i purchased a 3DS around Christmas, and i was utterly dissapointed by the Device.

Not because of the games or anything, but because of the fucking cheap manufacturing. i had like 3 3DS' ('ses..?) in a very short period, all of them had a problem or two... but while i'd actually oil squeaky buttons that rub against the case while pressing, the thing that really pissed me off was the fact that 2 of those 3 had a loose hinge...

...and not just a little loose, but extremely loose. i thought that i might just be FUCKING unlucky, but i've let the guys in multiple Stores show me the 3DSses that were there unboxed, sitting behind glas - and around 50-60% had those awful hinges. and while you could probably beat into my mind that those need to wobble a bit to not allow them to break at one point, i dont understand the damn inconsistency that exists here. (plus, hinges will get even more loose once youve had the system for 2-3 years, meaning that, while the hinge probably wont break, you wont be able to lock the upperscreen into place anymore, meaning that you'd need to glue it into one position or something..)... plusplus the hinges from my notebook are insanely small, and they still do their job perfectly, carrying much more weight than the 3ds.

::::

but long story short, the 3DS XL seems to have only one, huge hinge or some shit, and it appears to look pretty healthy to me... and if they dont fuck the device up somehow (i'll definetly let employee's in store show me their promotional devices in order to look for any miss-manufacturing..).. i might just give the company i gave up on a final chance, for they make awesome games.

edit: oh and just FYI, i sold the third 3DS in order to buy a PSP or some shit with some shitty games... and i am pretty shocked by the fact that its just so much more High-Quality.. (though most of the games suck, ... except for the insane amount of RPGs.. lucky me that i am so much into said genre.. )
