Haha yeah I have OCD with that too. Everything has to be perfect when I unpack it and put the 'remains' back in the box for storage. Charging it completely before turning it on for the first time is just the next stage

Here is mine:
Loving it so far. The 3D is impressive, but I think the 3D on the menus is probably the most easily visible stuff. Splinter Cell is kind of hard to keep in focus, maybe I need to adjust the slider a bit on that one. I keep it quite low on Pilotwings and it gives a great effect.
The Video from the system update also has good 3D effects, especially the water hitting the hands.

From what I've played, its quite good. I heard its a remake of Chaos Theory (never played it, heard its the best in the series?). It seems to run quite well, I mean I didn't notice slow down or anything (but then I didn't try 2D).
The aiming is weird though. You use ABXY to control the aim/camera, and it will take some getting used to, and it'll probably hinder making fast shots in a crowded room, but then I suppose that isn't REALLY how you should be playing, right? I can't make judgement on whether its worth getting yet, but it cost me £10 with my 3DS (Tesco Entertainment, and I cancelled an order with them to order it with a game for a Tenner, and was then emailed a code for redemption of a game @ £10 for the first 3DS I'd cancelled a few short hours earlier, LOL), so I am not too bothered if it turns out ****, but it plays well. It's a lot like Conviction with the massive text on walls and stuff, I'd imagine its quirks aside its probably worth a play.

Yeah that's kinda puzzling, for Nintendo to fit the 3DS with an analogue stick of sorts and then for Ubisoft to completely ignore it and use a digital control method for aiming, despite the console having several analogue input methods. Smacks of lazy development and planning imo.
Well, just been playing on mine for the past couple of hours. I got SSF4 and PES 2011.
I have to say that SSF4 looks fantastic on this. It does take some time to get used to playing on the 3DS as I am used to use an arcade stick. The 3D is great on this.
PES 2011 looks good on this but I find I have to turn the 3D off. Maybe I need to play a little with the slider. I am finding it a challenge to play but that is probably because I normally play FIFA on the Xbox but I am enjoying it.

Nope, no option to do it, and not likely to be patchable, so stuck with this. Here is the options menu for you guys:
Then The camera Option
And the sensitivity option:
And finally what the touch screen is used for since we've established it isn't aim:
Guns/weapons/accesories work like toggles. Middle between the 2 headgear options (top 2 corners) is whistle, left of that is the map. The bottom, where it says save is context sensitive so changes to open door, open door stealth, break door, pick lock the works, the left arrow on that scrolls through that list (as far as I can tell cannot just *touch* the option you want, and right arrow bit chooses and activates command.
Like I said some quirks...
Well I read PES has some of the best 3D effects as far as spacial awareness goes since you really feel where you are on the pitch, but then I suppose it zips about a bit quick? I dunno, I am with ya though, I can easily see myself turning off 3D mode every now and then. Not yet, still loving it, but it will wear off after a while. I mean for games where it seems to have little impact I could easily see turning it off.
Yeah I pre-ordered it assuming touch screen aim (ala Metroid, CoD etc on DS, since it worked well minus a little hand cramp after long periods, but hey since the 3DS gives headaches after long periods they kinda go hand in eye?), but it still kinda works. So far (playing "Hard" I haven't encountered a situation where I needed a quick aim, but I am trying to be stealthy as the game is kinda designed for, but there could be a section which might become difficult because of the aim, I mean it is very 1996...
Currently have one in my basket on Amazon....
Can't make my mind up. I'd love one, but the battery life puts me off and I'd like a different colour to the blue one.
Also, bit put off by the poor quality of older DS games, but I do have a DSi and DS lite.

Just got back from tesco to get mine, and came back empty handed 
i pre orderd in jan the price was 197. I get there this morning they have a offer its 3ds for 175 when you buy any game. good deal i think. anyway get it scanned the console was 249 and the game was 34.90
On the checkout screen it even says the deal but it wouldnt do it. I got a manager called and told her about the offer, and all she said was im not going to take that much off, you will have to come back later in the morning. She didnt even bother to go and check the display for the P.O.S.

YThe player cam just keeps spinning around, you almost have no idea where you are going. I have switched to wide view. The 3D view does make you want to watch replays though
Well I got my 3DS and SSFIV game from Tesco Entertainment. The deal worked out that I got the game for £10. On my receipt that came in the package I have been charged £34 for the game
Will have to check my credit card statement and get this sorted
I got my 3DS yesterday and I'm surprised how good it is. The screen is a lot clearer and vibrant than I thought it was going to be. Also the build quality seems really good, I'd heard that it felt cheap, but I don't think it does and the Black Version I have looks pretty nice and not toy like.
I got Pilot wings, Ridge Racer, Steet Fighter and Rayman and all are pretty good. I love Ridge Racer games and the 3D works really well with it.
