If it is necessary to store photographs, videos, ringtones and user settings.

You'll need to buy one. SD cards were not included in the two that I bought.

Nope-but SD cards have come down in price. Try to get a fast one like Class 10 to speed up the processing.

I don't know the maximum amount of storage the 3DS can use, but I would recommend the 8GB one. Hope this helps

Yup- need to have some data on there...it helps! Too bad the SD card reader is limited to SD and won't play the newer SDHC. So the card reader is limited to 2 gigs. Somewhat useful but not supe-useful for video as many of those files or folders are well over 2 gigs.

Yes, you need a memory card or stick. I have an SD card (2 GB) in my digital picture frame.

Kind of a dumb question because the headline says "32GB SD card", but I thought that might mean that it *takes* such a card.

Yes. You must use the SD Card in the 2DS. Set the 2DS configuration to save images in the SDCard and then insert the SDCard to the pc or laptop.

None. It does come with a puny 32MB SD card, but for what they cost, pick up a 2 or 4GB one.

No. However, you'll find that populating a micro-SD card is a skill you'll want if you use any of the popular small embedded systems (e.g. Intel Galileo, Raspberry Pi, Beagle, SD shield for Arduino). And pre-configured SD card images/filesystems are easily found on the web. And it's also true that few (if any) of these systems comes with SD cards unless you buy a (potentially overpriced) "kit" with cables, etc.

you need the micro SD card & no it does not come with the card, I have a 4GB but I think it will support up to 16GB microSD card or USB Drive too

Yes, but whenever possible you should use a full size SD card. Micro SDs aren't as reliable (especially in an adapter) or as fast, and offer less gb/$, compared to full size SD cards, simply because of the increased difficulty of manufacturing at the smaller scale.

My guess would be yes. The cards are not made for specific types of equipments. Also note that the biggest SD Card that is officially supported by Nintendo 3DS XL is a 32GB SDHC Card.

Susana, this model has a slot for an SD card. I've had this system for about a month or so, and like it very much.

Depends on the size of the SD card you use. No internal storage comes with it.
