So I decided to order the Gateway and looked on Craigslist for a cheap 3DS as a backup. I already have a 4.5 3DS
BAM... Found a good deal:
2x 3DS, lady asking for 75 each. I talked her down to 130 for the pair. On the ad, it said her kids "never played with it."
So I ask the lady and gave her instructions to give me the firmware on the device if possible:
Her answer:
/facepalm
Holy BALLS, this lady is technology illiterate! I told her that I would stop by and take a look at both 3DS...
Ends up, this lady WAS NOT lying. These devices looked like they were never updated at all! One of the 3DS had firmware of 2.2... and the other with firmware of 3.0
I took them without hesitation... Now I have in my possession: 4.5, 2.2 and 3.0 3DS. I was hoping one of them would be a 5.XX or higher firmware so I can use it to play X&Y online.
Now I don't know what to do... I never thought having three low firmware devices would be such a curse.

Felt like I had to share!

Just one quick question. Can you possibly check the firmware on the 3DS? Its pretty easy to find. Its under:
System Settings
On the bottom right of the top screen, it will say: Ver. 6.3.0 for example.
If you could also give me your availability, I would appreciate it!
Her answer:
on the back of the device it says 4.6V=IN ?????????????? Is that helpful??
