Anyone having hardware issues with their 3DS system?

Just sent my Cosmo Black unit back to Nintendo for a free repair.

Apparently Street Fighter on this portable may have been little too much for it physically, because while playing I heard something pop while trying to perform the Shoryuken motion. The Analog stick pretty much froze in position after that. I managed to free the stick but afterwards it felt like it couldn't in 1/4 cardinal directions which would vary from moment to moment. I should add that it was a few days after the 30 day window when it occurred.

So I was just a little curious whether any other 3ds users had similar hardware issues with their units?

Thus far I haven't had a problem. I've played Street Fighter a few times and several people have played mine with no problem.

No problems here, though I haven't been too rough on it.

I picked mine up at the GameStop in my neighborhood. I did hear there was a software problem in respect to the 3DS with monkeyball, but I haven't heard anything else.

Just a follow up on this, it looks like it wasn't quickly repairable because a new one was sent out almost immediately, although it looks like there was no data transfer and my SD card didn't contain much in the ways of data.

Used mine a fair bit and no problems at all, aside for a little cosmetic defect on the circle pad but that doesn't affect anything but my OCD.
