Ok, another day, a calm mind (I hope). Let me explain what I was getting at.
I simply don't see needing to open the back of the 3DS like that as an issue, at least for my self. I have one 32GB SD card in my 3DS XL which still has plenty of free space on it, and when it comes to 3DS games, I download them more often then I go out to a store and buy them. As my SD card isn't close to full, I can't see the need to change it any time soon. I even have a high speed 32GB microSD card ready to go whenever it gets released here in North America. So no, I don't honestly see that it would be an issue, at least for me.
Then there's the whole removable storage bit. I think we are running off different definitions here. When I think of removable storage, I think of stuff like hard drives in my PC or PS3. Something designed to be replaced by a user if needed, and the new 3DS certainly falls under that. You were thinking (at least I think you were) about stuff like flash drives and what not. Something you can just plug in and remove with little to no effort, and I get that. And I guess the original 3DS was like that, but I don't think it was designed with that in mind (try removing an SD card while the system is on).
I was trying to get across my point, you were trying to get across yours, I was getting annoyed that you didn't seem to want to listen, you were annoyed with the same.
And I don't consider my self a fanboy of anything, I'm willing to call out faults of everything I own, I just can't see the micro SD card placement on the New 3DS being a problem. At least not for me.
That make sense?
