just ordered the new 3DS from play-asia (I'm in Germany)
Hopefully there won't be any problems with getting the device

Has anyone from outside of UK tried (and succeeded) in transferring the account? I've read here a couple of days ago about someone from Ireland, who kept receiving error messages. I'm in Poland, so I don't use the exact same e-shop as Brits do, and I have a crapload of digital games I want to transfer.
I've got a friend in Australia who's coming back here for Christmas, so he can buy me the N3DS locally and bring it over.
Thing is, I can't decide whether to get the regular size or the XL.
Breakdown:
(++) dem faceplates <3
(+++) SNES buttons
(++) not glossy
(+) white by default
(- - -) smaller, and I'm a big guy with large hands
The last one is a potential deal breaker. Anyone here jumped from old XL to regular N3DS? I've never held a small 3DS in my hands. I've got a regular DSi, though. It's a tad too small and gets me hand cramps after some time in MH3 or Smash. The XL is just right.
Please help, N3DSGAF.

I'm a XL user moving down to the smaller one and I have 0 cramp problems so far. I like to think that my hands are on the bigger side.
Yes. basically an error comes up when you select region, you just need to login to the eShop (NOT with the NNID you're transferring) and then it's fine from the other posts in this thread. Then transfer away.
Is this a different version of the YouTube app? I saw 3D video support, as far as i remember the regular 3DS app doesn't support 3D videos.

My shipment is on hold now in Germany. Sucks but I guess I have to be a little more patient.

It's just using the browser now. Works very well.
On hold? Where did you ordered - and who is delivering to you?
My order from Play Asia (delivery by fedex) is currently in dubai
Who did you order from?

I have trawled all the Big W stores in this town and nobody has the wooden cover plate or any cover plates for that matter. I found a JB that I don't usually frequent with one in stock but when I asked for the $17 price match, the tattooed hipster sales guy told me to bugger off.
I might try it on with the store manager I know at my usual JB when I go in on Saturday to pick up Smash Bros and a gorillion Amiibos.

Ordered at Mighty Ape delivering with DHL. No idea what's happening but I sent an e-mail to Mighty Ape.

Who needs woodgrain covers anyway.
Pink is the only choice.

This has turned into a vision quest at this point.
I need to chase the $17 woodgrain cover plate dragon.

Yup same here, i'm avoiding pinging them again on Twitter as I've bugged them all week !
Special delivery is essentially next day 1pm - but I think that's dependent on what time of day its posted.

I've had things from amazon posted after that (well email anyway) and had stuff the next day even though i'm not mainland.
Working all day tomorrow swell damnit! xD hopefully it'll be waiting for me when I get home tomorrow night all ready to be used with pokemon on friday
I just called them and they gave me my tracking number, said it went out at 3:30pm today so should be with me tomorrow before 1pm.

Miiverse is actually useable!
Yep, says the same for me. (although they didn't email me)

its not flimsy is it? my biggest worry is it would break off
it's the exact opposite of flimsy. It's absolutely rock solid.
Here's a video of me playing a FPS homebrew demo using the New 3DS dual analog controls:

I was hunched over a table to play it, to get in frame. so my playing sucks - but the stick works really, really well.

Has anyone played this on the n3DS here yet? Really curious on how it handles with the c stick and hardware.

Oooh that's bad D:
Don't worry. Fedex pays the customs for you and will write you an invoice. Normally they put an extra fee on the invoice, but you don't have to pay that. Just pay the custom taxes (http://www.gutefrage.net/tipp/fedex-zollrechnung-reduzieren).
(my new3ds is currently in france
)Not me, but I've tried Resident Evil and that works really well.
Hey, I seen you guys were also pinging 365 on Twitter!
Yeah I got my dispatch confirmation email today too, and I chose Special delivery. Hopefully what they told you was true, and it got sent out pretty early, cause I'd love it to be delivered tomorrow!
Funny thing was, I ordered it alongside Persona Q. I got a dispatch confirmation yesterday evening and got all excited, but they had just sent out Persona Q first. Didn't receive that today, must have been shipped out later, so I should get both tomorrow!

My order from 365games has been dispatched.
Edit: 3DS XL is back in stock on 365games, but the price has risen. They cost £174.99.
With this and Amiibos goodbye wallet.
I actually prefer the plates instead buying multiple devices, as I have in the past GG Nintendo.
