Hardware Can anyone confirm if new batch of 3DSes are on 11.3?

I am pretty sure these sources are just bullshitting for attention. I've said it before, but systems are made weeks to months in advanced. Once they are made they are updated to the latest OFW and shipped to a warehouse until they are needed. They rarely start shipping out new batches until they've cleared through previous batches.
This isn't even including shipping time from the factories.
It's extremely unlikely to find a new system this early with 11.3 on it.

Galaxy 3dses likely to be 11.2. Got me a standard carbon one last week and it was 11.1.

I just got a brand new Galaxy style N3DS from Target after a restock, and it's on 11.2. Serial starts with QW1237...

As others have said.
It cant be 11.3
It takes time to make, pack and ship them. 11.3 just drop not to long ago.

On a side note. I wonder of there low stock was due to making the switches, and putting them before the 3ds.

Either way a 3ds you buy now to about the end of march or mid april should be good. After that its a big chance it will be a 11.3

So what? You should be able to intercept the Nintendo Update service to get a downgrade from idk what tweak. No?

Nope, the communication with the update servers is SSL encrypted and only accepts Nintendo's certificate, so redirecting it to another server would just cause the update to fail as soon as it tries to communicate with the server.
Besides that, there's a minimum version check that prevents downgrading without ARM9 kernel access.

Update: My Gamestop refurb fates edition n3dsxl, ordered on Feb 10th came with 11.2 as well. It seems Gamestop services these systems at least weeks/months in advance before shipping them.

Also on an amusing note FBI is still installed in health and safety.

I brought a used one from ebay and updated the same day 11.3 came out as I wasn't aware 11.3 was out . Sold that one back on the bay and brought a brand new one on 9th Feb 2017, it came with 11.1.0-34E

Well the new 3ds xl pikachu edition comes out the day after tomorrow. If anyone here gets it, please post what firmware it's on. I'm really nervous about this. I don't want to spend $200 on a paperweight.

I'm thankful that I can still run homebrew on my new 3DS LL pikachu edition after unknowingly updating it. .-.
Originally it came with 11-1.0. Perhaps 11-2.0 will become a reality for the American release.

It won't be on 11.3. It might be on 11.2, but most likely it will be on something older

I just got my Pikachu edition of the 3ds xl and the firmware is 11.2.0-35U.
