This might allow for his eyes to adjust to the 3D images.<br /><br />Also, your son must always view the 3D images directly 'face on' to avoid any ghosting effects which may also make him ill. <br /><br />However, it is also possible that your son is one of the minority of people who cannot process 3D images correctly, in which case, only playing with the 3D effect off completely would ease his symptoms. It is a tricky situation...Our best advice is if you are confident that the 3DS was what caused to return the console to the store and ask to exchange it for another gaming gift - a PSP perhaps?<br /><br />Mini Gamers hopes that your problem is sorted out soon. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

He hasn't gotten it yet, as Christmas morning has not yet arrived. We were at the store today, and, just like any other time, he wanted to go play the 3ds they have in the store. He only played for about 5 minutes, then we left. On our way home, he was complainning of a headache. I thought nothing of it because he's played it before. When we got home, he started vomiting. After he laid down for a little, he said, "I know why I got sick, it was from the 3ds." I thought nothing of it before. He also said that he would just play it without the 3d effects on. I'm not quite sure what to do at this point, as his grandparents & myself have gotten him games to go along with this awesome gift. This system is all he's been talking about for the past 5 or more months.hoffmanchichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200711088777965094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067615038881450735.post-24714388110224625592011-08-18T17:59:57.079+01:002011-08-18T17:59:57.079+01:00Hello Hey_Soul_Sister,

Is it really that hard to -gasp- turn the 3D slider OFF, for crying out loud? Sheesh! If the effect makes you sick, turn it off! People nowadays have to be told everything. What a damn shame.Crafty_Chicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299811338070267388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067615038881450735.post-19899943729959055352011-08-02T09:55:28.705+01:002011-08-02T09:55:28.705+01:00UPDATE: Two young relatives have since tried out t...UPDATE: Two young relatives have since tried out the 3DS. Whilst one of them had no problem with the 3DS and instantly turned the depth slider up on full, the other had problems adjusting to the 3D images and often refered to images or games being 'blurry', but after a short while, their eyes adjusted and they were fine. No dizziness or sickness though.MINI GAMERShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17710530920316436995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067615038881450735.post-46868686865416185312011-06-28T13:44:09.670+01:002011-06-28T13:44:09.670+01:00Thank you for your comment.

Mini Gamers hopes that you enjoy your 3DS with no side-effects too.MINI GAMERShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17710530920316436995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067615038881450735.post-85800331240761978442011-06-27T21:53:48.777+01:002011-06-27T21:53:48.777+01:00Hey I went this morning to check out the 3DS... so...Hey I went this morning to check out the 3DS... someone else was playing with the tester console and I went closer to see what it looks like...standin right next to that kid and lookin straight to the 3D screen I got this weird feelin like i couldn't watch no more...<br />but when i finaly held it to my hands i was totaly thrilled...<br />i bought it and i hope there will not be any side effectsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067615038881450735.post-59385289948946546922011-05-10T12:58:34.073+01:002011-05-10T12:58:34.073+01:00Thank you for your comment, anonymous.

We would however be interested in hearing from anyone who has experienced sickness or nausea. <br /><br />We have to say though, it seems as though the article has blown the scale of this problem way out of proportion. Most people are able to use the console with no ill-effects whatsoever.MINI GAMERShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17710530920316436995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067615038881450735.post-67525755790427736332011-05-09T15:53:54.180+01:002011-05-09T15:53:54.180+01:00This is dumb.

I can even play my 3DS in the car without getting sick. It is a wonderful handheld. I personally love it and will stand behind it. If you are thinking about getting one and this is a deciding factor, please take my comment into consideration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
