Got mine today, horray beer!
I hate shit like that.FYI everyone, be on the lookout for SHENANIGANS. I just called a nearby gamestop and they said they would not be receiving any. When I brought up the above internal memo they said that they didn't get it.
I called another gamestop and they confirmed the internal memo and that they should have units tomorrow but couldn't confirm when they would have them. they told me the internal memo is 100% on their intranet and that all stores would be getting 4 units.
I called back the first store with that info and they told me they would be 100% not receiving them and that no such internal memo exists. Sounds to me like the employees there are planning on holding these for themselves / selling them to friends.
Sure, there are other possibilities, but why were they so quick to deny it completely to me when a gamestop down the street confirmed it happily? Shenanigans?Shenanigans.
I think I'll try to buy one and not open it. Not sure though.

Anyway, I really want to get one, but my original works perfectly fine, and I don't really play my 3DS enough to warrant a $200 purchase anyway. Kinda sucks that I likely won't have the option in the future, though.
My local store said they'd be sold as soon as they got em. Sucks that I finally ended up buying a black XL as I figured these were gone for good. Contemplating buying then selling my black. Just a hassle..,A friend picked one up in KY a few hours ago. Apparently some stores are already selling them.
These may be in-stock at your local store today!
I checked the store locator online earlier this afternoon and saw that almost every store in my area was showing it as 'in-stock'.
I called my local store, had them put one on hold, and picked it up 10 minutes later!
Most of the stores that showed stock 2-3 hours ago seem to have already sold out so don't hesitate if you want one!
Click on the 'View Stores' button under 'Check Store Availability' on the product page and put in your Zip code:

Good luck and hope this helps!
So, it's not letting me check if it's available in stores on the Gamestop page for it anymore. Just says online only and out of stock. I hope that's just temporary and it turns back on if a store gets stuff in.
Same here. Called my local GS as well and they spoke as if they had no idea they were getting another shipment.So, it's not letting me check if it's available in stores on the Gamestop page for it anymore.

wait, what? did your store sell it early?
If I already have a micro sd card in my old 3DS (via adapter) can I just put it in my new system and be done?
I'd gladly buy one from a Gaffer who didn't want theirs. Seriously.
No store with inventory within a 100 mile radius of me.

There are 3 gamestops relatively close to me. I'm planning on going to at least 2 so I can snag one for a friend as well. If I can get a third, I'll PM you and sell it to you for MSRP + shipping
i would also take you up on this if the offer is available! i could also throw in tons of KARMA
If I end up with an extra, sure.
Going to check for a buddy this afternoon. Anyone need me to check for them as well?
every store is getting 4, some already have gotten them and sold them to customers. some won't get them till UPS delivers tomorrow. Some will sell them to customers only, some will probably let employees buy them ahead of customers. its all a giant crap shoot, the online inventory system won't track it since it was shipped to gamestop's directly.
Its all being sold in store only (not online) today and tomorrow, there will probably be lines at stores tomorrow morning. I wouldn't count on many employees knowing whats going on until someone wants to buy one and they hunt around and find it in their today/tomorrow UPS delivery boxes.
If you do get one I'd buy also the Hori clear TPU case for the new 3DS XL, its currently OOS on amazon but you can buy it at gamestop, best buy, etc

I'd also expect a big chunk of these sold at gamestop today/tomorrow to end up on eBay.
Yes please. I'd pay full MSRP plus shipping. Dying to get this.Going to check for a buddy this afternoon. Anyone need me to check for them as well?
What area are you in? I'm in Austin, Texas.
Memphis, TN.
Thanks!I'll keep an eye out for two extras!
I can't get the damn screws out of the bottom of the system...
