Nintendo 3DS (thread twooooo)

[kryss]

Gah. Importaku, I blame you for me ordering a New 3DS, with AC and MH (Poogie!) faceplates. The Kuthku one is...not so interesting.
I may yet cancel, we'll see.

[importaku]

Thats the beauty of Amazon you can bail out on a preorder pretty easy if you change your mind, LOL you know you'd have caved in at some point Kryss.

Seems quite a few games im after have plumeted in price like band bros P it's like 1,400 yen now crayzee! However project mirai one is firmly holding it's 6000yen launch price damn it.

[kryss]

I hope they announce the release outside Japan soon.

Importaku, how are you getting it shipped? I have a Play Asia order, but would rather not pay the PA premium...

[importaku]

Gettng it direct from Amazon Japan which will then get shipped to my Japanese Tenso forwarding address, even with tenso fees it will still be cheaper than getting it from playasia. Because on Tenso i have full access to how much i can value stuff at, i can mark that sucker right down so no customs

[Square]

Nice! Cheers for the heads up. Is Tenso easy to set up?

[importaku]

It can be a bit tricky especially working out which bit of your Tenso address needs to go in which part on amazon Japan when setting up another address in the address book. Also before you can use the service you will need to pass a security check, basically you have to prove your name & address are legit by sending them some documents via email. Read up on the FAQ section in their site it answers most questions & they even have a guide on how you have to enter your address on various Japanese sites.

For importing now i pretty much only use Amazon&Tenso, got tired of play asias stupid price gouging on everything. Not everything is always cheapest from Amazon but there are certain items on there you can't get from the main importers.

Thanks again

Decided to change my order and go with the wood-effect mario faceplate...It's twice the price of the others!

Here's a short tale of my own incompetence.

After updating my 3DS I noticed my downloaded titles had gone. Late June I deleted the NNID account on my 3DS and added the one I made on my Wii U - which I also made first. I believe in doing this I completed scrubbed away my download history from unboxing it up until that point in June - the recent update forcing deletion from my SD card, or so it seems.

Kinda irked that Nintendo hadn't launched their hardware with NNID, didn't make everything especially clear. Even so, my mistake.

Glad I only had Liberation Maiden, which I had completed and MH3U which I didn't pay for of note on there..

[Dogg Thang]

It might have been your mistake but very easy to make. The system they have and lack of a proper account is bananas, especially given they do have a record of every purchase if you use Club Nintendo.

[Brad]

No eshop purchases for me while this system is in place. It's archaic.

[speedlolita]

I was gonna drop about ?27 on there but now I don't think I'll bother, even if I have it sorted.

With it been so much i have a funny feeling they might not be plastic, i went for the grey one that's one of the expensive nes too i have a feeling the wood looking one might actually be wood & the grey one might be metal.

[kryss]

I'm really edging towards cancelling already. Can't...justify...purchase...
