Did you cancel or did they?

Them - was the mispriced ?157 (or was it ?167?) one. TBH I'm not 100% this will even get delivered but worth a punt.

[BIG EDD]

Hi guys i dont know if anybody is still waiting for an amazon delivery but here is my saga.I got up this morning at 0730 and checked my status as i was gonna cancel and hit the shops.When i checked my status it had changed to "dispatching soon".I went out for the day and came back at 1500 this afternoon.I checked my amazon staus and it still said "dispatching soon".As you can understand i wasnt happy so i phoned amazon at 1520.They put me on hold twice then they told me that they are sending an email out to me notifying that they have been let down by their suppliers and they are opening an investigation.
As you might guess i totally flipped on the phone and demanded that my order gets cancelled to which the operator informed me that the order has been cancelled.I then SHOT to game and managed to pick up an aqua blue at ?219.99.I know i have paid ?25 over the amazon price(?194) with amazon inc expedited delivery but by this time i really didnt care.
I then arrived home with my new shiny 3ds,so i decided to ring my credit card company to inform them about amazon and can they stop the transaction if they try to charge my card.I was informed that AMAZON has not only charged my card after they told me it had been cancelled but amazon has charged my credit card TWICE.I honestly cant believe how **** amazon really are.I now have to rangle a refund from amazon now for charging my card TWICE after they told me my order has been cancelled.I hope you guys who are waiting for amazon get sorted.My advice to you is phone amazon and find out about your order because i have just spoke to a supervisor regarding the refund and in his own words "THERES BEEN A COLOSSAL COCK UP THEIR END"no **** sherlock

Indeed. Do you think Rebecca Black meant specifically *this* Friday? Kinda makes sense, although I bet she chose Sims 3 for her launch game the daft bint.

She'd have to be kickin' it it in the back seat then as the light from the screen might distract the driver if she's sittin' in the front seat.

How have you been finding the 3d effect? For example I can have true slider up to max using the au cards and the camera etc but I find I have to adjust it down slightly for Pilotwings, do you think this will be the case with all games, that each one will be slightly different then others regarding the slider setting?

Been into town and everywhere has tons of stock. High Street wise Currys was easily the cheapest at £197

Why not just wait for your amazon order to arrive? Seems a bit over the top to go and buy one for a rather expensive price if you have one ordered anyway for alot cheaper no? I thought it was common knowledge not to order from play or amazon if you want to pre-order? Hate to see what charges are going to get applied for your credit card.

Anyone else that ordered the console from Tesco Direct but had it cancelled just recieved an email for ?25 off a game? Wasn't going to buy SSFIV but for ?14.90 delivered I couldn't resist!

Code seems generic (theres a thread on HUKD about it) so long as you order with the same account. Code: TDXR-KLPN

Thanks... i didn't check my e-mail as i thought it was junk! I ordered Nintendogs and Cats ?14.90

I've had a quick tinker on Pilotwings. Controls are fantastic!! I was weaving my way under the little bridges with the glider, & flew into the belly & out the top of the volcano with the plane with no problems.

DS games look a little fuzzy to me, which is a real shame as I bought this while stocking up on loads of DS games to play on it. Anyone else notice the lack of crispness on DS games on it?

Right just got my UK one and the first thing i did was try my Japanese SSF4 and RR on the UK one and UK PES2011 on my Japanese unit. Neither of them worked... so Region locking is 100%. And just to confirm UK boxes are thicker then the JP ones.

Useful info. Thanks also the 20% box thing is a tiny space issue. Will have to see. Will I buy a Japanese or U.K one eventually. Sorry to hear about Amazon too .

But any region ds games still work which is nice.

just did the system update after connecting to my wifi and it installs a 3d video demo that only lasts 1m20s, its stunning, 3d cinema for live action at the cinema has always looked a bit 'off' to me (though CGI is fine) but this is all live action and its amazing.

proves to me what a serious bit of kit this is and not a gimmicky toy some may think.

Amazon only just dispatched my 3DS half an hour ago. Scheduled (supposedly) to arrive on Monday, with the games & accessories to (supposedly) follow on Tuesday.

Nice thanks for that. The region issues are so confusing nowadays. Sounds like everyone who got one is enjoying their 3DS's. In the future a bit of PES 2011, SFIV and Resident Evil all sound good.
