Hardware N3DS Worth buying

[chris888222]

The 3DS's touch screen is small, 3D screen I think it's okay.

The touch screen is the same size as the original DS and DSlite. I think its plenty big.

What do you mean small? I'm guessing u have a DSxL or wutevah the hugh one is.

Indeed I am using a DSi XL. after using that monster console, 3.02" just looks small. However, i bet the XL owners who are upgrading to a 3DS will sure be able to adapt to it quickly.

I finally got around to playing one a little bit ago, and for some strange reason, I really want to get one. I dunno why. I might ultimately wait for my birthday, so that there are some better games on the market, but other than the occasional weird 3D problems (like tilting) I love the system.

Tilting side to side (left to right and vi versa) give more room then tilting back and forth.

Yes it is worth it.


You can't really judge the 3DS on manufacturing and shipping issues.

time to get out your rulers kids!
I think you will find the 3DS touch screen to be smaller than the DS, DSlite, DSi and DSiXL.
(you can hardly tell but its a chunk in area smaller)
It is nearly twice the resolution though too.
Keep to facts instead of what you want to be true.

ps. ON TOPIC
Taking my 3DS back today for a refund. Top screen permanently scratched/dirtied by bottom screen and will not come clean. Nintendo service center say any screen issues incur a £46 charge. They will not fix this problem for free.
I would buy another, but only a re-design (or I'll get some felt strips to stick to the bottom screen border as that may help)
3D is amazing but too many issues with the console for me to justify keeping a faulty unit, especially at this price.

Nope, hence why I kept my DSiXL and saved up for the 3DS otherwise.

A couple of weeks into owning a 3ds and honestly im almost never touching it. I just bought and hacked a psp go and im playing more of its games now. The month of.may and june will be big for the 3ds though.

With all the problems I've been seeing with the product's design flaws, I'm definitely waiting for a new model of it.

WHAT???
There are no problems unless the touchscreen sides touching the above screen which can wiped off!

I've heard people complain about faulty SD card slots, bad RAM, crashing firmware (which could be fixed by now, I really don't know), excessively loose hinges, dead pixels ranging from one pixel to entire horizontal lines, scratched top screens caused from screen contact, and probably some more that I'm forgetting. And these are only from the Temp.

As far as I'm concerned, Nintendo could have definitely done more extensive testing on the hardware before launch.
I hate to say it but... Nintendo, I am disappoint.

Sounds like the same complaints as the DS had\has. So no real change then. Won't sway me from buying one. My friend got a dead pixel on his ds when he bought his, which was a week after i got one. He just traded it in for a new one and no problems there.

Why not buy it...soon?

I bought it now, because I had the money now. I may not have the money in June.
