I thought they were going to ship it on Monday! Great news!!

I purchased the 3DS through Barnes and Nobles... which uses Gamestop to ship. If anyone else ordered from B&N (probably not) or gamestop, check your email. I got my tracking info. It will arrive Tuesday. :)

Did you do ground shipping? I'm doing 1-Day shipping from Amazon for a Grand Total: $223.98 but I think I'm also getting mine on the 29th :( It it hasn't been "shipped" yet :-\ Now I wish I did an "in person" pre-order so I could get it the day of.

I did ground shipping and UPS's new & cool tracking system says that it is supposed to arrive on Tuesday. BUT I've seen them on many occasions shorten their estimated delivery time. There's a great chance that I could get it Monday, since it isn't being shipped too far away from me AND UPS packages move during the weekend. So its a possibility.

Haha, jealous! Why else would I buy a Nintendo 3DS from Barnes and Nobles? That's all the proof you need. I would pre-order from my local gamestop and pick it up, but $50 I don't mind waiting an extra day or two for mine to come. **dances**

I wouldn't do that if I were you. B&N won't ship on Saturday so if you order now it will be shipped out Monday and it will be UPS ground. IMO, its better to go through Amazon as of now because you said you have the one day shipping. If you order through B&N now you won't get your game for awhile! (you might be pushed towards the back of the pre-order list and risk even getting a 3DS).

Through a glitch though. Be careful before you cancel your preorder!

I should be getting mine Tuesday from Amazon, but I'm willing to wait 2 more days since I'm saving 50 bucks from all the credits I had. Amazon sometimes surprises people though, so maybe I'll get it on Monday, but I doubt it.

That's true, as long as you get it, ya'll be happy, this thing is gonna be sold out everywhere. Hey flowersjf, who is that in your signature? His shooting form is all wrong! It looks like he's shooting with two hands. He needs to put his guide hand more on the side of the ball and his shooting hand's elbow needs to not stick out. I would coach him into a better player. :D

Yeah it'll be months before we see 3ds's in stores which is why I preordered online. And the guy in my signature is Austin Rivers, the #1 high school player in the nation. His shooting form is weird but it always goes in lol. And he's good at driving in the lane. He's going to play for Duke next year too. I highly advise you to look him up on YouTube, you won't regret it.

Why would it be months? Nintendo sent out their second shipment only a few days after launch sell out.

Sweet. I hope mine follows suit soon. My 3DS's scheduled delivery is on Tuesday with 1-day shipping, but if it ships today then perhaps it will come on Monday instead.

Not everyone that pre-orders a 3DS will get one. There will be stores with shortages. So the second shipment will go to those who pre-ordered too. Here's the latest news: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/33720/Nintendos_US_3DS_Preorders_Double_Wiis.php

Remember how hard it was for people to find a Wii when it first came out? (I wouldn't know really, since I pre-ordered my Wii and got it on day 1). But the 3DS could be even harder to find than the Wii! :o

I think the TC said UPS hipped during the weekends and usually Amazon ships through UPS (when i use my Prime 2-day shipping) Therefore I didn't know if FedEx did the same but turns out they do so its all good.

I thought they were going to ship it on Monday! Great news!!

I purchased the 3DS through Barnes and Nobles... which uses Gamestop to ship. If anyone else ordered from B&N (probably not) or gamestop, check your email. I got my tracking info. It will arrive Tuesday. :)

MicrosoftISdumb

Why did you order from Barnes and Noble? do you like paying taxes? What did you get with your preorder? Amazon is giving $25 towards a launch title 3ds game. I never understand why people buy stuff from gamestop.com or places like barnes and noble when they could get it from amazon or another place online that doesn't charge sales tax. hmm

I don't pay taxes because I live in a tax free state (once you go no tax, you NEVER go back!) and I don't like any of the 3DS games so I didn't get any. I'm going to simply play the AR games and the other stuff already on the 3DS. Plus I bought some DS games to play on the 3DS.

So that answers your question of: "I never understand why people buy stuff from gamestop.com or places like barnes and noble when they could get it from amazon or another place online that doesn't charge sales tax."

Which leads me to my question of: "How the heck can people live in a taxing state, I can't imagine paying thousands of dollars in taxes a year on all my purchases... local AND online!" :P

I tend to forget people can't sense sarcasm over the internet. But yeah anyways, it's gonna be crazy and I don't care about that "black screen of death" crap. As long as it's functional then I'm sure we'll all be fine.

I checked out Austin Rivers, he's pretty beastly. Still his jump shot is all wrong. To slow and his hand/arm position is all funk. The real test is when he plays at Duke. Someone has to teach him how to shoot better, it would improve his game even more. His shot is too slow and that could kill him at the next level, when everyone on the team was the best player from their high school team. Oh and he never uses his left hand to finish at the hoop, an obvious weakness. I would exploit that as a defender, force him left and MAKE him use his left hand. He bluffs left everytime and goes back to his right hand. Just some things I noticed.

Delaware. Every purchase whether online or at a local store has zero sales tax if you live in the state. "Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon are the five states that currently do not impose general sales taxes at the state level."

Just because you arent paying taxes doesnt mean you are really saving money in the long run. You are probably being charged some weird fees for everyday items, or are pying the money you would give to the govt if you were taxed somewhere else. The state government has to get its money from somewhere afterall

your probably paying higher on property taxes and in other things. so just because you don't get charged sales tax doesn't mean you are really saving because the government has to make the money somewhere.

[QUOTE="MicrosoftISdumb"]

I don't pay taxes because I live in a tax free state (once you go no tax, you NEVER go back!) and I don't like any of the 3DS games so I didn't get any. I'm going to simply play the AR games and the other stuff already on the 3DS. Plus I bought some DS games to play on the 3DS.

So that answers your question of: "I never understand why people buy stuff from gamestop.com or places like barnes and noble when they could get it from amazon or another place online that doesn't charge sales tax."

Which leads me to my question of: "How the heck can people live in a taxing state, I can't imagine paying thousands of dollars in taxes a year on all my purchases... local AND online!" :P

Just because you arent paying taxes doesnt mean you are really saving money in the long run. You are probably being charged some weird fees for everyday items, or are pying the money you would give to the govt if you were taxed somewhere else. The state government has to get its money from somewhere afterall

No, no weird fees for every day items. Actually our prices are lower than all the places around here. For instance clothing is way cheaper (I can get Levi jeans for $15 a pair... my relatives save their heavy shopping for when they come to Delaware, they save so much money), gasoline prices are always lower than the surrounding places it was $3.40 today, housing prices are lower (can't even compare it to California! Lets not even talk about their 8.25% sales tax :o ). Our income taxes are among the lowest, property tax is among the lowest (search for delware, lowest in the state is ranked 600!!) etc. etc. etc.

Delware is a state in which people pay less taxes and pay more with their money on all the good things in life. We are such a small state, we get breaks. We get picked on, but in the end we win, because life is all about money... and we get to keep it. :D

Why do you think every major Bank tries to locate their headquarters in Delaware. I could give you a hint, but I bet you can figure it out. ;)

The "problem" is most states that have lower taxes also tend to have less jobs available and/or the average annual income is lower. Therefore the cost of living is generally cheaper. That's how it balances itself out.
