I got the aqua 3DS in 2012 at age 21, because my fiance's sister's fiance (I know, what the heck) stole my DS Lite.

In 2014 I bought a new, blue 3DS XL alongside Animal Crossing so I could get the free digital copy of Pokemon Y.
 
Once I finally got my own full time job, I was able to finally purchase my own :)

My parents thought I was too old for a 3DS, so they never bought me one. So once I finally got my first paycheck it went straight to my 3DS.
 
Uhh, I think I must have been 17 when it was released because that was my very last birthday present. No more birthday presents after 18.
 
I was 13. I know this because I was in 7th grade when itbwas around release. Funny thing is I got it when I tried it out xD
 
I got mine the Christmas after EU launch so I was 15. I could've got it at release or for my birthday (August) but I remember wanting to wait until the metallic red one was released since I didn't like the blue or black ones and they had shown off all those different colours at an event (I think it was the 2010 E3?) and I was super disappointed when only black and blue were available at launch...

Since then I have had:
1) Metallic Red 3DS (Now in the possession of my brother)
2) Red XL (Now in the possession of my boyfriend)
3) Majora's Mask edition NXL
And honourable mentions to the 2 Japanese N3DS' I have owned in the past.

Hopefully the next one I get will be a Pokemon limited edition one, I liked the red and blue N3DS that the USA got but I need a UK one :p
 
I'm not sure, I got my first DS (the really big, silver one) not long after it came out, I would have been 8/9 I think, then the DS lite, then the DSi. I didn't actually get my own 3DS for a while, I was just using my sisters for some reason. I've had a 3DS for a while now but I actually just this month bought my own, new 3DS.
 
I was in the 6th grade, and I got it as a reward for getting 2nd place at the state level for the research paper category of history fair (I was a nerd lol). So I was 11 or 12. Nintendogs and Cats was my first game for it.
 
I was 14. I say that like it was so long ago. Lmao now I am 15, and I only got it last Christmas.
 
I got my first 3DS, a blue 3DS XL, for Christmas when I was 9. When I was 11 I decided to purchase a 2DS since my 3DS XL was starting to wear out. My 3DS XL's broken now, I still have my 2DS, but since it's starting to wear out as well, I might get another one soon.
 
i think i was 11 or 12 when i got the aqua blue 3ds , i didn't even realize i've had it that long

I saved up and bought my first 3DS at 16. It was an used one, the old regular black one. It has a huge scratch on the bottom screen so it was much cheaper, though I coudln't afford buying a new one.

Bought the N3DS XL at 19, a brand new one, cause my old one started being annoying (freezing, some buttons usually not working, etc.) and because I have huge hands and playing on a small 3DS was painful. My N3DS is the dark blue one, I think Europe got these instead of the American maroon ones.

Got a white DS Lite as a gift for Christmas at 11, it has a broken hinge by now.
