I got a regular 3ds. It's midnight purple with serial number CW723xxx and the firmware is 4.4.0-10U . I live in the U.S.
I got mine from toys'rus. It's hard as hell to find the regular 3ds' with the proper firmware in the United States. The guy at in the electronics section said that nintendo is discontinuing the sales of those models in stores besides online. That only leaves 2ds and 3dsxl systems. Hope I was some help.THe back of the box said copyright 2012 as well.

I heard the same thing from a employee in target 3 months ago. It seems like Nintendo has found that either people want budget (2ds) or Large Screens (XL)
They can't drop support for the regular 3DS though, they don't want angry customers on their hands.
Yes og 3DS discontinued in US,even removed from Nintendo website.it's PS3 3.55 FW all over again
It's not strange at all. I just bought a midnight purple 3ds(not XL) with serial number CW7235 from toys'rus and it came with firmware 4.4.0-10! YAAY!
If they do drop support then it would be an outrage. I can't see how there isn't a demand for regular 3ds' when obviously there is. Maybe they are trying to force sales of the 2ds on people.
Ok well I was just going off the wiki for finding 4.x consoles, the advice there states the cut off was around cw12xxxx
But I suppose the standard 3ds was out a lot longer than the XL so it stands to reason there would be a lot more standards produced with 4.x or below than with the XL's
yes since it had come out in 2011 and that's at least close to 3 years give or take worth of 3ds(not xl) that they have still left in the wild of some stores. Try toys'rus if you are looking for one i definitely can confirm that serial number and color model has at least 4.4 on it.
well i have a few 4.x consoles so i'm ok, but i just edited the wiki to show the higher serial limit.....hopefully it will put someone elses mind at rest when looking for a 4.x console
Cool. That will definitely help. I wasn't all that sure before buying either when i saw there wasn't much information on the serial i had but once i got home and tested it out it said 4.4.0-10U so there you go. Hopefully this well help any who are looking. They are hard to find so to anyone else reading this try to get at least a midnight purple one. Other posts on this site stated that would be one of the eligible models.
All of them look to be 4.x assuming they are brand new but lowest would be most safest I.e suh101045xxxxx
....but really they should all be ok the lowest reported 4.x is SUx1035xxxxxxx so it should be safe to pick whatever colour you want from them

Still need to get on the hunt for a 3ds xl with 4.5 or lower. Anyone have tips in The Netherlands?
well to be fair i only picked them up as they where dirt cheap.....just 2 standard 3DS's one was £20 and one was £30 and i got mario land 3ds included with one of them........don't get me wrong i had planned to pick up a spare anyway, but i was waiting to get it super cheap, still hoping to pick up another XL at some point, and thanks to teensy i have 2 extra gateway cards to go with them
so i have a console for my GF and a "loaner" which i have lent my sister
I finally found a 4.4 firmware at a Wal-Mart on 5/30/14! My Gateway card is on it's way from dsflashcart (I got my dstwo card from them so I know that they are reliable). It should show up on Monday.
Where'd u get them at that pricewell to be fair i only picked them up as they where dirt cheap.....just 2 standard 3DS's one was £20 and one was £30 and i got mario land 3ds included with one of them........don't get me wrong i had planned to pick up a spare anyway, but i was waiting to get it super cheap, still hoping to pick up another XL at some point, and thanks to teensy i have 2 extra gateway cards to go with them

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
