I gotta say, I have never in my entire life tried to order hot cakes only to find that they were sold out.   ;D

I did once try to order the Big Breakfast at McDonald's and was told "Sorry, we are no longer selling hot cakes."

Was it at 10:31? They told me that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- the other day. Who the hell wants to eat a big mac before noon? Jesus. So I said fine screw you golden arches, Im going to Jack In the Box, full menu 24 hours a day. Breakfast jacks dont hit the spot though like egg mcmuffins though.  :P
Pictures are overrated anyway.

I just put in my pre-order for 3DS at Gamestop.  I'm actually looking forward to it.  I jumped on board with the DS the day they were released, picked up 2 of them, as well as the PSP.  The PSP was priced at the same exact price point 6 years ago that the 3DS is.  While I've gotten enjoyment from my PSP over the years, the DS's were almost immediately worth the price in enjoyment.  I figure if I can get even half the enjoyment that we've gotten from our current 4 DSi's then the 3DS is going to be well worth the price.  

My son's DS is starting to die, but after several years of abuse and heavy gameplay it's time to upgrade his.  I'm going to get the 3DS and pass my XL down to him.  So, killing two birds with one stone. :D

BTW - they already have flashcarts and DS/DSi backups working in DS/DSi mode.

I just read somewhere that the 3ds still plays those r4 cartridges! lol

the good part is that maybe that'll lead to great homebrew from the get go

I preordered a Nintendo 3ds with Amazon.com on the first day will let you know if I get mine. My question to you all who reserved is.. will you be selling it if we get another Wii situation?

I have had one preordered for awhile and that thought has crossed my mind. I think theres a good chance at a wii situation with less than 2 million being launched in the us along with it being glasses free 3-D. I would do it if I could afford to buy a spare one but I wont sell myown. I missed out on the original ds line so i'm looking forward to alot of those games along with the new 3d stuff.
