Cut your losses and get a N3DS.
The second option is right out! Unless you're perfectly fine with waiting fora millenniahalf a year or more, that is.
Anyhow, it depends if you're willing to spend the dosh. The first and second option is one thing, but to sell your own console? That's burning your bridges.
I would recommend you to buy a lower FW 3DS if you can't wait, a New 3DS if you can wait, and wait for the 9.4(?) update if you're really, REALLY willing, to wait fora millenniahalf a year or more.
Yea I was thinking of getting the New 3DS, wasn’t sure if I should import it or just wait for the UK release(Feb 13th with the risk of getting FW 9.3+?)
I just was kinda hoping Gateway would make a surprise 9.4 update with the NA/EU release of NN3DS lol
Right now i’m leaning towards keeping my current 9.4(for future update) and importing the JP NN3DSXL.










I remember getting my SNES new with super mario world and it still works!
