I went to the Meijer store here in Marysville, OH yesterday to see if they had any New Nintendo 3DS XL's left in stock since they were on sale for only $179.99. To my surprise they had 5 black and 5 red. I purchased 2 black units with serial numbers QW1028 and QW1022 and they both had 9.0 firmware. I asked the associate if I could look at the other serial numbers and they had 3 others that had low serials (QW1050 or below).

These sales associates will always tell you that the consoles are all updated/all the same. I have even told them that lower serial numbers have lower firmware and they still try to tell me that they are all updated. I had a gem of an associate at Walmart in Springfield, OH that swore up and down that all the 3DS consoles they had were on the latest firmware. Needless to say, I bought 2 from there that had 9.0 firmware on them too. HEHEHE. For anyone looking for a low serial/firmware console, I would suggest checking stores that are located in rural/diverse areas.

Yeah it sounds kind of racist but the best place to search is low income areas where people cannot normally afford these kinds of things :wink:

I was able to score a red QW1027xxxx n3DS at a Shoppers Drug Mart today (on sale for 199.99 but they had them before for 20 bucks cheaper); FW 9.0.0-20U. The one branch I went to had 8 units, all high serial numbers. The 2nd had 4 units, only 1 with a low serial. Guess I was lucky.

As far as I know, in North America *ALL* regular n3DSes are FW 9.5+



well im in u.k. as far as i know north america never got the new3ds normal in ice white with the famicon style buttons....i dont know why not for the life of me but thats nintendo....i woulda thought famicon or snes as we called it woulda had a huge following in n america as compared to europe. but i got it and i love it......cheers
