So I just called GameStop to ask if it was possible to do a system transfer from your old 3DS when you trade it in for the New 3DS and the guy basically told me no. He said that the promotion is not likely to extend all the way to the release of the New 3DS on February 13, so you'd have to bring your old 3DS to the store before you actually get the New 3DS. He said there is a chance that the promotion could extend that long, but didn't know for sure. This is such a joke. It'd be like when you upgrade to a new cell phone, you weren't allowed to transfer all your contacts over to the new phone. Why would anyone do this? I purchase all my games through the eShop, so if I couldn't do a system transfer I'd lose everything. I just can't understand if GameStop didn't fully think this promotion through, or if they're intentionally trying to screw people over. Either way it's BS.
