3DS SD Card
Will the 3DS use any SDHC card?

There's so many on the market I'm not sure which to go for.

I'm also unsure as to what size - how big are downlaods from the e-shop?

Thanks

Think you can go up to 32 gig.

The 3DS already comes with a 2GB SD Card, and the 3DSXL comes with a 4GB one............

I'm going to need more than a 2GB one. So need to know what the best one is in terms of what speed I need.

Well it's just for saving games so wouldn't really worry too much about speed - its not like you are using it for an SLA camera with burst mode - you'll do what with else with it, record a couple of videos maybe? 3DS is hardly a device to give Ridley Scott a run for his movie making money.

As for make? Sandisk. Samsung, they all make them these days - your instinct should tell you if it is a good brand or not.

Potentially, I could be running full games from the SD card so it needs to be a pretty good one.

I bought the Sandisk 16GB Ultra for £8.50 delivered.

I dont think you'll need a high speed one. Anyway - you have made a decision.

The one that came with my 3DS looks like a crappy 2GB Toshiba anyway.

16GB will be future proof. They may do sales in the future on full retail games.
