Seems like Best Buy has the $20 card ready, also Target broke the street date for the Wii selects titles, Zelda, mario Sluggers and Wii Sports for $20

Can you even buy anything yet on the 3DS? I'm starting to think Nintendo should have launched at a later date so it had everything up and running day 1 with more software.

The card says that can only be used after the NIntendo eShop is avalible.

Hopefully this means it launches soon.

I thought Nintendo said a system update that activates the internet browser and eShop channel was planned for "late May"?

According to the Nintendo homepage the big update will come on June 7.

Still so far away! :(

Wait... what? I am really disappointed on that one... Not only Nintendo launch the 3DS with unfinish features (shops, internet browser, send message to friends...) but they delay them again...

After don't be surprise if the sales of the 3DS are low.

That's the same day for their E3 conference. Looks more like a marketing move than a scheduled update.

Yes, maybe, i haven't realize it's the same date.

By the way, still waiting for my internet browser... even more when it was first said to be for the western launch of the 3DS...

Although I understand that it's probably a marketing move, I'm still disappointed that it's so late. When I saw the link on the Nintendo homepage I thought it would read like "update is available now"...

But it's still almost a month away. :/
