Looks like they fine folks across the pond are excited for the 3DS!
Any of our UK readers pre-order one?

I guess the UK didn’t hear that 3D is just a gimmick

I pre-ordered mine a few weeks back (Sainsburys!)
I was just going to leave it to chance and pick one up on the day like I did with the Gamecube and DS launches but then I thought back to the horrific day when the Wii launched and the subsequent Wii drought and decided to pre-order one just in case.
I'm going to pick up Pilotwings on launch day and maybe Streetfighter, Ridge Racer or Monkey Ball depending on how flush I'm feeling.
To be honest I would be surprised if it was a day 1 sellout. Its basically going to be £200 ($310+) and aside from a few pitchside adverts on some televised football matched I have yet to see any advertising. Lots of people will have no idea about just how great this thing looks and your average punter probably doesn't even know about the 3d screen. The claims of massive pre-orders seem a little surprising to me…
Yup preordered one on Jan 19th from Amazon. Still really exited, there's gonna be some great games on this system 3D or no 3D and I'm gonna be there, from day 1.
i only preorded cause my mate did and i didnt wanna be left out lol.
getting mine from shopto.net =)
I'm from the UK; I don't know That many people who're interested to be honest 😛
I'm waiting till Zelda: OOT3D comes out before I invest in one.
Republic of Ireland here. I pre-ordered mine in Game, they said there'd been a lot of interest, they're down to their last few for pre-orders.
London calling here. Saw the 3DS at HMV! Was a total dork about it: I said "OMG it really works!" like every other doofus, before saying, "well, I knew it would, but WOW, it really does work!".
Anyway, I've progressed through 3 different preorders looking for a better deal as the retailers are having a pre-price war down from rip-off Britain gone mad, towards something North of reasonable. First was Zavvi, then Asda, and now a play.com bundle.
