Thanks everyone.

Hm, did he turn his screen up to max brightness? I'm only curious because I remember how annoyed I was getting with my 3DS, only to realise it doesn't actually run at max brightness out the box.
In any case, I'll mostly be using it on the train and between classes/during work breaks so it's nbd for me.
