It is, but it's the exact same thing. You're just going through extra steps unless they plan to remove QR from the camera lite.BAH...i thought it was for redeeming something you have boughteshop://[appid] etc.folders and eshop looking awesome, i like this alot.
and using QR codes in the eshop now? even better.
now...how does the QR code format work for the eshop to get free stuff ?
It's just a url qr code.
We've been able to scan them by using the lite camera (L/R from the home menu) for months, but hey if people want to launch the eshop, click the bottom, click settings/others, scroll down, click "Scan QR", and then do it, who are we to point out a faster way to do it?
