Ashley Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I walked past earlier (around 6pm) and saw nobody outside but whether it will start inside and then move outside I don't know. There were earlier reports of people turning up.
nekunando Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Screw you, Sprout.. ..oh, and I see you got a 3DS today
Mike Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 From NeoGAF: So I called Tesco. They confirmed that we definitely will not receive the 3DS tomorrow as the tracking number isn't available yet. It should be available tomorrow, when the items are actually despatched. So if anyone is hanging around tomorrow, it'll be Friday when it arrives. Shame. But at least I know not to get my hopes up tomorrow.

James McGeachie Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Just saw some report at NeoGAF where Hideki Kanno was saying Nintendo wont make games that "require" 3D to play so they're not alienating people who cant see it. It sucks though, they shouldnt shy away from gameplay concepts because some people cant play them. People with only one hand cant play much. People with severe colour vision defects would have difficulty with a lot of colour puzzles in games, etc. I was kind of hoping Nintendo would find ways to make the 3D really matter, like make game design around having depth, but if they're taking this stance then I doubt it'll happen, it'll just be a visual gimmick all along.

I hear it only accepts it post midnight...or so Dyson tells me.

Or arguably, on the flip side, they are making developers implement the 3D but not rely on it to sell the game.
Cube Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 3D is entirely optional. Cubic Ninja doesn't have 3D.
Aneres11 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I am currently in bed and have just woke up... Just checked on laptop the tracking of my order and it says 'DELIVERED'. Think I am going to run downstairs right now...
ShadowV7 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I am currently in bed and have just woke up...Just checked on laptop the tracking of my order and it says 'DELIVERED'. Think I am going to run downstairs right now... I think you should. Run my friend. RUN!!!
Aneres11 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Its here!!!! Nearly fell down the stairs. Then i couldnt see it anywhere. Mum thought it'd be funny to hide the parcel. Dont think i've ripped a package open so quickly!
Aneres11 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I have just had it on - and done the system set up - time date etc. This was my first experience with the 3ds - I had previously not seen one in action. All I can say about the 3d is oh my god. Incredible. The main menu was just amazing in 3d. Need to sort a mii out once i've done something with my hair coz bed headed mii is not the way forward... lol. I hope everyone else who pre-ordered gets there's today. And yeah my mum hiding it was kinda funny. Not at the time though. Sorted that out with a quick backhand. Wont happen again. Joke lol.
Debug Mode Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I've woken up with one of those headaches you can tell is going to linger all day.. I think I'm going to be cautious and not use too much of the 3D setting when I get mine tonight if that turns out to be the case
Aneres11 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Shopto? Shopto continue to be FTW. Shopto indeed. Gotta love them.
dazzybee Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Gutted. Inwas with shopto then changed to game to get the points... I'd rather have got it today!!!
Retro_Link Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Well I've had a delivery from TNT!! It's been left with the neighbours, should get it soon!
ShadowV7 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Well I've had a delivery from TNT!! It's been left with the neighbours, should get it soon! z-o-m-g. Get it now bitch. *Looks at window* I don't wanna go out today now ._.
S.C.G Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I hate to throw a negative in here but to anyone who get a 3DS early, please let us know if there are any dead pixels on either of the screens, I remember this being a problem with every iteration of the DS thus far and am just hoping that I can go to pick my 3DS up from Game tomorrow without fear of there being one of these eyesores in the middle of the screen. Thanks... Personally I think it looks like they've improved the quality of the screens but I'm just kind of expecting the worst... :p I've yet to make it out of the door first-time with a DS console that I've paid for that doesn't have a dead pixel issue, this is why every time I've bought one there, I haven't left the store without checking the system over and I would advise anyone else buying in-store to do the same. Just a precaution but I thought I'd put it out there just in case. : peace:
Serebii Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Gutted. Inwas with shopto then changed to game to get the points... I'd rather have got it today!!! Indeed. I'm gutted
Retro_Link Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 z-o-m-g. Get it now bitch. *Looks at window* I don't wanna go out today now ._. It had better be the 3DS and not just a game! Dunno where the neighbour is, I saw him 30mins ago before I went out, and both his cars are there, he's always around!

Just a precaution but I thought I'd put it out there just in case. : peace: On this subject, what's the protocol for this. Do you simply open the box while their tilling everything up and boot up the console? Do you ask to check it? My DSs were imported (US Phat and Japanese Ice Blue DS lite) and second hand UK ones with no know problems so it's not something I've had to check when buying a handheld. Anyway, for those that have their consoles today, have fun. My money finally found its way into my bank account this morning so I'll be picking mine up tomorrow morning at 8am. Sucks I have to leave for Uni at 10 though.

Dunno where the neighbour is, I saw him 30mins ago before I went out, and both his cars are there, he's always around! Smash his windows, it's for a good cause Find him, he's stealing your 3DS!! (hopefully it's 3DS)
Serebii Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Come on Parcel Force. Surprise me. Ignore GAME's restrictions. Give it to me now and I'll give you a shiny Bidoof!
bryanee Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) I love you shopto I've had a quick go of Ridge Racer and oh my is it good, its glorious and Pilotwings is great aswell and I'm convinced 3D can do alot for gameplay aswell as visually. The depth in that game makes judging distances to targets and landing pads so much better. I havent had any issues with the sweet spot either. I'm so suprised at how small this thing is I dont see anyway they can make it smaller I think we'll get an XL version in the future and not a Lite version. I'll put up more pics tomorow when my internet is back but first impressions are orgasmic. Edited March 24, 2011 by bryanee
