How in the world does something like this happen!? Who's in charge of putting this stuff together? Man, there are going to be some very angry customers at HMV. Thanks to Warerare for the heads up!

not only that, but that is the old model and not even the XL model.. lol
Umm, that's an original 3DS with a photoshopped second analog stick.
I could see if it even closely resembled the look of the actual 3DS XL, but that is clearly the original. Is this "tip" even real? It looks like a hacked up internet rumor type of job.
82% bigger screens?
Second Circle Pad?
Up to 10 hours battery life in 3D?
Vulcano Red and Ivory White?!
And what on earth is that abomination of a Photoshopped image?!
I need to lie down...
Yeah that picture has been heavily doctored. It's the E3 2010 model for the original 3DS, not even the final product version. The circle pads are colored instead of gray, and the 3D slider icon is illuminated green.
ROFL
This has to be photoshopped. How could it be real? Its wrong about so many things. How could a person who works for a retailer possible get all of these things wrong at once? It just seems purely intentional. First off its 90% bigger screens, not 82%, so they got that wrong too. Its showing the the old model of the 3DS, with a Photoshopped second circle pad on it. The colors are also wrong, because its red and blue here in North America, not red and white. The Battery life is wrong as well, as it does not play up to 10 hours in 3D. Its just wrong on every level. They don't even have the new stylus, its the old telescoping one!
"Second circle pad, ideal for left handed players". An amazing thought processes happened here.
I emailed this in and I can assure you that is an instore advert, they have obviously just taken some photoshopped image from the internet and used it for their marketing campaign. I will try and get a video of the display soon for more proof, hopefully it won't get taken down by Monday.
WOW...WOW...WOW... How do you f**k up something like THIS?! Unbelieveable, HMV.
Heads will roll!
Their customers are being fed LIES that should have been TRUE! (8D)
I don't believe this is true. HMV would not be the ones creating the 3DS Marketing posters for their stores, they would be sent the marketing material from Nintendo.
These photos should prove things are legit. These are the 3 I took in the store, I don't like being called a liar.

Holy zombie Jesus! So many things wrong with one picture....I...I...I can't......
That is just horrid!
@warerare
Unbelievable. Maybe it's just that one store and not any other HMV? It's on a regular 8x11 sheet of paper, so I wouldn't be surprised.
This is an old picture that spread around the web, they must have just googled 3DS XL and nabbed the first image they found.
Oh MY! It's actually worse, as the text JUST BESIDE IT is actually factually correct! There is even a sentence saying it actually DON'T have a second circle pad... WTF?!
Wow, that's just....embarrassing.
@Elfteiroh
Yeah, that really is stupid of them. I'd love to be able to correct them in store and show them what idiots they are!
Hey, they actually could get sued for this... So yeah, it's not just stupid of them, it's actually dangerous for them. >_<
And it would serve them right for putting out false information!
