QUOTE said:IGN: Knowing what happened with the DS, when they first showed the DS back at E3 2004 -- it changed. When it came out there were a number of differences in the form factor, and some other more subtle changes. Are we going to see this exact 3DS system at its launch, or will there be subtle differences?
Konno: I think you should be looking forward to this one right here.

If we take the head hardware designer's word for it, it looks like this is the final retail version of the 3DS (or at least close to that).
Until I read this article I didn't even know there was a built-in IR port. Hopefully it gets more use than the PSP IR.
