There's another large assumption that the N3DS exploit (the miimaker exploit) was patched in 9.3+. While it's certainly possible it was patched, we don't know this for sure. The GW team might actually be holding back the N3DS exploit simply because they want to support the maximum amount of N3DS upon release as possible, as opposed to just the AUS and JPN ones. Not releasing it possibly keeps Nintendo from knowing what it is, and possibly keeps it from being patched that much longer.

This is just speculation, but even if N3DS launch with 9.3+, it might not be the end of the world.
I am a believer that they have found a new exploit, but decided to just release the blocked one since most of their users had remained on 9.2 anyways. Until the n3DS is released all over, it is pointless to release so early. Got to make sure they're not on 9.4. If they aren't, I am assuming the 9.4+ exploit wouldn't be released unless it is blocked, or a long enough amount of time has passed to make a new exploit more profitable.

--Also just speculation :)

oops. Dbl post :/

"New" Nintendo 3DS XL's are selling for £304 on amazon, I'm assuming Its just greedy cunts trying to make a profit before they release over here. Wouldn't be surprised if thats the RRP though, fucking UK tax is a pisstake.

It's £229 from what I've seen. Probably a bunch of 3rd party sellers trying to win the early market. Shouldn't be more that 229

or you can sell it locally. I'll be looking to recoup at least double that offer, granted I have a Limited Edition :)
But ye, It is convenient to just give it off to GameStop.

All my local stores only take in ~$60 for it though. The only way I can get more than $100 is if I sell it myself like through ebay and i'm too lazy to learn how to use ebay and package and ship my stuff

I'm selling it locally on kijiji. If it doesn't go through, I'll move to eBay, I've got a good history with eBay but would rather dodge the 12% selling fee

whenever I read something like this, I get a mini heart attack. I need that 9.2 :cry: It's like a gamble to even read.

I think most stores will let you refund full price as long as you don't open the box. And i don't think you'll need to open the box to know the FW, just read what ppl say on here on Feb 13. I'm pretty sure we'll all be getting the same FW

I gotta keep it whether its on 9.2 or not. It's MM. I might just buy the game as well or sth. I will be buying a reg 3ds just in case anyways for GW and to downgrade and mess around with.I'll be there first thing in the morning on release anyways, since I got class and stuff a few hours later.

Also I'm smart with unpackaging 3DS consoles and can make it look as if it hasn't been opened if I change my mind :D I just don't want to change my mind :(

What update could it be if it was already on 9.4?

Here are my predictions..

9.2 on the US consoles.
9.5 or 10.0 is released and Sky3ds still works.
n3ds gets Gateway Support with taht Mii Maker exploit...

DSTWO+ shows up and we pop some popcorn and see who wins.:wacko:

:P so much suspense! I'm a bit confuse with what GW can do on the N3DS (9.2 and lower) atm. Is it just the downgrading that is not working or you can't use GW at all on a N3DS atm?

an update higher than 9.4 is impossible. Any reviewers of the NA n3DS have had to update to 9.4 meaning it's either on 9.3 or less.

GW is not supported at all yet unfortunately.
