    Will the DS games still have that annoying border like they had on the original 3DS?

    They can still be displayed at their original resolution, or full screen. Full screen apparently looks better than it does on the current 3DS.

    Quick question. You know how DSi specific games are region locked, are they still region locked on the 3DS? I know, dumn question, but I just got to wondering on it.

    Yes they are.
    Furthermore, all current 3DS games are region-locked too.

    Preordered a red/black 3DS XL from Zavvi which is currently £167.95. Looking foward to it now there's actually a couple of games for the system I will care about. Cannot get enough of Mario platformers.

    I assume when everyone is saying you could use an adaptor from a DSi, DSi XL or 3DS, that means the adaptor I got with my old DS phat would be no good?

    only charger thats is suitable for DS-Lite/DSI/DSI XL or 3DS are compatible for 3ds XL,

    the generation one DS has different path connector port charger are different compare to DS-Lite/DSI/DSI XL or 3DS port,

    Like I said, its the principle of having no charger thats annoying. Its like how was it in the previous console gens, when you'd get a new console, bring it home, and find out you couldn't carry on your games cos you didn't think of buying a memory card :mad:

    How rigorously do they test the functionality of trade-ins?
    Not that I'm planning anything...

    Not that vigorously, if memory serves.

    How does it work exactly? I trade my 3DS in now, and they put 120 on a card or something?

    Ok just to put GameStop trade in confusion to bed

    IF you trade a 3ds and a chosen game from a specific list the 3ds xl will cost you 99

    IF you trade a 3 ds on its own without a game the console will cost you 129 euro confirmed this morning from GameStop Naas!!!

    Your ten deposit only holds a console for you after that you decide on day which u want to go for deal wise

    Why, did you drop it in the toilet or something? Good plan, though.
