They're street-dated in WM's computer system and can't be purchased should anybody try to get excited about this.

The OP's girlfriend bought one apparently.

edit: I think it may take just getting the right cashier that doesn't give a crap and just cancels through the prompt to ring it up anyway.

Must not care about her job that much then. Used to work there and people would get fired for less than that. :P

Read it again this time more carefully, there is lots of news about the new 3ds.

There is even some news about Gateway if you are interested.

I call BS on this one. All we have is pic of them locked up. GF can't open it and check firmware becuase it is a gift. No pic of it sitting on the couch or kitchen counter, nothing. I could do the same damn thing.
 
I know this has already been said in less words by other people, but humor me anyway:

I'm inclined to believe that the video the Gateway team made is real. I don't understand how it could be faked without an entirely unreasonable level of effort. Garyopa and SonyUSA's confirmations of the video's authenticity are further reassuring.

But that video was released three months ago. Three. What the heck could possibly be going on?

Are they worried about consoles being accidentally bricked? Then why haven't come out and told us?
Are there bugs with games that use Miis? Then why haven't they told us?
Are they waiting for the New 3DS to be released in North America for some strange reason? Then why haven't they told us?
Did they run into some kind of brick wall that makes the exploit they found effectively useless? Again, then why haven't they freaking told us?

Others in this thread have said that this lack of communication on future updates is par of the course for Gateway. I wouldn't know—I only purchased one recently—but regardless, it's still astounding. I literally cannot think of any other company that has been this silent about a feature that was supposedly right around the corner. Perhaps Valve, but even that's stretching it.

I'm not asking for a beta. I'm not even asking for a release date. Don't get me wrong, either of those things would be great, but what I dislike most is being kept in dark for seemingly no reason whatsoever.

And I don't even want to freaking pirate anything! I just want to have some idea of when I'll be able to play my North American games on the normal sized New 3DS that I've imported from Europe. Why is it so hard for them to give us a freaking timeframe? Posting a short update on their blog should not require that much effort.

I think GW's not gonna admit these things because it looks bad on them. Leaving customers in the dark is better than admitting something bad i guess

Maybe that is what Gateway thinks, but I do not agree at all.

As much as I suspect that there's some Astroturfing going on with Sky3DS, you can understand why they're taking advantage of the situation. The longer Gateway stays silent, the more people are going to doubt whether an update is coming at all, and the more people with decide to buy competing flashcarts. If Gateway actually kept us informed, this would be much less of an issue.
 
I think the other factor is that whenever Gateway says they can't do something, everyone freaks out over it and comes up with these conspiracy theories and whatnot over it. Look at what happened with the 9.5 thing.

I didn't freak out when GW said they can't do 9.5. I was actually kinda glad, because hopefully GW can release n3ds support faster, instead of spending another half year working on 9.5. They should just release in chunks rather than make us wait months and release one big thing
 
Microsoft has yet to re-implement "play chat audio through headset AND speakers" on the Xbox One and it's been one of the top voted feedback suggestions on their forum. How is that for lack of communication and updates? :P
