Love mine too, even if I use it has a DS...
NEVER has a Nintendo handled been so subject to criticism : not region free (and yeah, I played a LOT of japanese / usa games on DS), battery is a mess and it still doesnt have any real game... and it's expensive too.
And to ad to that, most people can't/ don't make a difference with original DS : the look is too close, and most sites would just ad 3DS as a sub-category of DS. If I look for 3DS games / info, either I found DS and 3DS infos melte... where s the visibility in that ???
Neither Wii nor PS3, altough compatible with GC and PS2 got that bad of a treatment !
3DS deserves more love.
