (which were region locked on DSi consoles) and they won't run unless you play on an appropriate region console.

D'oh! I didn't read that last post properly I read it as US 3ds games work on a uk console :-(

I don't think it will be heaving. Lots of Gamestations opening at midnight so there are lots of local options for people. I am going to my local Gamestation in Altrincham which is opening at 10.30 for the midnight release.
Can't believe it's finally the day. I have been dying to get my console since E3 last year. I am holing up for the weekend to spend some quality time on it

Yay, RR turned up just before 10, 3DS just after 10! I know its been mentioned before but love the game boxes, size they should always have been.
