Picked mine up today in Game ( I know ) in Belfast. Had no trouble with stock, pickedthe Aqua blue console with Ridge Racer and Pilot Wings. Was worried I wouldn't "see" the 3D but I have to say, it's pretty awesome! Pilot Wings looks great, thanks mostly to Gafs hype after disappointing reviews..

I cannot seem to get the music player to work. I placed some mp3s in the SD card but I don't know how to access them. In the sound app I can only record my voice. Help?

Super Street Fighter IV maybe the most technically proficient game on the 3DS, but Ridge Racer has proven to be my far and away favorite.
Rock solid gameplay, fun, tons of content and stuff to unlock (though almost none of it is new if you're a diehard fan of the series), and takes you a long time to beat. Really feels like I got my money's worth.
It's funnest and most addictive game game on the 3DS imo. I can't wait for the NGP version.

i bought Rabbids 3D today. Played the first 5 levels. i like the game. the graphics are good and the 3d effect is nice. the game is more on the easy side but that is exactly what i want.

Nice will be getting me a pair of 1 click remotes then (hate apple headphones, just don't fit at all in my ears).grumpy said:
Well you got Iraq beat for longest time without a proper government ;-). I did get my first streetpass in Brussels though (it was a Belgian too, his greeting was Hellouw!)meppi said:Not surprising, Belgium is a real shithole when it comes to gaming.
For instance, last time I checked only 42 copies of Sin And Punishment 2 sold here and had any online rankings. :-/
Found out quite a few of those facts over the years.
Seems like all they play in this crappy thing they want to make us think is a country, is bro-games. yuk.
Only reason there are so many Wii's and DSes out there over here is due to piracy.
Every single person who I've met and have talked about games with, besides my closest friends, always recommend me to mod my Wii or buy an R4.
When I tell them I don't care for those and actually buy my games, they look at me like I'm a retard and don't know what to say anymore.
Buch of morons.
Played with a 3DS 2 days ago. The 3D effect at full just was a massive pain but at 50% it was great. Screen itself is also beautiful, no complaints.
Played Ridge Racer... graphics were nice and clean but meh. Oh, and 3D certainly doesn't add natural Anti-Aliasing of any kind.
Nice device, short battery life, region lock. Will get later when those two issues are fixed.

Finally got my machine. Two questions.
1. Should I just charge the battery whenever I feel like it, or should I always try to do full charges/recharges?
2. How useful are screen protectors? Is the touch screen very easy to scratch? (I usually take good care of my stuff)

From what I've gathered it's better to charge it whenever, rather than waiting for it to run out and then do a full charge.schennmu said:

Not exactly in a hurry to scratch mine up but if it is anything like the DS screens it should be fine in careful hands.schennmu said:

In my opinion (2 hours played), it is Ridge Racer. There is nothing wrong with it, expect that it is still Ridge Racer and not much has changed in the past years.

I was planning to buy a 3DS in a couple of months, during summer or so, hoping there'd be more interesting games available by then.
But plans have slightly changed thanks to all of those 3DS threads around here, so thanks guys. I'll be picking up the blue 3DS tomorrow; PilotWings will be mine in a few hours. Nintendogs will probably follow during the next week. Seems a nice way to introduce my gf to the new handheld.
Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

Why did I buy Street Fighter? I'm terrible at it and have been for 15 years. :| I can't beat it on Very Easy mode even with one-round battles.
I'm an idiot for letting reviews choose my games.

Will add later, just docked it to charge.
I hope they can update firmware to give a notification when someone adds you, and you can auto add them back
Some sales data for the launch weekend.
113k sold in the UK, 303k across Europe.
http://www.mcvuk.com/news/43790/3DS-sells-113000-units-in-UK-launch-weekendrn
This is Nintendo's best ever launch in the UK, but oddly falls short of the 140k preorders they announced.

The 140k preorder figure was (I'd guess) preorders from stores, not from costumers.
Frankfurter said:
No, it was customer preorders, or presented as such. But as the article states, some stores may have overstated their preorders to Nintendo to get more stock. Nintendo was expecting 150-200k units to be sold through to customers by the end of the weekend based on the numbers they had.
Quick 3D question. For those of you who can see the 3D consistently on the 3DS, I'm curious about something. When you have a DS game inserted and the spinning DS card is on the Home Menu, is the card supposed to look like it's hovering just outside the screen, or deeper inside?
I'm asking because I think I'm beginning to be able to see the 3D effect now. Barely. At least the 3D images have stopped ghosting. But I'd like to know if I'm seeing things or, well... seeing things. One thing is for sure, my left eye hurts a bit now, so something happened that didn't happen before today.

You can pre-order and then not actually go through with the purchase. I was going to get one but my finances have me hurting at the moment - I couldn't justify a £200 splurge.
