Topic: When will you get your 3DS?

I'm not buying one until they fix the battery life. I'll stockpile games for it though, just like I did with the DS and PSP. That worked out great for me (but would be a problem for someone who doesn't have a shred of patience).

I'm not buying it until the price goes down. I'm not Paying more than $200 for the damn thing.

I'll probably get it when Zelda comes out. If that's not March 25th then I think I can wait. Even then I'm not going to stand in line for it or anything like that.

I will get the aqua blue 3DS on the release date !!!

December 2012 at the earliest. Too many games in my backlog at the moment and I just bought a PSP in december 2010.

any one know exactly what games will be ready for launch date? that will determine when i buy.

Since when does matter on how you got it?

If my relatives stay true to their promises, I should have enough for a 3DS and a game next month for my birthday (about $290 so far, huge chance I may get more cash ), So I'll probably get mine on launch day.

1300 mAh, eh? I thought I read somewhere that it was 800 mAh.
Well hey! The 3DS battery isn't as weak as I thought!

I'm going to Best Buy Friday to reserve mine. ... Cosmos Black.

When I get bored of all my other consoles

When red comes out and I can afford to buy it. It will help if I sell my DSi. This time with an awesome machine like this, I'm getting the colour I want! I bought a White DSi when the only other colour was black and I wanted the black one more but they sold out of it so I got white instead (and that was the last one left) But if they don't have a red one in stock when I go to buy it then I'm not getting one until they get more red ones.

Hopefully by my birthday in May.

But seeing how things are going..... March 27th.

I'ma wait till they finish making the thing before I buy a 3DS. All these features promised with a future system update that may or may not happen... I'll wait until the 3DS actually does what they advertise it does... so at least the Summer, probably later.

I´ll try to not get it before the next version. Me thinks it will be out sometime thistime nextyear. Nintendo want to sell as many as they can of this version next christmas. Main reason for the wait is that I want bigger screens... at least bigger than "my" current DSi. This first "phat" 3DS actually has almost 3% smaller screenarea than a regular DSi. There is also the known battery issue with worst case scenario batterylife of 3 hours. With the current charging time of 3,5 hours that means that the 3DS wants more current than the charger provides. I must add that this might not be that of an issue that many are afraid of. Just checked the DSi comparison chart and see that the DSi also has 3 hours worst case scenario batterylife and... I have no problems with that!

I'm actually begining to think I don't need a 3DS for three main reasons:

1. A lot of the journos from the events are saying that they had to turn down the 3d effect because it made the games harder to play or because they were suffering from headaches.
2. Looking at the way games are controlled reminds me too much of why I don't like playing action games with my DS. Look at Kid Icarus, has anyone played Starfox Command? Aiming and shooting with the stylus is awkward and not fun at all.
3. If you look a the lineup of launch games, there's nothing really that stands out and makes me think I need a 3DS. Only Zelda, but come on, a remake.
Is anyone else thinking "mmmm I wonder what the PSP2 has to offer"?

Day 1.

Aqua Blue is already pre-ordered with $155 down plus $5 on Kid Icarus.

This is the FIRST time I've ever pre-ordered a game console and shall be the first time I ever get one on release. And this may be the first time I attend a midnight launch for a console and in general if my Gamestop in the mall does it (they've been known for doing midnight launches anyhow).

Really exciting. And I'll be getting the next 2 revisions just to have the different versions of the 3DS. Some say it's a waste, but I don't care Considering on making a display case for the consoles I've owned and the revisions I got of them consoles.

Plus, having two 3DS' is good for those Pokemon games, so it's not a waste after all. And one can be for 'back-up'. So, now the whole 'waste' thing is disregarded. I shall stop ranting now.

Another plus is that (hopefully) by that time, all the services mentioned will be up and running or close such as the Internet Browser through the update.

pre-ordered mine on gamestop getting it first day. but i cant really decide what color i should get

I'll get it around June I guess...

According to Amazon, mine should be arriving anytime during April 7-19
Cosmos Black
It is the first time i preorder a console, so i don't know.i hope everything goes alright.

I will probably have to wait some time before getting a 3DS game, though.

March 27 2011 and SSF4 and I will show it to the Sony N00Bs on my bus on the 28th
