Alright so I was in Costco today eating in the food court and I saw an Asian family with probably 5 or 6 kids, they were all playing DSs. When they got closer I could see that 3 of them had 3DSs and I was like, yesss, streetpass tiem. I had my 3DS on the table and sure enough as they walked by the green light lit up. They soon realized what was going on and got all excited, it was pretty funny. So they sat at the table in front of me and were talking amongst themselves pointing at me, lol. The funny part was though, they kept walking past me and they would slip their 3DS in their pocket and then pull it out once they passed me, thinking they could tag me again, haha. Before that, I only had 2 streetpass tags, and I have had mine since launch. Now, in one day I got 3 more in less then a minute.

Haha, nice story, the kids couldn't hide the excitement. the only tags I got until now are mostly from Gamestop employees.

They just needed to walk away a little more to tag you again and your Mii would have been higher level for the Rescue Mii minigame (also them for you) I got 2 today. One in a traffic jam (my wife was driving not me) and the other one walking in a mall. Sadly I wasted the first one and didn't take the piece of the puzzle nor the Rescue Mii game :( In total I only have 3 as it appears is still rare around here :( Regards

where in Canada are you, i live in Toronto and every time i took out my 3ds going to school downtown ive gotten at least one hit. ive also gotten a hit from someone from Japan and Trinidad and Tobago. i guess its because im going downtown on busy times when everyone is out.

How much would it cost to import? I doubt I will have much trouble using Streepass, I could always just go to the Nintendo World Store if I want guaranteed hits

I go to RIT for game design, so I get a lot of tags. Whenever I spend an evening working on a project in the game dev labs I usually get a least five tags just while I'm sitting getting my dev on. Nerd school is awesome.

How much would it cost to import?

well the $250 from the system, plus, err, $50 in a safe international shipping (no way i'm sending through regular air mail :P), plus the extremely likely chance of customs charging it 60% of the price (price and shipping, so 60% of 300) in taxes. it would still be cheaper than buying here, but it would still be absurd.

When I get a 3DS (and I literally pray for that time to come around soon) I probably won't find a lot of hits. People went crazy over the PSP here, just a bit excited for the 3DS, then forgot all about handheld gaming. I've only seen ONE person with a 3DS in public. ONE.

I'm in a small country town where the city is one hour away. The closest game store is Chirnside Park. The only friend who has a 3DS lives in Bendigo, which is 3 hours away. Life gets pretty boring.

My funniest story was when I went to a mall on Saturday while easter. I knew there will be a lot of people and took my 3DS with me in hope to get new StreetPass data. But it didn't work. When I came home, somewhat disappointed, I just put it on the docking station. Suddendly I saw that the Led started to flash green. I started looking around and realised that there was an 50+ years old man, walking with his dog and a 3DS in his pocket.
