    Any place to get genuine Gameboy boxes other than ebay?

    Thanks very much. I was able to grab a well priced a box in reasonable condition here in the UK, yet while still being the US version. I don't know the odds of that, but I am very happy.

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    As far as I know it's possible, I read reviews on amazon.de and they claim to have had them. I had one and also a pearl white, which is from the same release period and they were both dual TN.

    Hardware 3rd party screen blur.

    Thanks everyone. There were other problems with the 3DS so I decided to sell it on privately for pretty cheap. I bought a Hyrule 3DS as a replacement and love it.

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    Almost certainly TN IMO. By the way, I'm convinced that Hyrule 3DS' that start with QW11 are almost exclusively IPS. I've never seen one that isn't and I was so confident I ordered one off of ebay from the US to the UK and it was. Now I don't want to say it's 100% but I'm reasonably confident...

    Hardware 3rd party screen blur.

    Hi folks. I have a 3DS I've had since new. A while back I dropped a mug and it broke my too LCD. I replaced it with a third party screen (TN) and while the colours look pretty decent I have a ton of blur or ghosting. https://streamable.com/ie3t3 It's really noticeable in games like the...

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    Sorry for the double post. Out of interest my old N3DSXl was one I cracked the LCD in. I replaced the screen with a third party screen. Can anyone tell me if this is a normal amount of ghosting/blur for a TN screen? Seems pretty extreme to me. https://streamable.com/ie3t3

    I suppose so. I think QW11 is exclusively the Hyrule model.

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    Thanks for the advice earlier guys. Scored what for me is a pretty much perfect console. Mint condition Hyrule edition 3DS, with dual IPS screens and even a great hinge. I know they say there's no correlation for Serial numbers, but I'm sure QW11 consoles have a higher chance.

    I've never heard of a 2DS with an IPS screen.

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    You're absolutely right. The one I'm looking at is an import. With regards to European ones I haven't a clue of what to look for in terms of a pattern in serial numbers, the only thing I've ever seen that has seems to have more chance is the QW11 series in America. It is possible to get a dual...

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    Thanks, it's one I'm looking to buy so I can't load it on there unfortunately, but I'm confident enough it's a dual IPS. I know serial numbers aren't meant to mean that much, but it seems the Hyrule ones that start with QW11 have a very high chance of dual IPS.

    Sorry to ask for another confirmation, to my mind this is a dual IPS: https://imgur.com/a/glNt7 Any thoughts on that? (these are pics from a seller, so the room isn't as dark as I'd like)

    Thank you. As an aside are dual IPS consoles known to be rarer in the UK? I haven't seen any really. Thanks

    Tutorial TN and IPS Displays - Which does my 3DS have?

    I think this is an IPS 3DS (at least the top screen, pretty sure the bottom is TN) Can anyone confirm: https://imgur.com/a/XXgCx

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.
     +2
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
     +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same
