In other Christmas related news, I have somehow managed to break the R button on my 3ds (I am blaming it on poor craftsmanship as I never would do anything to hurt him).  And so now I am trying to figure out how to send it in for repairs, because on top of getting Mario Kart 7 aaaaand Resident Evil Mercenaries 3ds from my fam, RE Revelations comes out in just over a month, so I need to deal with this ASAP and get my baby home to me.  

The instructions seem really shady to me, though, as if Nintendo Repairs also operates as a drug den on the side.  They include rules like:

•  Place all items in a plastic bag, then into a box.
•  If you are sending in a Wii console, make sure to protect it by
   wrapping it in clear kitchen cling wrap prior to packaging.
• Include a note in the package with the following information:
   - Your name, address, and phone number.
   - Your RO number (provided in the subject line of this e-mail).
   - A brief description of the problem you are having with your system.
   - A list of all the items you are including with this repair.
  * Place the note into an envelope and include in the package.
  

They already have this information! WHY are they requesting it in a secret plastic wrapped, bullet proof envelope???
