    Yeah - they're doing similar ones in New York and other places in the U.S later on. I haven't been there since last year, but I do believe Nintendo World Center in New York has the devices on display, or will have the device on display soon enough.

    Congrats though. I haven't seen the device first hand, but I'll definitely be attending the NYC showing later on. Let us know what you think.

    normally i would agree if it was somewhere far from me, but I live in Manchester and finish work like an hour before my time slot, so its perfect for me.

    Congratulations. :)
    Make sure you let us know what the device is like!

    I can't go to one 'cause I don't live near any of those places. We always get left out...
    I'll just have to wait until those try out stalls start appearing. I remember there being a DS Lite one in a shopping centre in Belfast a couple of years ago and I tried out "New Super Mario Bros." at it. Hopefully they will have one for the 3DS too.

    to be honest, i just want to see what the 3ds is like, to see this 3d effect in person, i mean it will no doubt be the deciding factor in my choice to buy it or not, I was gonna wait until they appeared in stores as demos, but this works out well, i guess it's not a bad thing, but all i am gonna do is show up, play on the 3ds and leave, unless i see anything else cool, i wonder what games they'll have..also gonna try and get some pics with my retarded phone whilst i am there too...

    also yea...the GBA was awesome, i still have my original GBA, also had the gold zelda sp one, which i unfortunately sold in order to get something else nintendo related...

    You can attend one of our pre-release events: Manchester and London on February 5th and 6th, and Glasgow and Bristol on February 12th and 13th 2011. It’s an exclusive opportunity to see the Nintendo 3DS for yourself, and see how Street Fighter IV, Pro Evolution Soccer or The Legend of Zelda look in 3D!
    Well there are your games , expect a try out for the 3d camera , and AR aswell .

    They emailed me my ticket, the event is held at The Cube Gallery, Portland Street in Manchester, right near my uni...i think if you are selected, they should have sent the ticket by last night, which is the wednesday before the event, so if you have sent a request drfred, you should have the ticket link by now, check your email, I have mine, just gotta wait til sunday now.
