Well i got my 3DS today, was playing Super Mario 3D Land for about 25 minutes and the sound wasn't even turned up half way, and it kept cutting out completley and then blasting back on as if it was turned all the way up, and it continued to do this no matter how many times i adjusted it, right up until i turned it off.

I googled the issue online and a few more people have the same problem as well, so, since i'm still in the market for a good portable, i guess i'll be returning the 3DS stuff tomorrow and picking up a Vita...just wish it had some more good games to get on it than it does.

So flame on if your going to.

Mine doesn't have any problems. If you are really worried of Vita not having many games, you would have exchanged your 3DS to a new one, not a get a Vita.

Cool Story......... bro.

I'm gonna run out and get rid of my 3DS too, and get a Vita like you.

Does Sony pay you for this?

I had a DS Lite with sound problems. Took it back and the other worked fine. Also- Me and my wife both had PSP's. W ewould upgrade them a lot and we had several of them with sound problems and burned pixels.I think it is just handhelds. Just have to check them very good to make sure they are fine before you can't take them back.

Also- I am hard on Nintendo because of the Wii and the Wii U but I have to give them credit. Their handhelds are awesome and it is where they do their best work. Just wanted to give them props.

You either have a defective unit (which you should take it back to the store) or it is a software bug.

take it back then see if I care but you would be better off just exchanging it for a different one. Even if this was a persitant problem it sounds like speaker problem. I have really nice over ear headphones I use for gaming, so i never use my handhelds speakers.

Sounds like the best option. Vita's a much better piece of hardware with far better games...but you'll be trolled here so come prepared with officially sanctioned SDC jelly pics. :cool:

You know....PS3 and 360 are close enough to compare and argue about. Putting the Vita in the same universe as the 3DS is ignorant. I didn't even think you were that dumb.

I wouldn't put 3ds and vita in the same universe either. They cater to different audiences. Vita has my online shooters, the dual analogs built in and features I want like party chat,mp4 video. 3ds doesn't.

I've never had any sound technical issues that I've noticed but Nintendo handhelds all do have terrible general audio sound. Hopefully they improved the sound on the 3DS XL since I'll be getting one when I have some extra money.

This is on System Wars, because??? If you have a problem and you DON'T want flame, go to the 3DS board with your problem.

Time to send it in to Nintendo; or buy some headphones.

I wouldn't put the Wii and PS3/Xbox together and the same with PC and consoles but Vita and 3DS are pretty much alike. It's like PS2 vs Xbox, not that far away.

Back in the day, when he trolled it actually made sense and could be somewhat true. What he said is just stupid.

here I thought this was a legitimate comparison. 3DS's sound quality is terrible compared to Vita or iPodTouch/iPhone.

Well i decided to just swap out the 3DS XL for a replacement one, because i was thinking just because i was finally one of the unlucky ones to get a defective product doesn't mean they'll all be like that. So my new 3DS XL is charging now and i should be able to start setting it up and be playing it within the hour...so i'll just have to keep my fingers crossed and hope i got a good one this time...i'm not bailing out on Nintendo just yet.

Your fanboy post are so unbelievably childish and brainwashed they physically hurt me. "far better games"? Care to elaborate? Anyway on topic. it sounds like just a dodgy 3DS unit, something that can be swiftly fixed by returning it to the store you bought it froma nd getting a new one. Although the face you're just writing off the whole console based on that and said you're gonna get a Vita now because of it makes me doubt the authnticity of this thread.. And if its just been made up as a shameless pro Vita thread, thats really quite sad. The Vitas merits should speak for themselves. Anyway a few years back I wish I had been smart enough to go straight back to the shop when I got a PSP and it had a dead pixel as soon as I took it out of the box! :|

Good to see you came to your senses. The Vita is still a great system, but you can't go wrong with the 3DS either.

My 3DS doesnt have any problems when Im playing games, but I will admit that the audio kind of sucks when listening to music and videos.
