Traded Ridge Racer for Pilotwings from a friend today to try and stop the boredom. Will post opinions in a few hours (apparently that's all it takes to complete it)

I've really enjoyed just tinkering around with my 3DS. I really like the street pass aspects as well, especially the plaza where you can collect people's Mii's and play the puzzle swap and quest mini-game thingy that is dependent on getting new Mii's or earning coins from walking. It's kinda neat. I've been taking it everywhere and so far, and just from mostly going to Uni and back I've met five total strangers (One of them twice even) and it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside when that happens :D

Sadly though, the charger for my 3DS seems to be broken. It's not actually charging when plugged in, regardless of whether it's direct or through the docking station. So I'm gonna have to go back to the shop and see if I can get a replacement plug. I really don't want to replace my whole 3DS though, which is what my house mate seems to think will happen :O

I don't think they'll give you the plug alone eider. If I am not wrong, I think they'll give a completely new one.

Yeah going back to the store they'll probably replace the whole thing. May be better off contacting Nintendo.

I just plugged it in again actually and it's working, so that's weird.

I'll see if it does it again. I really don't want to have to replace my whole 3DS :P

Got rid of mine today, absolute joke of a system. It doesn't matter how nice it is to hold or how well the buttons work if there's no god damned games for it.

£200 cash from GAME, meaning I only lost out on £20. Could be worse

That's why im waiting till I get one. Im sure in a year or so they'll be a few alright games on it but at the moment they all look like 5 minute distraction games to me. At least you got a fair price for it, could've been worse.

The biggest problem with 3DS's is that they're not all Goku colour.

^Ewww... Never thought Nintendo doesn't have a sense of color. I mean, who uses Purple, Orange and Green at once? These colors just don't mix at all.
It looks like Nintendo has dissembled used body parts of old DSs and made the 3DS and didn't give a damn an what color it was.

Eva Unit-01 obviously uses those colours. These aren't official colours (sadly) they're custom paint jobs you can get for your 3DS.
