I played Pilot Wings at Best Buy, but I only say the 3D for about 4 seconds then it went blurry. I had the 3D set to the max then to the middle to see if that was it, but it still did the same thing. Does anyone here wear contacts or glasses, I think this might be my problem. Anyone experience the same effects? Just wondering.

I'd reccomend messing around with the slider a little more, since for some people, they see 3D with the slider saying 3D is barely on, while others have it in or close to the middle and others have it at max. Also make sure that you are right infront of the 3DS and not standing too close or too far away.

You obviously fell out of the sweet spot. You do know that the 3D effect is just an illusion, right? That illusion becomes distorted when you exit a certain viewing angle. Either that or the demo unit was broken. Is that so hard to believe, either? Hundreds of people rubbing their filthy mitts all over it, handling it as if it were their own personal property? I would assume it wouldn't be in the best shape after a week in Best Buy.

The Demo unit was mounted so you couldn't pick it up. I tried moving the slider mutlipule times for the 3D effect to work for me, but like I said it only worked for four seconds for me. I even stepped back as far as I can and got closer too. Still it was blurred. I guess I will try it again. (I am still getting one on launch!)

Sometimes...but it was my fault. I felt myself constantly trying to focus on one of the 3d planes (not airplanes). The only issue I really had was how moving it to the side got rid of the 3d...overall I am sure you will get used to it.

Ummm.. Yea you can.. The 3DS is just mounted on to a VERY powerful magnet... If you give it a good tug you can rip it off and hold it freely.. I'm not lying..

Its true, I can vouge for you. Its actually a promo game that target and best buy do. If you can rip the 3DS off the stand and get out the store in time then you actually get to keep the 3DS. What a deal. I'm going to best buy later on to try my luck.
