Well, got another e-mail saying there was a systemic error and in fact I will not be getting the console. The cake console is a lie. ::)

So now they asked me if there's another product I want from the store or cancel the payments. There is another console, same thing but from a different supplier, only more expensive. ::)

Tell em to go fuck their hats.

Depending on the answer I get I sure will!  :Gaah:

I'm not sure, but I think there's a law which favours the consumer in this case. There's a chance they will give me the console for the price I paid (even if the other supplier charges more for it). It's not my problem, it's the mediator's, who listed the product on their site and didn't have it in stock. 

I sent them an email this morning, and am anxiously awaiting a reply.

I bought the console from another online platform. To hell with the other.

It will probably arrive on Tuesday!  :jumps: Or Wednesday. :notsure:

Some time this week.

Yes, it's been a real test in patience!

I'm still debating getting a 3ds because I really want to play that game again.

...remember the first console I bought, a long, long, time ago? Well, it finally arrived. ::) Thing is, I was in contact with the store during the last couple of weeks after they informed me of the systemic error which caused them to list the product online even though they didn't have any in their inventory and they asked me not to receive anything should it arrive.

Thing is, I bought the console using my mother's credit card, and she received the product.

Now I have to send another email to the store asking them to take it back and cancel the payments. :doh: I didn't even open the package even though I really want to. It's right there! The console, the game and the charger. :sad sigh:

What an odyssey this has been!

On a scale of 1 being No and 10 being Yes, how likely are you to get one?

I've been tracking the package in the mail, it should arrive tomorrow.  :woohoo!:

As for the other order, I've sent an email to the first store asking how I send it back so they can cancel the payments. I have no use for two consoles!

This whole thing has gone beyond pissing me off. Sorry for the constant ranting, guys.

I'm at a five or so now. I looked at them a few weeks ago but wasn't sure what was what, so to speak. I found the presence of the 2ds on the shelf at a much lower price very confusing.

Don't let it confuse you too much. The 2DS is merely just the same console without the ability to turn on the 3D effects (3D like on a 3D TV/movie).

Beyond that, you have the classifications of "New" and "XL". "New" 3DS/2DS is... I really don't know. Supposedly it is slightly more powerful and has a very limited amount of exclusive games to it (I think Xenoblade and Fire Emblem Heroes may be the only ones). "XL" is simply larger than the regular.
