[DamnThatsHawt]

Do you guys think that gamestop still has 4.5 or below 3ds xls?
Thinking about trading in my aqua blue 3ds and a couple of games to get a new 3ds XL.

Guys, a stupid question but...Are all 3DS below 4.5? Can I safely purchase one new?

I bought my silver 3DS XL on Saturday in a local video game shop in Moscow, it has 4.2.0 or 4.3.0 (I don't remember exactly). Now that I look at the box closely, it indeed has "© 2012 Nintendo." line on the front (looking at your belly) side.
I had no problems testing it before buying, which involved turning it on, clicking through the initial setup and going to system options to check the firmware.
It's now laying still, waiting for the charger, R4i, plastic case and screen protectors to arrive, while I'm waiting for Gateway 3DS review and planning the flash dump.
I was ready to keep it offline forever, but now it looks like I'll be able to dual-boot 4.5.0+current FW and give Nintendo some more of my money (for Fire Emblem DLC for example).

Hi Just curious is russia its own region or is it from Nintendo of Europe?

Hey all, I don't want to link directly to anything because I don't want this post to be perceived as spam in any way, but there's a seller on eBay selling the OG 3DS and XL (used) from 119-149 and listing their firmware versions in the title if you don't want to jump through any hoops to procure a low firmware 3DS.

I saw this 3DS XL from a local shop. It had Copyright 2012 and SS10******* i dont know the others. Can someone confirm the firmware? Its pissing me off because my brother plans on selling his black/black (6.0) and buy this MK7 bundle, and told him about hacking; so its really a gamble because we arent sure.

I'm seeing tons of sets like this too! Some of the sets have copyright 2011-2012. Waiting for someone to confirm the firmware as well.

Seeing as you're from a country close to Demonbecks it must also stand for Singapore.

They might, but good luck being able to find out. Most are incredibly snobby/douche-y about such things, and will try to insist you buy it first before they let you check it out.

I recently visited a store with same product but it was uae version, and the copyright was 2012 and yeah <12xxxxxx, i was ready to buy but the main guy at the store was so busy that he forgot to take money before testing the 3ds xl (it was red black), another guy opened it for me , i was shocked that it had 6.xxxxx , then i had to argue with the main guy as the seal was broken, after a long argument i managed to convince him that that i cant buy, and my money was saved.
If you want, you can order it from ebay , and the seller name is rossgames, they have few in stock, i just received mine 3ds xl red black and it was on 4.5xxxx, and it costs 270$.

I understand people in other countries than North America, Asia (JPN/HK/KOR) and EU may not have a lot of options where it comes to purchasing 3DS XLs, but I just paid $149 (+ tax) for a new unopened box at a retail store. That's Canadian so it's even less in US funds. Looks to me like $270 is quite expensive.
