Topic: Why the black frame around top 3DS screen?

I was wondering the very same thing so I decided to do a little experiment. I made 3 different cut outs, each a different color (White, Red, and Blue) to see how they affected the 3D of the top 3DS screen.

I can honestly say, the red and blue frames had me focusing too much on them and not the screen. The white one was alright, but even it seemed to take a little bit away from the focus on the actual 3D screen. When I took them off and went back to the black frame that comes on the unit, it was very easy to see why Nintendo went with it on all of the 3DS models. The subtleness of it really allows you to concentrate on the screen itself and not the background surrounding it.

Why the black frame around Corbie's avatar?

Thought it made the background colors stand out a bit. LOL. OCD really.

Well that's rather clever. Nice observation, Corbie!

Thanks for letting us benefit from your experiment, Corbs! Much appreciated. Now I don't have to do it myself.

If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.

Put the 3DS in a blender and see if it will explode.

Will it blend?

I just went to put the 3DS in the blender and it printed out a $100 bill. The 3DS DOES print money!!!

Did it print the money out before or after the blending? Wondering maybe it was desperate not to be blended

btw if you have nay extra of those $100 bills, I'll take one

Wouldn't that be a 100 yen bill? :3

Is this bit of information already in the FAQ? a lot of people seem to be curious about the black border.

Wait, did you do this experiment with your original 3DS (the one with the broken top screen) or the replacement unit?
