How is the 3D effect like on the system menu? When I first boot up the system and look at the menu with the slider off and turn it up will I see a difference? I'm not getting any games at launch so I'm depending on the AR games and the system itself to show off the 3D, will I be disappointed? Can't wait till Midnight tomorrow x_x

Definitely. Put on an application, press home and then click on another one, nice layering effect there.

There is a MASSIVE difference

There are also a few nice little Easter Eggs with the 3DS. The Home menu responds to sound - try blowing into the microphone or putting some music on and you'll see the icons vibrating. There are 5 different Easter Eggs as far as I remember, read it on the CVG site a few days ago.

Edit: Details here.

Yeah, I read this article a few days ago and thought I'd try them all out, and yes, they do work! 

The spinning logos is probably my favourite, because the 3D effect can be seen oh so clearly there that it's a better demo for the hardware than any other game I can think of...

 

@Shadowfest- Thanks! It's a shame you can't pick it up, but if you're planning on getting one in the future, I'd say it'd be best to declare your intent now. I know in the UK that Game (or Gamestation? Somewhere like that) are allowing you to pre-order your 3DS from different shipments, so for June, August etc. That way, you can be assured to get one, because every single 3DS was sold out just 10 hours after launch over here
