not sure if I'm too late on this issue but I've been hearing a lot of rumors on the net about this hardware revisions coming 2012. As an early adopter of 3ds I'm already pissed on their silly price cut after 6 months now they're slapping us with a refined 3ds not later than a year? This is ridiculous. I love nintendo but this is getting worse. I hope its not true I'm not insinuating or something but if this is true then...(deep sharp inhale, eyes closed then exhale grief)
