3DS Getting Called Back?!

Angry gamers left unwell after playing Nintendo's new 3DS console have complained they are being refused full refunds.Thousands of users have reported side-effects including dizziness, nausea and headaches after using the device with revolutionary 3D screens.Some are furious that shops are refusing to pay back the money they spent on the 3DS, which has a recommended retail price of £229.99 and was released ten days ago.Complaints: Angry gamers left feeling unwell after playing the Nintendo 3DS have said they are being refused full refundsSundeep Taylor, 27, from Luton, said he felt ill after playing on the hand-held console with his son for just three minutes.
But when he returned it with his receipt to his local Game store he claims he was only offered a refund of £176.99, which is £30 less than he paid for it.
The Nintendo 3DS was launched last month to huge fanfare in Britain, Europe and the U.S.
Gamers, some of whom queued overnight to become the first to own it, soon reported various side-effects.
A spokesman for Nintendo today said: 'The Nintendo 3DS was designed with a 3D depth slider that lets users adjust the 3D effect so that everyone can still enjoy this product.
'When viewing any kind of 3D images, including movies and on TV, some people might experience minor discomfort.
'The effects are short term and have no lasting effect; most people can continue after taking a break.

Wow They Play It For Like Half A Hour And Wam You Will Experince Stuff...So Lucky I Never Got A 3DS, I Consider You Dont Get One.

Yep LOL Their is a non 3D mode Why Dont They Use Dat..

Re: 3DS Getting Called Back?! Due To:I've read that the effects of playing in 3D are greatly reduced (or sometimes nonexistent) if you just hold the 3DS still while playing.Was the 3D really the sole reason for those folks buying the system or are they really too stupid to figure out how to turn the 3D off?...

Re: 3DS Getting Called Back?! Due To:I geuss they make them so cool and populaur they trick kids to think it will never end or summit

lol sorry i musta put wrong selection how i change?

Re: 3DS Getting Called Back?! Due To: (mod please change to nintendo)note how they say about the 3d slider so obviouly they had it on full whack (thats a tecnical term) which of course would course more strain then on a lower setting. also even without the 3d on there are plenty of features to keep it competing with the NGP when that comes out so all in all im not worried about the 3ds being a flop

Re: 3DS Getting Called Back?! Due To: (mod please change to nintendo)People need to realize a couple of things:- The 3D can be adjusted, but this doesn't really change the 3D itself if I'm not mistaken, more the focal point.
- The 3D can be turned off.
- Your eyes need time to adjust to seeing 3D regularly. What isn't realized is that your eyes were never made to view in the third dimension on a two dimensional surface. After rationing time and increasing time gradually, the 3D will be far easier to handle. That's not to say that you'll be able to go 30 hours viewing the 3D consistently, but you'll be able to play for longer than three minutes.Also, 27? So your child is what, 5 or 6, 10 at best? Nintendo gave warnings that children won't handle the 3D as well, and trying to view it at too young an age can be hazardous. Dumb ass parents.

Natewlie · #2I think everyone's retarded because they don't know that they can turn off the 3D.

Yeah, they are. They think that they can play on 3D mode for hours. I can play on 3D mode for hours, but most of the people complaining are dumbasses who can't read a simple warning. I hate them.

Re: 3DS Getting Called Back?! Due To: (mod please change to nintendo)There's a reason why it says PEGI 7 on the box.

Re: 3DS Getting Called Back?! Due To: (mod please change to nintendo)Nintendo also chimed in: The number of calls and emails with queries on Nintendo 3DS is in fact well below the rate experienced during past hardware launches and having spoken with our retail partners there are only a handful of people who have actually gone into stores to request a refund.

Re: 3DS Getting Called Back?! Due To: (mod please change to nintendo)Theirs a frigen warning Right Before you even launch the system saying if you have any problem with it, Frigen turn it off, wow dont me influenced by mass media, that's just frigen STUPID.The guy that took the DS back is a douche he got it for his kid, and then HE played with it, and took it from the kid and said no I don't feel good so YOU cant have it anymore!HAHA, and you know the fact that he said"Playing with my kid" he probably sat next to him and watched! retard! there is an actual sweet spot to view the 3dAny other will give double vision and make you feel like crap

You read my mind with that last one :\ 3D is just not good for you in general, letting your kids use it early is just stupid.But I do think the 3D should've been better planned out. The issue of actually holding the console still for best effects, as always diminishes the point of it being portable.
And yes, yes, you can turn it off. But honestly, I would've liked the to deal with it long enough so that I WON'T have to compromise by turning it off all the time :<That said though, I'm not buying it anyway ;XD so

LOL a 3DS when you can't use the 3D, what a waste of money. The console is outdated already its only saving grace is its 3D and its exclusive games.

You can use the 3D. It's only a small group of people complaining (see quote below).

Shuga · #12Nintendo also chimed in: The number of calls and emails with queries on Nintendo 3DS is in fact well below the rate experienced during past hardware launches and having spoken with our retail partners there are only a handful of people who have actually gone into stores to request a refund.

So it seems like they're just more easily effected by 3D than normal people.
And I'm willing to bet that a rather large group of those complaining for refunds have simply used the 3DS wrong.

yep lol back the sleep :) i wonder what they are gunna do call it back and make 3d glasses for it or what ...Edit: ow and ty for the staff whoever changed it to nintendo :)

What I think? Typing Like This Is Annoying As Hell.

lol and hot avatar lool

Title of the topic is misleading, no where in the article does it say that the 3DS is getting recalled or called back in any sense.But anyways, its a good find but remember, just cuz the article says thousands of people are experience problems doesn't mean each one of those people are experience serve problems. Most of them are prolly experiencing mild problems while only a few of them are experiencing real medical problemsThe best solution has been said tho, and that is to turn off the 3D
