USPS won't let people ship items with battery inside but UPS and FedEx will. But it will cost more than $100 to ship using UPS or Fedex...

Good point. I didn't catch that. Hyrule Warrior's releases on the 19th, not Smash Bros... o.0

Well shit. Might have to skip these. If it was just one I think I could justify it. But two? For $400? My Zelda 3DSXL is less than a year old.

Why does Japan get this design on the New 3DS XL and the rest of the world gets it on the old 3DS XL?

Yeah, that's my point exactly. Would have to purchase one and get the forwarder to remove the battery for me and ship it on it's own via the cheapest possible method. Prob via surface mail. lol If I don't get the battery it's no biggy. lol

Because Japan gets cool new shit and the rest of the world gets fobbed off with Japan's surplus stock...

I can help you get one if you are really interested in one without battery. It will cost less than $30 to ship via USPS.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to see how I'm doing for funds. >.< They're looking a little tight atm, so will need to see closer to the launch. lol

Got my Smash Bros Console today. ^o^ It is an early Christmas present from my GF.



















I also got my game bundle with T-shirt and Sweatband from Nintendo UK Store.




Also, it appears that the Blue Console does exist for the US. Was released on the 19th September as advertised, but doesn't come bundled with the game. I wish the Euro console never came with the game as that could have dropped the console price by atleast £30. I still think it's unfair that the US get the smash bros console for $200 and it cost us £210 for it in the UK. >.<

Anyway, here's an unboxing video for the blue console. Not my video btw.

That's cool! I like the T-Shirt/Sweatband addition! Hoping I'll be able to pick up some swag later, but its doubtful. I didn't realize the blue console was in question, yeah we definitely got one though.
