Nintendo 3DS European Launch

Adamm said:
Mine was shipped yesterday (22nd) with Parcelforce 'Express 24' Delivery!
So it should be here today? right? right?

Dammit, I wish they wouldnt tell me when its dispatched. It fills the next few days with disappointment :(

Not necessarily. It might just have been given to Parcelforce but with strict orders for them not to release it until it's meant to be with you.
 
I feel you. I got a shipped e-mail on Saturday just gone. Yet when I check tracking: 'Awaiting receipt of parcel.'

GIVE DPD THE DAMN PARCEL.
 
I do have to say I enjoyed playing on my 3DS the past couple of weeks and getting weird looks from people on the train.

I mean I always get weird looks but now its because of the 3DS. Right? Right...

Dispatched from Tesco! HELLLL YEAHHHHH!!!!!
Now starts the nervousness, the pacing around the house, the jumping every time the dog barks, the increased heart rate whenever there's a knock at the door...AHHH

You were suppose to provide me with false hope :(

But you are probably right
 
SSFIV ARRIVED from Amazon UK today yet my 3DS is still "dispatching soon."

RAGE

SSFIV only took a day to arrive so hopefully it will be the same for the 3DS when it does dispatch...

Amazon UK is "dispatching soon" the two 3DS games I've ordered. One of them was in the buy 3DS, get 1 game for 15£ bundle-offer, yet I got charged the full amount ( about 60 pounds :| ) on my credit card. I assume they will apply the promotion when they charge for the console, right? RIGHT?!

And talking about the console... 3DS is in "not yet dispatched" status, but still expected to ship tomorrow. So in the best case scenario, I will get the games *before* the console, lol
 
I hope this isn't a stupid question, but if it has been discussed I completely missed it.
Is it possible to transfer your Wii VC games to the 3DS?

On a side note away from my bitching, out of all the online retailers, which customers got their console first? Depending on that, that's where I'll be preorder the NGP... iWoot iirc?

Not french but I'm in the same situation.

EDIT:
Wait Amazon.fr just sent me an email !
Bah just an ad.

Maturity, bitches.
Still odd that my game has been dispatched yet the system hasn't considering I ordered the system about one month before.

I don't know if anybody outside of Spain has got theirs yet. My order is with IWOOT. I will say that they made arrangements with a good courier well in advance, so if my order does get to my by release I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Especially considering they honoured the stupid £167.99 price.

I work at a gamestore and we have plenty of games in as well but no systems yet.

most GAME and Gamestation stores in the UK have had demo units for a while. They should probably have games too now.

My Amazon games haven't shipped yet, even though I paid for expedited delivery.
Indeed, ordered on the 19th of January paid for expedited and still showing "Not yet dispatched". Come on Amazon, don't let me down!

To be fair though, Amazon have always been good with their day one delivery; and I don't think companies want retailers breaking street dates.
I just need to be patient...

Just got a mail from the video game store I reserved it in, and their shipment is arriving today ! Just have to wait for their phone call to go fetch it in Paris...

"Forget about it Jake. It's Chinatown Nintendo!"

(though you CAN transfer DSiWare from a DSi or DSiXL if you're prepared to wait until 'sometime' in May)

these days though, 'day 1' needs to be 'day -1', because the post doesn't arrive until around noon. so you can buy it retail earlier than online which is crazy. Just allow them to deliver the day before :)

Oh, Waru, funny to see you here today! You help me with Four Swords + in japanese back to the nintendojofr days, 7 years ago. Damn! :lol

My Amazon UK order is still not dispatched. Is this the same for everybody else? My estimated dispatch date is tomorrow though, but I really expected them to ship a day or a couple days earlier for those outside the UK or using the free delivery option.
It's the same for me. I guess and hope they'll ship from Germany anyway (for me) like they do in nearly all cases. Perhaps they'll send it out tonight. I really hope so :) Good luck to you too!

Is there any chance I'll be able to pick up my pre-order in-store from Morrisons tomorrow? I'm going to be away over the weekend, and I don't know whether I'll be able to pick it up on Friday...

They won't break the street date.

For those of you in central london - all shops that stock games on oxford street will be having midnight openings, that includes Currys, GAME and HMV. So if your still in need of a machine and have not pre-ordered, they will be your best bet for a quick walkin.

My office is just overlooking the street, so I just work late, get paid for waiting for my machine, walk into HMV at midnight launch and then go home. Awesome ~

GameGears order has been despatched within the last hour or so. Was hoping they'd despatch earlier, but apparently it's 1-2 day courier delivery, so it might be here as early as tomorrow morning ^_^

I emailed Amazon UK about my order and got this reply:

I am sorry for the delay in the dispatch of your order.

I have checked your order *************** and I am pleased to confirm that it has already entered the dispatch process.

We still expect to deliver your order ************** by the date listed in Your Account: March 25, 2011.

Once your order is dispatched from our Fulfilment Centre you'll receive an e-mail confirming the date, contents and method of delivery.

Just dispatch it!, do it now!! :(

Isn't it meant to say 'processing' when they start the dispatch process? Does it say that on your order?

Anyway, I'm glad they've started. It'll probably take them a while to get to my order mind...

We thought you'd like to know that the following item has been despatched

( ^_^)

Delivery usually takes 3 to 5 days from the day of despatch but if you do not receive your item within this time, please allow at least ten days from the despatch date before contacting customer services.
