Son on nintendos website it lists a loose top screen as a flaw that can be fixed with the warranty. I guess I'll be doing that. Probably in a week or two seeing as how I wanna play it and maybe beat a game or two before losing it for about a week. I suggest you guys check it out
is it me or is there manyl azy people ,why is it the first time some one has a problem with a new item they do not call nintendo ,
seriously or return and exchange to the store, its alot easier then waiting for an answer which we all know we cant help ya with it ,
and no mine is 100 percent perfect , the only problem i can report is having a hard time getting a strap through the hole lol ,
aside from that 3ds is awsome , if you dont got one now , wait until the next batch or risk it , it s well worth it , if worst comes to worst you get i think a yr warranty on it plus if you register your unit you get 90 bonus days ,
Is this really worth getting fixed? I figured this was just natural seeing as the top screen is larger then the rest of the system.
Doesn't seem any different than any other DS I've owned.
The nitpicking of this system is incredible so far.

I suspect that's referring to a different sort of flaw where the top won't stay in position (as in it flops closed on you while you're playing) and not that it wobbles slightly but is otherwise held firmly in place.
Alright So I read a post from someone who called Nintendo and they said if it wobbles the hinges are less likely to crack. So even the tighter ones will eventually start to wobble or crack. Guess it aint so bad anymore haha
When people say wobble, do you mean just tilting the console a bit makes it wobble? Because mine doesn't move when tilting, but if I shake it it wobbles, my advice, don't freaking shake it.bobbetyboblol This was my first thought. It is a little disconcerting to hear of such issues though. Ninty's products usually have fantastic build quality so this makes me worry.(I have yet to purchase a 3DS)

You're right; they are referring to a different problem. According the Nintendo's site your unit hinge have a problem if: 1. It doesn't stays open. 2. It doesn't click in place. This one is the clicky sound wen you open it. 3. And if the top screen flops back by itself. As for mines, it wobble just a little bit when opened . It happens if you move the unit downward (pointing down). All in all according to Nintendo's site your unit is perfectly if it doesn't have the above mentioned problems.That's what i thought, that should be the case. The 3DS seems to be developed this way to prevent the hinge from getting cracked.Alright So I read a post from someone who called Nintendo and they said if it wobbles the hinges are less likely to crack.

The top screen seems heavier than the previous DS's I believe. Maybe from the 3D screen perhaps? :PCaybrownYeah I think so too. I think the whole console is heavier than the Lite and DSi.
That might explain why my DSL hinge cracked on one side. The screen had absolutely NO wobble. Even with the crack, the screen is still rock solid. My 3DS snaps into open position and wobbles just a wee tiny bit. It's nothing I'm getting worked up about. I think I read somewhere where people were having problems with the screen not locking into position.Alright So I read a post from someone who called Nintendo and they said if it wobbles the hinges are less likely to crack.
