[quote name='mtxbass1']Question for those in the know.
I just got a 3DS XL today. I don't want to register it at club Nintendo until next year. When I connect it online, will it try to register it to my account? I do want to access the store however...[/QUOTE]
If you're waiting so that you get to enter it at the beginning of 2013, I think the Club Nintendo redemption year runs from July - June, not Jan - Dec.
That being said, I'm also a new 3DS XL owner and just signed up for CN. I've got 250 points already and have an eye on the Reversible Pouch. How often do they switch up the mid-level items (around 250 points)? Just don't want to blow my entire point budget and have some way cool thing debut soon.
Thanks!
