i picked it up and the 3d is pretty amazing without glasses for a handheld device, too bad the battery life kinda sux. went to futureshop on robson for the launch to pickup the preorder starter kit. + they were giving out a free hard case for the 3ds so wasn't too bad. the price is a bit expensive ya, but you know ppl will still fork out the money for it.. just coz it's nintendo.. kinda like apple products lol... and at least nintendo is forcing the competitor to up their products ~ so in some way i support nintendo
