So I took my 3dS to a busy movie theater, downtown (but not during the busiest day), and also a shopping center and nobody. Any ideas?

:lol:

Yeah, I tend to not bring my 3DS out and about, unless I'm visiting relatives. Plus I live in chicago, and the weather has been in the upper 90s and humid. That can't be good for electronics.

Sad but true. I haven't gotten a single hit yet, and I keep my DS charging and in sleep mode in the corner of the room that's closest to the street. It also services anyone who walks in or out of our apartment building, and not a single damn hit yet.

I use my 3DS at school and I always find people. Also, if you take it to Gamestop, you're more than likely to find somebody.

You just have to bring it around with you everywhere you go. I got 2 hits so far, one in Target and one when I was going up to PA to visit my cousin.

I suggest busy air ports, train stations, malls, school, basicly all public areas.

Yeah I was thinking of trying Target andtrymy college when classesstarts up. I almost brought it to my work at Albertson's, but I felt that would be a little embarrassing.

But yeah I was surprised when I got nobody in a crowded downtown area. 10,000 people must been walking around.

I finally got one person from Best Buy. I got nobody from GameStop. Because hardly anyone in the store. But I will for sure go to Best Buy more often now to see if I can get more hits.

I live close to a mall and that place is always busy. But the 3DS is only four months old and sales aren't that high yet. I suggest waiting a while before you get annoyed by your notifications :P

Go to a mall or a gamestore. Might find a few people there.

Not many people have bought a 3DS yet because there aren't even that many great games out yet :l

My area is pretty liberal, so we don't have a mall. We have a downtown and then the main department stores scattered in big box centers. Like Macy's is next to Costco and Home Depot.

I am going to try another Gamestop and Best Buy tomorrow.

Yeah, go to Nintendo's page and you can find a street pass gathering for where you live. They are literally all over the world.

The StreetPass gatherings are in the most populated area right now. The closest one is like 2 hours away in Fresno.
