Words cannot express how mad I was when I bought my 3dsxl and found out it didn't have one. I was about to make a rage thread but opted against it because I thought that people would simply assume that I was hating on Ninty.
I bought a white 3dsxl Mario Kart 7 bundle exactly a year ago from Amazon.co.uk as part of a Black Friday bunduru deal they had (I was lucky enough to get literally the last one). I was ecstatic to be able to play Pokemon after more than a decade until I found out that there was no freaking ac adapter. I found it beyond ridiculous and if it wasn't a huge hassle, I would have sent it back. I decided against it and had to travel to my local GAME (wasn't that close) to buy one for like £10.
I seriously think that such practices should be against the law. I literally cannot use the item that is sold to me unless I buy something extra. And it's not like I can use parts of it. As it is, it's useless. I get it with electronics that don't have batteries, but that's a specific adapter and unless you go to a store for video games, you simply can't use it at all. I'm just glad I didn't buy it and plan on going travelling the next day, because it would have been more infuriating.
Easily the most WTF moment of my entire gaming life.
ps. I didn't like the fact that the ps2 required a memory card, same with psvita, and that the ps3 didn't include an hdmi cable, but at least those things work without them until you buy the extra things you need.
