my god- you mean im not the only one who spent a good hour searching for a way to switch it back to a 12 hour clock?

What's wrong with an 24 hour clock? I personally hate the 12 hour clock.

24 hour clock sucks because we are (I assume) American and not in the military, and used to the 12-hour clock. I actually tried running on 24-hour time before... that got confusing pretty fast. I think the 12-hour clock works surprisingly well for whatever reason.

I think the worst thing about the 3ds (at the moment) is the weaksauce opening lineup. Legend of Zelda aside, the 3ds is getting the same shovelware treatment the ds started to get near the end of it's lifespan. Please don't start the handheld off with petty titles, give us games with substance, with playablility and most of all value for our $$$$. The physical aspects don't bother me so much, only because I'm fairly sure they'll be releasing a newer model in the near future.

Oh right. I'm from Europe, so that might explain it... We also don't have to use PM/AM stuff like that. I prefer 24 hour, but i guess it's just what you are familiar with.

Battery too short, the location of the stylus and the L R buttons are too small and too easy to press by mistake while taking out the stylus.

I really don't mind the volume slider or the position of the stylus. And I have had no issues with the battery whatsoever. Only problem I had is if you close the system too hard which I did on accident you get two massive scratches on each side of the top screen because of the bottom screen. But I really don't notice it unless I really try hard to look for it. Still kind of a annoyance

location of the volume button... why would they put it there where you can easily slide it by mistake... not only that but why make it slidable? they should of kept the dsi type of raising and lowering the volume... How many times do i have to pause a game to adjust the volume because i kept accidently raising it in the heat of gaming.

Haven't had a problem with it, at least so far. And I don't think I will either, as I think Street Fighter was the ultimate test for accidentally hitting something on the system you shouldn't. The only design problem on a portable I've ever had was putting my psp into sleep, on the 3000 model.

I think we've established that we can't actually agree about the worst thing on the 3DS.

I don't have an issue with the volume control.. IMO I think the worst thing about the 3ds is the lack of games out for it atm.

I've had no problems with the battery life. I actually thought it would be worse.

I would say the worst thing about the 3ds is the lack of quality games for it so far.

Ocarina of time is amazing, that's the one game I have, but we need more 3ds games with Oot quality.

I dislike the rather short battery life, and the stylus placement can be awkward.. Wish there was an option for left-handers too.

I dislike the location of the power button more, for a while after I first got it I could not get used to where the start/home/select buttons where and kept pressing the power button instead, hell even now that I'm used to where they are I still dislike it a lot.

I don't have any problems with the volume slider. The stylus location is a little inconvient, since I have to tug it out to get it out.

The worst thing for me is the volume itself, how can it be so low!!!! I just hate having to spend a bunch of money more in a noise canceling earphones to actually listen something when at the street!!enrique_marrodz

Exactly my problem with the system. I also probably would of liked the click volume buttons instead of the sliding one. I have no problem with the stylus placement. It actually annoyed me that it got loose on my Dsi after awhile. ALSO the battery life is not bad. I carry it around with wi-fi on everywhere I go and play it. I have it on 24/7. Whoever said the battery life is horrible should get slapped or better yet get a girlfriend or something.

No, the worst thing on the 3DS is the location of the Stylus....but I don't really care because I don't even use the stylus to begin with so I have no problems with it at all.

The battery life gets annoying sometimes but the stylus location is the biggest pain for me.

Never had any problems with the volume slider or the battery, I don't use the stylus that often so the placement doesn't bother me either.

The volume slider is fine. But the volume itself doesn't sound high enough.
