What I imagine tomorrow/later today will look like:

And while waiting patiently for the update I just noticed I have a stuck/dead pixel on top left corner of my screen no my new 3ds xl :S.
I can only see it when the screen is black in that area, like when 3ds is booting. I cannot see it during game play even if I try to so I guess I won't bother with it cause I don't want to go through all the mess of returning it and waiting for a replacement or repair... I read on the net that it is not very uncommon for 3ds to have dead pixel.

That sucks. I had one on my Zelda Old XL and it would fix itself at times. It wasn't really that noticable, so I left it as it was. Did you buy it at a retailer? surely you could exchange for a new one? Any fix that takes longer than that imo would be a waste for such a problem

It doesn't affect me during game play. In fact I have been using it 3 days now and I just noticed it while the 3ds was booting. If it stays like this I don't mind at all. I tried some videos on youtube that are supposed to fix stuck pixels by flashing the screen with different colors rapidly but it didn't fix it. Maybe I have to leave it for a while on the video. I only let it for 10 min.
Also the strange thing is that it is visible only when black or almost black color is around it. I paused the video on blue, on red and on green screens and I couldn't even see it where it was :S

Ye, I doubt it will get worse at all. I had the exact same issue, and sometimes it would get better on it's own for a few days to weeks. Your call, either way, you'll be fine, I believe

won't happen, give up the hype.
gary knows jack and gw need more testing.
or something.

yes, give the hype up and go buy the sky3ds

Not in all browsers though; Alt+D is more consistent.

There's no doubt that the release will be within the next couple of days, I mean, it is kind of the perfect time for a release. So I doubt it takes much longer than the end of the countdown, I just think it's going to be INCREDIBLY stupid when people rage the instant that countdown hits 0 when its a stupid unofficial countdown that means LITERALLY nothing. When garyopa said 72 hours he most likely didn't mean exactly 72 hours, he meant a few days which is pretty vague. Makes me think the release will be between 72 and 96, but certainly not AT 72 hours.

there is doubt, why else would you still see bickering noobies in here still trying to derail someones post stating it will be "72 hrs" before release. As soon as that member made that post we had more noobies join in stating the "Soon". Come on now,

Yeah. As I said I cannot see it when I play. Maybe some times when this part of the screen is black but even then it is like 2mm from the top left corner. So I never even look at that area of the screen
If it was on the middle of the screen maybe it would bother me but still since I cannot see it during game play I don't care. I just wish I didn't even have noticed it

I played around with the microSD Management yesterday evening and somehow this times my plan worked. So if you don't feel confortable connecting your new 3DS to the internet you can do the following:

-Grab your Android phone
-Turn off Wifi and Mobile connections
-Set up Tethering
-Connect PC to the mobiles network and double check that your not online
-Connect your new 3DS to your mobiles network
-Search your 3DS in "Network" on your Windows 7/8 PC and copy your data

This way you can copy all your cias and (hopefully today) gateway's new launcher.dat on your microSD without need of a screwdriver and without fear of accidental update/update nag.

I could tolerate 1-2 dead pixels in an inconspicuous part of the screen, but a hot pixel would be an instant return for me. Nintendo has really let the bar drop on their quality control. I think even disposable cell phones are held up to higher standards. I've never even seen a hot pixel outside of cheap digital cameras.

It's Sunday and I see no update

DAMMIT

Let say today Gateway team release the support for new3ds, this mean that I could dump my own games without buying a Gateway?

Your Sunday != Everyone else's Sunday. It's only just barely Sunday here. Either way, this is the countdown from when he made the post: http://itsalmo.st/#gatewaytime_qf2xm

I know I just enjoy having fun. I'm setting up emunand for a friend atm and I'm bored as hell so I figured I would drop in here and mess about

edit: to be quite honest I don't believe that countdown one bit, hopefully I get proven wrong but......
