Gaming Has your pre-order been dispatched already?

[jamesaa]

Bring it and hope nobody knocks you out and takes it.

Nah, i assume all the muggers will be waiting around the corner for kids with bright purple Game bags, my 3DS will be safely concealed in a pocket by then.

That or i could use my 1337 ninja skills to hide in the shadows

Well I've just received SSF4 and Nintendogs. If only I pre-ordered the 3DS from Zavvi AND knew that I have the day off uni today, I would've gotten a 3DS by now. Also, the games were in a box so massive that the Euro 3DS box can fit. It's like they're using this type of box for all 3DS orders

You'll be earning playcoins while you que!

I except my 3ds to arrive today.
Sucks so many people are getting theirs early.
Competition.

I've ordered mine from a big dutch online retailer called Bol.com but they didn't send it to me yet.
However Eyewish Groeneveld called me moments ago that the new glasses I ordered are ready. Yes, I bought new glasses for the 3DS.
It's called dedication.

But the 3DS doesn't need glasses!

I normally take my glasses off to play on my DS Lite or PSP, i assume i'll end up doing the same for the 3DS.

I can get mine from the store right now ¬¬ just got called

I do the same, but since the 3DS sends one image to your left eye and the other to your right, i'm afraid that 3D won't work if I don't wear my glasses. ( i've got one ''bad'' eye )
But we'll see. I hope I get the 3DS tomorrow. However I still haven't got confirmation on that though.

Also I haven't ordered a launch game. I'm waiting for more reviews. If Splinter Cell 3D is any good i'll pick up that one.

 

[nintendodstefan]

Woehoe!
I just got a message from the Gamestore
"Your 3DS has arrived and is ready to pickup"
So.... Off to the gamestore!

Just had 2 deliverd home with 2 games at £414 total

 

[jamesaa]

Just had a knock at the door, opened it, was given a box, signed for it, opened it...

annnnd.....

Spoiler

d'oh! forgot I was waiting for that too

 

[Nollog]

heh, looks around the same size as the 3ds eu box too.

Did your heart sink when you saw it, or were you okay?

i would have been crushed (and then i would have raged

)

 

[jamesaa]

I figured the box was too light before i opened it, that and it was a different courier to the one that should be delivering my 3DS.

It isn't helping that my front door is being knocked on alot today (about to move house so have been giving away alot of old junk) and everytime time my first thought is "3DS!!!!" - oh, no another cheapskate who wants an old tv/computer/toy etc.

I should know better, my tracking states 4:25pm as a minimum so i shouldn't expect it 'till then.

what if the delivery is a few days late and the new house owners get a free 3ds? D:

 

[jamesaa]

House is mine until the end of the month, gives them a week extra to deliver it, if it's not here by then i'm cancelling the order and getting a refund (either from the store or my credit card company, either way works for me)

 

[Melee85]

According to my order tracking from GameGears, my Aqua Blue 3DS has already left the local delivery depot and is on the van making its delivery route. It should be here today soon I hope.

But the games I was planning to go buy at the local 24-hour Tescos, so I don't get them til midnight.

 

[jamesaa]

Zavvi may have just lost my 2nd 3DS pre-order: Tesco cuts 3DS to £175

(the 3DS i'm waiting for today is from Asda)

 

[Hihomaster]

got my 3DS yesterday at my local game store. Nintendo apparently gave the authorization for French Game stores to sell it earlier ^^

 

[Eighteen]

Yeah, I totally got one

I fiddled with it a while, and made this picture.

Kirby is soooo cute!!

Spoiler: Kirbyyyyy

 

[Frostshocker]

Yay! Mine just arrived
