Zombie thread, RAAAGH

[omegart]

I bought my New 3ds the last week and I'm already tired of waiting. While I was reading that mail of a few pages back I felt a terrible pain both in my heart and ass...

Just buy some regular game. On subito you can find a lot of good game for like 20 euros (fe, prof layton, pokémon, mh) or buy a ds flashcard to play some ds games. At least your console is pal

 

[trakskills]

damnit no one in my area has the fuckers in stock so I can't look before I buy!

I can buy it ONLINE but I could get fucked over again.

I have 15 days before I'm stuck with this 9.4 asshole. Son of bitch!

Thanks Oba---I mean, NINTENDO!

I called the white house for you. Barack has some in stock.

Back when I got my 4.5 console I straight up told the Walmart checkout lady why I needed the one behind the others specifically. She didn't care about or understand much of what I was telling her. Picked it up, scanned it, I gave her money, and then I was on my way. Typical Walmart.

when i wanted an ipad a long time ago i had to check the serial number online to see if it had the old fw that could be jail broken. i talked to the guy at radio shack and told him why one of the works said oh we cant do that. the other one said its no big deal and he got 3 of them from the back and let me check all 3

knowing radio shack i might have been the only sale they got all day

Do Walmart site to store. I just ordered a black one and I will be ready for pickup tommorow. Just to increase my odds. If it is a 9.4 I will just return it or if I am sure it is 9.4 at the check out just refuse it right there and ask for a refund. Most likely it is just coming out of the stores existing stock anyway.

Back on topic. F you gateway!

 

[johnboyjr]

thinking of getting a replacement at Wal-Mart. Anyone have any luck here?

that's where i got mine

Be careful. If you use "Download play" with another 3DS that have 9.5, it'll ask you to update (I tried it) and if you say "no", you can't play the game (and if you say "Yes", you're screwed").

When you use downloadplay, the one who host the game should be the one with the lowest firmware (and clients should have at least the same firmware or higher).

Host (9.0) => Client (9.4) = Works.
Host (9.4) => Clent (9.0) = Doesn't work.

Were you using a CIA? That will cause this prompt. Roms should never do this.

I bought 10 sky3ds cards this morning just as a f.ck you to gateway.

They are probably owned by the same company haha

 

[ehnoah]

I sent my 3DS back. I going to get a new one, once time is here. Even in a big City, you get still 4.5 3DS XL so 9.0 will be easy as well.

I called the white house for you. Barack has some in stock.

Nah, those are Michelle's, she's hoarding them to force kids to go outside and play because she's the world's nanny.

Good. America is mostly just morbidly obese children now. That's why the coasts are slowly sinking, not global warming.

I hear he's selling them cheap cause the NSA's loaded them with veiled malware again.

seems there will be nothing tonight neither..=[
please GW,, save us!

It would be amusing if they released early N3DS support which only worked via ninjhax. Hoping for something this week, but there might be even more delays, so who knows.

They don't get paid enough to give a shit lol.

The customer is always right.

 

[thorasgar]

No reason for the store manager to give a shit either. He sold you a console instead of you buying it at Best Buy at the other end of the strip mall.

 

[2Hack]

The customer is always right.

Customer is almost never right but PR and not having bitchy customers yelling for their refund is accepted by managers for some reason...

That, and the fact that the old lady working customer service doesn't give a shit/know shit

It was just stupid. A dumb hugbox of people saying "hype? hype!". Whenever any real discussion attempted to take foothold it was drowned out the "le hype" crowd.
Gateway released the Ultra update in response to people whining, therefore they obviously listen to the community. This means that we obviously have some degree of sway over their actions.

If our actions consist of "le hype train" then Gateway know that they don't need to work very hard since we're too busy spewing a tired meme to be bothered by anything.

Here's a great example:

I wonder why there is no real news. Maybe because you're too busy "le hyping" to put any pressure on Gateway.

I disagree. Remember the hype train put massive massive pressure on gw. Emails were flying left right and center. Ppl were hyped for the update and putting more and more pressure due to that. Just because we were hyped doesn't mean we didn't care when they released. We just had a fun way to chill and wait and be updated on the news.

The hype on this thread has been dead for a long time and people have stopped sending emails even. People are just exhausted at this point, I think.

Also, releasing 'to stop the whining' isn't possible if you don't have a product. It also sounds like something they would say just as a 'finally it's done'. I seriously doubt the pressure we put in them did anything significant tbh.

Also, Early release for o3ds made sense as that would be the easier of the two to prepare. Only thing pressure will do is lead to a more rushed release(not saying this is bad, or good). If they don't have it, they don't have it, simple as that.

Maybe Gateway is keeping us in the dark to NOT give Nintendo bread crumbs to pick up before Gateway releases the BIG update secret surprise?

I'm soooo close to buying a sky3DS......
nearly pulled the trigger just then - but thought i'd poke my head in here to see if 'Soon' was today.
