I'm pretty sure I will, but just later
Camping out at a Toys R Us to get mine. :p
I don't entirely trust Gamestop with per-orders, and I had gotten my Wii at the same Toys R Us.
Still need to demo one before I buy. If I do buy, it'll probably be this summer after Ocarina 3D and some other games come out. The launch lineup doesn't really have anything I'm interested in.
Best buy, wish I could get both colors! lol ;P
Nope. Don't have the money…I do have about $60 saved up, but I've still got aways to go. ._.
Nope. Nothing too exciting for me. The NGP however…
Definitely the most fun thing on my "to do this weekend" list!
I will buy but not now. Probably on Holidays season when more games are out…and I need to try it out first to check the 3D illusion…
Nope. I love my DSi XL… Not sure I want to go back to small screens…
Nope… just got a red Super Mario Anniversary DSi XL in the last Holidays! I'll get the 3DS in the NEXT Holidays! By then I'm sure it will be really easy to figure out which of the games will be worth shelling out $40… and maybe they will even be a LOT less by then!
Best Buy all ready bought! Boo-Yah!
Got mine preordered at Gamestop and have it all paid!! Can't wait!! Because i live in a smaller town though, they wont have midnight launch at my local gamestop 🙁 gotta wait til 8 am to pick it up.
I voted yes, although technically the Nintendo 3DS isn't coming out this week – it's coming out next week.
All too often we forget that Sunday is the FIRST day of the week, not the last! ^_^
No, I had to cancel my preorder 🙁
i think i actually pre-ordered it about 3 months ago… so stupid of me because i missed out on some good deals 🙁
but im still excited for it 🙂
preordered. pick up on sunday with steel diver, pilotwings, sf4, and samurai warriors.
wow, i'm surprised by the comments so far. well, in any case, i tried the thing at pax, and i was thoroughly impressed. this thing is gonna be crazy. its definitely gonna be a hard buy for quite some time if you didn't already preorder.
Got mine at pre-order at Future Shop! Can't wait!!
Yeah I am, looking forward to it somewhat, even though it's pretty lackluster launch.
ABSOLUTELY!!! The bad news…? I am in Afghanistan, so my wife has to ship it to me, which could take anywhere from ten days to two months (mail's a little spotty here)….:(
@JG – Can't you have both? I plan to have the NGP when it launches, but that's nearly (approximately) 8 months away…..
Side note: By the comments, you wouldn't guess most people were actually voting yes….huh….
Alas, not this week. Financial limits as well as the lack of interesting games are keeping me. It's a certain purchase, but just not now. When I've saved up more cash, it's my birthday and the summer vacation's coming… say, June… that's when I'll strike.
This friday…I own a 3DS.
That thought gives me sweet dreams 🙂
There isn't any games I would want too play.
I have it pre-ordered and fully paid for with Street Fighter as well… but even still… I'm not 100% certain I'll be picking it up this weekend. I need to try it before I buy.. I need to experience the 3D before completing the purchase.
Good thing I'm going to Best Buy to try it out this Saturday… that'll be the big day! And even better, if I like it and want it, I'll only have to wait until the next day to pick it up!
If I don't like it, the money goes back into my pocket and I'll put it towards something else. 🙂
I preordered it, so technically yes, but it's for my 11-year-old niece, not myself. I'll be picking one up before Ocarina 3D, but I had to choose between a 3DS for myself and a new, similarly priced (but 2D) Android phone, and the phone won. I guess it'd be hard for me to argue that Nintendo's not facing much competition from smartphones at this point.
@RisnDevil
I may very well end up with both an NGP and 3DS; but for now the NGP is more exciting to me even if it's a looong 8 months away.
I wish both portables luck though..
Definately am. Got mine preordered and fully paid at gamestop. I want to try the demo of it this Saturday at gamestop. I expect to be blown away and my jaw drop to the floor. It will be hard to wait until the next day to get it. I have Nintendogs + Cats and street fighter 4 3D edition preordered as well . Just five more days! 🙂
I tried the demo station at my local Best Buy… it was so amazing that I preordered it on the spot! I've got a plane trip this Sunday, so I'll be picking it up before I leave. ^_^
Going to wait a few weeks. It will be a Grad School graduation gift to myself, unless I can talk my wife into getting it for me. With SSF4 and Pilotwings.
