So, with E3 looming I'm wondering if now is a safe time to get a 3DS XL or not. Do we have any clue if Nintendo might introduce new models? Price cuts?
Is now a safe time to buy a 3DS XL?
I'm gonna just go ahead and do it. I doubt they'll do new hardware and can't see a price drop honestly. Plus I wanna replace my OG 3DS pretty bad.
@raven_sword: Wait a week. Then buy it from a store with a 30 day return policy. You'll know by the end of E3 if you need to return it.
You're always going to be taking a gamble. Nintendo put a lot of mimic 3DS's out into the wild. It's never safe to get one, you could lose a hand.
Get a 3DS it is awesome!
So, the 3DSXL I picked up had a crooked screen :/ at least it looks like the top screen is slanted to me. So I'm gonna return it and just see what E3 has, if anything.
Is slanted top screens a known problem?
I think it's safe now. Anthrax hasn't been found in a 3DS XL in months.
There are rumours of new Nintento hardware at E3 though.
@raven_sword: not this again...
Does all hardware you buy have some fault to it?
(To answer the actual original post, you might as well wait until e3 is done. I think if any 3DS gets revised it would be the original, but you never know.)
@mb: ha ha , nah, this was legit. Also, changed my mind anyway cause I wanted to see what E3 had.
No, this is legit. Had a similar issue with my OG 3DS. Took 2 returns to Nintendo to get a good one. I don't know if it's Nintendo just sucking with build quality or what, but I know I'm not seeing things I don't think.
The 2DS just came out last fall so I can't imagine new handheld hardware or a price drop at E3. Nintendo might announce a 3DS bundle with Smash Bros. but I don't know if it will be for 2DS or the XL.
@raven_sword: not this again...
Now I'm curious to know what other items he's purchased that have been defective.
@liquidprince: only thing that comes to mind we're two originally 3DS's that had the same screen problem and a vizio tv that had a big green line on the side.
Again, really think it's just Nintendo build quality sucking considering I went through that screen thing two times before and there some posts online of other having something similar.
