    I think you should get another one and give it to the first tramp you see - he'll deserve the luck more than you! Possibly...

      Store credit - think of the games!

      I popped down to game last night and got Nintendogs - I have to say I'm a little disappointed. Not because the game is crap, it's not, it's more of the same - the main thing that annoyed me is the games inability to convert Play Coins to some kind of currency of walking the dog.

      How come I need the cartridge in just to walk the dog? Surely it can work out how many more steps I've taken since last time I've played and use that?

        Well I got my 3DS this morning. I think I'm blind already. This is going to turn out like Day of the Triffids, isn't it? Kernow will be the only one who can see and defend us from the alien orchids.

            Nintendo are saying all the reports about how much stock there is fall way short of what they've actually put into the channel, and that if you want one you'll be able to find one for at least the first week.

            They also say they expect the low prices to vanish pretty sharpish.

              I just called two different Currys stores in Plymouth. They're selling the 3DS with a selected game for £174. I made them double check, and they said yep they got the prices in this morning. I'll be heading there soon, so will confirm later. Both stores said they had plenty available. I called Toys R Us (who I have my preorder with) and they do price match, but only on solus systems and not bundles. They did say I can get my £10 deposit back, though.

              EDIT: Just called again, and the console is £174, but that is when you buy it with a game. I wasn't told that the first time I called. The games are £35, which brings it to just under £210. Same as Tesco, then.

              That's any game they have in stock though, I'm getting it with Ghost Recon.

                Fortunately, I think there's a relatively simple workaround* for this. Apparently, all you have to do is stop buying 'games' designed for teenage girls and start playing actual games

                  Does anyone else have a squeeky dpad? I noticed people who have registerd their consoles to the nintendo site after midnight had no mention of the t shirt either.

                    I registered at about half 12 and no mention of the T-shirt. The link you gave to it earlier also wasn't working (not sure if it is now?) so think they must have all gone sharpish.

                      Given they're expecting to have sold 200,000 in the UK by the end of play today, I suspect a couple of hundred t-shirts didn't last very long at all...

                        Very true, although I had registered after midnight in the hope that the offer wouldn't actually start until the 25th.

                        Can't see it mentioned so can anyone confirm game prices in Game, blockbuster, HMV and Currys? Will go have a look later but stuck in waiting for a (non-3DS) delivery.

                          Apparently the people who got a T-shirt got a message

                              How many Club Nintendo stars do I need to get Louise Nurding? I can't see her in the catalog.

                                Guys I need your help.

                                I'm not the kind of guy who plays games ALL THE TIME. So 40 hour epics take me months and months to finish.

                                I'm torn which game to get out of Pilotwings and Nintendogs.

                                I liked the old Nintendogs on DS but I'm worried it'll feel more like a chore eventually rather than fun - and I've always liked the sound of Pilotwings (never played one) but I'm worried at the amount of content.

                                Help me out!! (I have 1hr 30 to decide!)
