Interesting. Your serial seems very low for a 4.5 FW.

yep, just double checked to be sure, it is correct. I think they have been stored for a while at the shop. I bought 2 weeks ago but i think the release of all black colour was March 2013?

Maybe someone else who bought from Argos in the UK when the Layton deal was on 2 weeks ago can confirm a similar serial.

I got two blue ones in the mail (United States), SW 1249 and SW 1251, both say copyright 2012. Both should be 4.5 or under correct?

Can anyone confirm that 3dsxl Mario Kart 7 bundle will guarantee get 4.5 or below?

cant confirm myself but a few must have been sold with Gateway in mind on amazon black friday here in the UK. I would think some of them went to tempers. I'm pretty sure the came with 4.5 or lower. Someone will confirm.

Talk about those 3dsxl bundles, are those bundles available for certain period of time? For instance Nintendo only manufactured certain bundle in 3 months for example, after that they'll no longer make certain bundle and start doing new bundle? If it's true then we've reason to believe that all Mario Kart 7 bundles will come with 4.5 or below.

Nov 2012 was europe release i think. Ninty would make so many then move on.

How about 3dsxl Mario 3D Land bundle? From what I heard it might comes with even older firmware, if this's the case can I flash it to 4.5 and play with gateway?

3ds xl mario land bundle came out Nov 2012 in the UK i would expect that to come with 4.5 or lower. 3ds mario land bundle came out Dec 2011 if new it will have an ancient firmware that you could update via one of the 4.5 firmware games listed in this thread. Bundles are the best way to find a 4.5 firmware device i think,

If it's helpful, I bought my 3DS XL from a Gamestop in Illinois about 2 weeks ago. It's Copyright 2012 and the numbers are SW1246. It came with firmware 4.4 and is the Blue/Black version. This thread or at least any lists you guys get compiled should definitely be added to the stickies.

Quickly remove all but the first 4 numbers of your serial!

So I'm selling my Limited Edition Pokemon X/Y Blue 3DS XL to someone in about 30 minutes. Does anyone know the Canadian serial codes for both the normal 3DS and the XL which would get me one with a firmware of 4.5 or below? Thanks.

EDIT: Actually, I'm going to update my Hacks thread soon and this info would be very helpful, so if you guys could figure out the right ones for all of the regions, I could list them and link it to this thread, and of course-it'd be freaking awesome!! Thanks.

    And bc most of the family guy budget is spent on the voice actors rather than on the animation
