I played with the 3ds for about 15 min at my local Best Buy and after about 5 minutes my eyes started to hurt pretty badly. Is it just me? I wear glasses if that would matter.

The 3D is going to work differently for everyone. It will take some getting used to for most people and some people just won't be able to use it.

This is one of the reason's i am reluctant to buy it, i get migraines a lot and i know that the 3D will probably make it worse. I havent tried it out yet though so i could be wrong.

When I tried it I had to play around with the 3D slider, but once I found the right spot I didn't have any problem at all. Turned it all the way up at first and that kinda made me feel dizzy

Did you fool around with the slider? most people just crank it up and wonder why they're having issues

Did you try adjusting the 3D depth slider at best buy? if not, then that means it was probably set to the "sweet spot" of which ever person used it before you. Next time, try adjusting the 3D slider a bit to find this "sweet spot." But even if 3D doesnt work for you, that shouldnt stop you from buying the 3DS. At the end of the day, all that should matter are the games and reather you like them or not.

I had the slider maxxed out & didnt get hurt. It honestly depensd how used to 3D & looking ar screens u are. I have been doing the cross eyed 3D trick for 2 years so im very used to messing around with my eyes.

As some journalists have mentioned, you use muscles in your eyes that you don't typically use, while viewing 3D. I don't know if this is true for any of you, but when I first started going to the theaters to see 3D movies, my eyes were bothered (strained, tired, a bit blurry) after about an hour. Now 3D in the theater doesn't bother me nearly as much. I think for most people it's just a matter of using those muscles enough, and then the 3DS shouldn't bother you (along with proper use of the slider).

3D does that to some people, thats one reason why the 3DS has the option to reduce or increase the 3D effect to fit your tolerance. Or turn it off entirely as I will be doing as I will be doing as I cant even see 3D images...meh lol

PRO TIP: Use the 3D slider. Full 3D hurt my eyes, but right in the middle was perfect for me.
