Nintendo 3DS Released! (Also, Friend Codes here)

[GuardhouseMusic]

Well, my 3DS arrived, and two days early! I haven't opened it, I'm going to a friend's birthday party, but I'll definitely post my friend code when I get the chance.

If all goes well, I'll probably pick up Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey and SSFIV3D tomorrow.

[Branden_Lucero]

haha, Black Screen of Death already. that's why i wait for the improvement to come.

[Agent_Wong]

What did you get a black screen on???? Granted I haven't done much with mine as of yet but already, really?

[Branden_Lucero]

don't have one. but its all over google (like isn't surprising)

[Agent_Wong]

Well, I dunno about the rest of the userbase, but that was one of the first things I did was update as soon as I had my wifi set up. Although I agree that it was probably to be expected from the first shipment of new hardware that something was bound to turn up somewhere.

[Branden_Lucero]

i never understood firmware updates for the DS line. did the original fat one have them? cause if it did i could never get it to work.

[Agent_Wong]

Not sure on that, my son had a dsi but I never really did anything with that so I'm not sure. I know I just checked after I read that post to see if there was another update and it said my unit was up to date, so.

[Canas Renvall]

Only the DSi on up had firmware updates. And yes, for the most part, doing the initial system update rids the system of the black screen issue, which thankfully I've had no issue with,

EDIT:

Canas, you better be free for some Mercs 3D/Reveleations COOP (if there is COOP) when they're out. I need my fellow Resident Evil 5 partner to kick ass and take names, like we did with the DLC on the hardest difficutly ;)

Dude, both are day one purchases for me, so if you wanna go through Revelations together first time or whenever, totally, just gimme a shout. Mercs, too (which is confirmed multiplayer. ) Desperate Escape... Augh. What a NIGHTMARE. [/bad RE5 DLC pun]

Also, added Agent Wong and Emma. You'll have to post yours when you get your own too, my good man!

Edit Edit: Augh, my bad on the double-post. Sorry!

Reports are the black screen was from certain SD cards not being formatted right.

I haven't experienced any issues.

[Branden_Lucero]

brings me the time with the flashing screen on the NES. where every hour you prayed the system would work.

[let me live]

Pre-ordered my 3DS with 1-day shipping from Amazon in January, come this morning I wake up to an email saying that the blasted thing has been delayed and won't be shipped until mid-April.

So, just cancel the pre-order right? Unfortunately my order has already been processed, and under Amazon's policies I am unable to cancel processed transactions.

I blame Scientology.

Look forward to playing some games of SF and of course Mercs when it comes out. EDIT: Just added Canas, Agent_Wong, and Alexia.

They shouldn't be charging until they are shipping, if they delayed it that long you have every right to cancel.

Mine was just processed from Amazon....I had it on Super Savers Free Shipping and
packaged with another order.

I had to wait for the other product to come out on the 29th for them to process the
order.

...for those curious fellas, I ordered the blu-ray release of Evangelion 2.22 which is
currently $19.99. *cough* Darkmoon *cough*

Anyway, I'll be applying the $25 off credit for getting a 3DS from amazon to get SSFIV
as it is the best 3DS launch game according to most sources. You also get an extra $10
credit for ordering any of the launch 3DS or at least selected ones, SSFIV being one of
them, maybe I'll be getting Ridge Racer as well with the $10 off credit.

The credit lasts until June 30th and it's only currently for the launch games, but maybe the
list of qualifying games will be updated as newer games come out.

The launch titles isn't a strong one, but I got Kingdom Hearts: Recoded & Pokemon Black
to still keep me busy for a long while.
