Hurm i see.. now i understand. While the issue of the console can be considered resolved, the pokemon y... hurm he didnt key it in wrongly. i was with him when he tried to register the game and he did it twice.it cant be in his list of registered game cz ytd was the first time he tried to do this. im not sure if he knows how does properly sealed looks like for 3ds game box.. but he said its still in plastic.

yeap he did... he is literally a new gamer..

hurm how can we differentiate that its used or not by looking at the save file?

has anyone here whom just recently bought a 3DS bundle with Mario 3D land or Kart and tried registering it after 3 March 2014. do you get the free Pokemon X/Y?

i got my 3DS bundle yesterday but haven't got the time to register it yet...too busy with office work..same as tonight as well...

jus reached home...

its Asian...pls dun tell me its only applicable for US...

ok. i dun quite understd then.

we can register asia 3ds at the eshop..but we cant get enjoy the free promotion. i read ur faq abt eshop n i thought the limitation is only applicable for the physical stuff n the credit card usage. other than tat, we can still buy the digital games n download demo....so i would assume we can get to enjoy the current pokemon xy promotion as well.

n i think it doesnt state explicitly only for NA 3ds...

less like our fren here who claimed his 3ds has the club nintendo card...which im not quite sure wat difference it made. does the registration ask for the club nintendo card info?

urgh...guess i hav to find out myself when i try it out myself...

ok. i guess my misunderstanding comes from the eShop = Club Nintendo.
which actually is not the same.

another question from the newbie:
if i wanna use credit card to purchase something from the eshop...i need to set my region to Canada.

any other complications im not aware of? is there any other hidden or visible charges im not aware besides the cost of the game im purchasing? the cost of the item is in USD currency right? or Canada currency?

Ermm credit card/debit from kita... Cannot use right on US eshop?
Malas betul beli eshop card yg mahal

so you r basically recommending us to stick wif US and use the Nintendo card instead.
i read again your FAQ for eshop:
2. You need to begin with a US region of a game or console. For Malaysians (as of the date of the FAQ being published), it’s easier to begin with the WiiU, followed by the 3DS XL, and then the games. Ok, supposingly the games are easier to start with, but lets not raise suspicion by just a registering a US game out of nowhere and NEVER BUYING A CONSOLE. Sounds odd don’t it?

and im now like f**k....
i got myself an ASIA 3DS....does this mean im forever 'ban' from Club Nintendo? nobody ever tried to register using a US game only?

For the free pokemon x/y promotion, can i buy the mario kart 3ds xl asian bundle or do i have to buy a US 3ds xl to be eligible?

kyo, know any reason why i cant register my 3ds at the maxsoftonline.com?

does connecting to eshop via the console consider as registering the 3ds?

hmm...i cant register now. im concern if my one has been reigstered before or refurbished ver. although the box doesnt state its a refurbished ver (saw ur faq)...perhaps i shud contact maxsoftonline support for assistance....

how much is the reload card price now?
last week i bought a 50usd reload card for rm175 online. is that the cheapest?

Yeah should be 175.. I usually bought it at that price too if desperate xD
Never feel worth it since you pay something higher than the actual price. Need to try other methods like Bestbuy or something 

Just received my 3DSXL Mario & Luigi Dream Team edition!
One noob question, must I update the system to be able to access e-Shop?
