I have mine now!
Got it just after 9am at JB.
Made sure to test it in the shop to check that the cameras worked properly and there were no dead pixels.
Only just managed to drag myself away from it now to post this.
I've taken a bunch of 3D photos and made a Mii and scanned a bunch of other Miis from QR codes on the net. Haven't even tried AR games or Samurai Warriors yet.
I tried to apply the touch screen screen protector that came in the accessory pack but it wasn't quite the right size, it left a little gap at one side, so I took it off again and decided I'll just live dangerously.
