I got my Jap 3DS back when it came out, I had it for a few months and nothing... I havent used it at all, waiting for gateway so I havent imported any games, its still in 8.0
Let's just hope the next GW update gives us emunand support and region changer, because I have 2 3DS by now and I want to sell them. Dammit saves holding me into doing it. But now, my New3DS is just an Advance Wars machine.
Got the Metallic Blue AU N3DS XL off PA, first because I wanted to be in that "window" 9.0-9.2, second it was NEVER officially going to get released here in India.
Bought a JP New 3DS regular, don't regret it since NA didn't' get the regular model. I updated the console to 9.2 and haven't done anything with it since besides playing DS games.
got a AUS console, but it was the same price as the UK price anyway and really these things are a gamble, i could of waited to find out if the UK consoles came with 9.0-9.2, but if they didn't the prices of AUS consoles would certainly of sky rocketed.....so it was a gamble that didn't really pay off, but on the other hand didn't really cost any more than if i would of waited
