I did it. I went and bought a New Nintendo 3DS XL. I also treated myself to a copy of an old Zelda game, which I read had excellent reviews: Ocarina of time.

If purchasing these two products was a bad decision time will tell. They weren't too cheap. ::)

I haven't played games in a long time but I can they'll you that Ocarina of Time is awesome! Knowing it's available again almost makes me want a Nintendo.

Well, Ocarina of Time arrived but the handheld console itself is going to take a long time still. I don't think it comes with a charger, so I'll probably have to order one of those as well.  ::)

That must be torture. The game is RIGHT there, but you can't play it.

Yeah, I'm extremely curious about this game, with its great reviews and all. The console only arrives in the mail next month.  :(

It's the only game I know of where music is an integral part of playing. Absolutely brilliant and captivating.

Bandits, maybe?

That's always a possibility.  :(

But if it got stolen en route or lost in the mail (yeah, right) it's not my problem, the hypermarket I bought it from almost certainly has their items insured.

My charger arrived but no console yet. :(

If it doesn't arrive on Monday I'm going to have to ask my mother to call and complain. It has to be her because I used her card. :P

(It's not what you think, I gave her the money upfront...it's that she gets a good discount. :smilenod:)

I sent them a message on Tuesday and got a reply today. They messed up but the console will arrive in up to 5 business days. Maybe that means I'll finally get the console close to Christmas? ::)
