Topic: 3DS Ambassador Confirmation Tool Available Now

[TJ Spyke]

You don't need to enter your serial number on any of these sties, this is merely for your convenience to see if you are eligible or not. You will still get your games even if you don't do it. Not sure about the eShop part though.

[Mop it up]

The eShop already tells you if you're eligible, that's why this is redundant.

I guess they just want to make it more convenient, I don't know. I haven't accessed the eShop in weeks.

I got my 3DS with the price drop on the 11th at Wal Mart, rushing home, knowing that due to the time difference where I live, I only had 20 minutes to connect to the eShop to be eligible. I booted up the 3DS to find that it didn't come with current firmware, and I needed to update. I tried, but it kept failing. My time was up. The next morning I booted it up to try again, just for kicks. I found that I set the clock wrong (didn't convert to military) and that was the problem. I updated and got the eShop, but it was a bittersweet victory, I didn't meet the August 12th deadline. I sent an email to NOA customer support to see if they could throw me a bone, and got an email back saying that they were working with things and I'd get a reply by the end of the week. A day after this Serial Checker surfaced, I got 2(from different reps, not sure why, both form letters) saying I should check out my code to see if I'm eligible, and somehow, I made it. So yeah, I'm getting the 20 free games and I got the discount, which I probably would have never thought to do unless it had been mentioned on RFN.

Wow, you got so damn lucky.
