One of the 3D screens in my 3DS has a dead pixel.  It’s really weird because I guess the 3D screen is actually two screens layered over each other so it can project two different images to your eyes, creating a 3D effect.  When the 3D is on, I can make the dead pixel disappear if I’m careful about the angle I hold the console at.  If the 3D is off, the dead pixel is really noticeable.

My iPad2 has a dead pixel, too.  I noticed it a few months ago.  It really bothered me at first, but now I don’t notice it unless I’m looking for it.  I hope this will happen with the 3DS eventually.

I couldn’t be bothered to send either of them back to have it “fixed” because there’s a chance I’ll get one back with the same or worse defect.  But gosh it’s annoying!

In any case, I love my 3DS! It’s beautiful! And it was super fun playing co-op games with my friend yesterday.  I’m going to wander around later to see if I can StreetPass someone.  :-D  /nerd
