Take your pick. Just takes a friendly smile and a "Hello I need to find a 3DS with 2012 on the back of the box. Can you help me?".

[Eyesenish]

cool thanks guys but some people want em cheaper and say they cant afford to change du to prices (i can give names here but i wont lol) and 2012 console are gonna run out eventually from retailers so craigslist,ebay,...listings are all good even local websites

The Game Collection

Sure you can ask if it's after or before 2012, i think.

It's simple:

You ask what the copyright number on the back of the box towards the bottom is.

I did this at Gamestop and just traded my 3DS for an XL. Tada!

Off topic, but I'm curious: What color did you trade in, and what color did you end up with?

Any way of getting one (or swapping one) while spending the least amount of money possible? Preferably one that isn't (too) used?


Edit: Weird. Seems like Nintendo's selling refurbished 3DS and XL consoles

I think there are people on Craigslist who are willing to trade as well, I made an ad on there to see if people will get a hold of me/

Selling it on Amazon will also yield far more cash than if you did at Gamestop

im actually thinking of trading my 3ds 4.5 for a 3ds xl 4.5

I traded in I think... a black normal 3DS and got a blue 3DS XL?

You have to find a game for like a buck in the DS "games bin", where all the outcasts go. At least at the gamestops where I'm from, if you get something that was pre-owned they'll give you more for your trade in. Got me an extra 30 bucks by buying that game that I just threw away!

I'll have to buy a 3DS XL on 4.5 (My 3DS 4.5 is broken, I tryed again to add nand dump thing but again failed, and this time it's worse...)
I'll say you if the shop I intend to go have copyright 2012 or not (It may be usefull if french people comes here)

come for what ??

 

[Arnold0]

Comes here searching about 4.5 or less 3DS's XL

 

[Kupie]

Yes, that's what we're talking about...

If it was a 2012 copyright, it will have a firmware that's 4.5 or below. Firmwares above 4.5 for US came out after 2012, so it's a guarantee!

 

[Arnold0]

I know. What I want to say it's if some french come here they will know if at lest the shop I'll go tommorow still have ©2012 or not

Does anyone know what firmware the Fire emblem european limited edition has?

 

[xyzmanas]

I am pretty sure all the 3ds in India which are in stock are below 4.5. My friend just got his a day before on v1.x I guess.
