Nintendo 3DS (thread twooooo)

[kryss]

When it got my LL I put a 32gb card in there before powering on. No issues.

[Papercut]

Yeah, fairly sure the 3DS will prompt you if it needs to format an SD card. You might need to go into Settings, Data Management first, but it will definitely complain if it can't save to SD. I think the SD in a new 3DS has Nintendo Letter Box, and maybe a video installed on it? So those might need to be downloaded again if you wanted them, or you could just transfer the contents via PC - they are locked to the console, not to the SD card.

I'd recommend a class 10 or better 32GB, that gave me a 5x speed increase in some situations (generating the image cache for the photo app is one good example). That can be inconsistent though, as other factors can cause the image cache to take longer. I'd guess seek times as well as throughput makes a difference.

The SanDisk Extreme 45mb/s 32GB SD card is ?23 on Amazon, that's the one I went for.

Will a 3ds xl charge using a USB cable plugged into a computer?

[kryss]

The 3DS/XL use a proprietory connector, so no.

[Brad]

I have a cable with USB on one end a 4 connectors on the other. One of which fits the original 3DS. Will this cable be able to actually charge a 3ds xl? as in will a PC give it enough juice?

Someone in here got their free game email already...I haven't recieved mine yet. Am I the only one or are you guys waiting for the email too?

[NW2013]

I still haven't managed to successfully register for the free game. Any ideas on how to fix it? Tried it in both Chrome and IE and it just seems broken.

The advert says you can get a new game 'in the new year'. Perhaps it's not live until then?

I received my free game code back on the 7th Dec - can't use it until January 1st though.

[Briareos]

I have also received my code, not many days left until I can redeem it!

[Wools]

Got my new 3DS XL & unlike the first one I received, this is working without a hitch.

Brought a few games from the Virtual Console (Mario Bros, Kirby's Adventure & Shinobi) and love how they made a 3D model of the console the game was released on. Such a Nintendo touch!

[elaniel]

Wasn't the free game supposed to be for people who have already purchased and registered an XL as well?

I can't find anything on Club Nintendo where I can choose the game I want.

[Dogg Thang]

I thought so but I can't see it either so maybe that's not the case. The thing with me though is there seems to be a real obvious broken link for me on the Club Nintendo page that seems to be where people say it is. Scrolling to the next banner on that page gives me just a blank broken banner.

Have you logged in then clicked on my account then clicked the banner right arrow? I was logged in but was trying from product registration area and that wasn't the place to do it.

[hexxed]

Still no code Anyone else waiting?

I was looking in the wrong place and now, thanks to you, I got it and registered. Thank you, sir.
