God, this sucks. I really wanted to see the 3D effect and the colors in person.

I guess I'll just have to stay put until March 27th. Fortunately, Pokemon Black and White should keep me occupied.

my gamestop said they would not get any since it is impossible to keep handhelds working more than a week before they are destroyed

Yeah, that's what I figured would be the issue.

Maybe they can do the same as when the Wii first came out.

There were Wiis set up in a demo unit, but they kept the wiimotes behind the counter, and only let you use them if you handed over your drivers license or ID. maybe they can do the same with the 3DS. Just keep it behind the counter.

The game places where I am don't have any demo's yet either. It's annoying considering I am in a huge town/small city.

i know i ceartainly won't buy a unit untill i held a demo unit in my own hands.
If the store sells the 3ds but has got no demo units, i am going to ask if i can have a look at the device before i buy it.
If that's not possible, i will go to another store, untill i find one that has one on demo.
and if nobody has them on demo, i won't buy one untill i can glimpse at the device.

no demo units = seriously bad move.

no matter if nintendo, sony or dingoo, the retail electronics store should ALWAYS have THE NEWEST console on display.

Bump: new info.

Neogaf is reporting Best Buy is getting demo stations in. Some are already set up. It might be worth while to call your local store!

Source? I was going to skip school with my friend Monday and go to the city to try it out, but this would be MUCH easier.

Edit:

Just Google'd it, and this? http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=152675

Edit#2:

I just called my local Best Buy (Pretty large store), and I asked about the demo units. They said, "We get them March, 27th". So either this rumor isn't legit, the sales rep didn't know what she was talking about, or my store just isn't getting one.
