I took mine out to the Phillies game yesterday and got a hit in the parking lot of CBP. I was hoping for more, but I was still pretty excited when I got back in the car and saw that little green light lit up for the first time.

Got two more repeat streetpasses today, one person I've passed 3 times and the other twice.
So it definitely seems like there are at least a few people headed to SF in the morning during commute hours (when I also head into SF).
But at least thanks to this weekend, I've unlocked three hats and completed two puzzles while starting three more. Hopefully I'll be able to complete them sometime soon.

I'll probably be going to some Phillies games pretty soon, and will definitely be bringing the 3DS with me. Disappointing that you didn't get any in the stadium though.ThingontheFloor said:
I'll probably take the long way around the concourse (or maybe a full lap) just to increase my chances...
I am definitely changing how I walk around with this thing - its kind of creepy but also kind of cool. If I'm on one side of the street and I see a bunch of nerdy looking people (or kids) on the other side I try to cross the street to walk past them without looking like a complete stalker.
I also caught myself checking out a conspicuous bulge in some dude's pocket to see if it was the right size and shape
for a 3DS.

I left in the car because I didn't really have a bag handy to tote it around and my pants weren't equipped to handle it. Next time though, the post earlier about getting some 3D shots from the crowd sounds pretty awesome.

HOLY SHIT GUYS I GOT A HIT TODAY
Tetsuya from Maryland, hello!
Tetsuya from Maryland, hello!
Up to 4 now, most of mine seem to be from commuter points or bus & train stations with one from an electronics store trip.
It's good fun, but now I've got past the initial buzz I'm not going to deliberately hang around certain places to get them. It seems to work best just by chilling in bus/train station cafes.

Either there's a lot of gender confused guys out there with 3DSes or Nintendo's doing a great job marketing the thing to women because 3 of my 5 hits are female Miis.

Now to truly test this on the campus of UAA. Should've done it last week, but I was pretty sick, blah. So far nothing.
I spent a few hours this afternoon in the central area of my city shopping and got three hits. Two from Gamestop and one from someone called "shana". One of the Gamestop Miis had "trade in your games" as their greeting. Mine was worse though, I randomly put in "memento mori" as a greeting. It was kind of horrific seeing these little animated dudes waddle up to my Mii plaza and wave and my Mii standing there with a big grin on his face reminding them of their mortality. Should probably change that before I head out next time.

Try squeezing them together while each system is pocketed, and rubbing them together lightly. Sometimes you need to jiggle them a bit too. This also seems to work better with a lot of witnesses.
In all seriousness, did you make sure to boot up the Mii Plaza and get your settings right? And your WiFi lights are both on? Sorry if those are dumb questions, but I walked around for hours hoping for hits before I realized I hadn't enabled StreetPass in the Mii Plaza settings yet. I've also gone out Mii hunting and found later that I had my WiFi disabled, possibly from flipping the physical switch by accident.

Levels are determined by how many times you pass a person. So if you get a repeat passer, they'll gain a level in Find Mii.

Yes except the guy who I streetpassed today had the same puzzle as me. =(DoctorWho said:
DoctorWho said:
There's 7 total puzzles (105 total pieces), if you StreetPass with someone who has a piece from a panel you haven't seen yet (and then select that piece) you will be able to see that panel from then on.
I've completed all the puzzles already, hope they add more via system update.

Ah, I was wondering how many puzzles there were. Okay, then I only have four more tiles to grab before I've totally completed it.Struct09 said:
I got a hit whilst in the car the other day. Totally surprised me! I spend a long bus and train journey going to and from work, getting nothing, then randomly whilst sat in the car *bing* green light!
Anyway, I attended MeetMii's first meeting at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, UK on Saturday. Report can be found here, for anyone interested

Went to Gamestop in Carrollton, GA today and set up the Streetpass on the demo unit with my roommate. Seems like I'm getting desperate on getting Streetpasses right now.
Also saw a guy in class with a 3DS, but I guess he didn't have Streetpass set up or his wireless was off. I'll make sure on Wednesday to tell him to turn it on.

Why would you do that?

I hit 4 people today. Surprised me greatly. Curiously, I hit one girl/woman in the subway somewhere. Most I hit in college, though.

Brought it to the Marlins/Mets game in South Florida this past Saturday and not one hit ANYWHERE. I was very surprised.
But I got my first hit today at my college campus. Good times.

I got a hit yesterday from a Gamestop. Apparently he's an import gamer because the last game he played was some Japanese game (Dorasu)

My brother got a 3DS today, what's to stop us Streetpassing daily until we have lvl.7 versions of each other meaning we can just blow through Find Mii?
I don't want to do this btw, I just think it'll get annoying that we exchange each other every time we both switch wireless on. Is there anything that stops this? (besides blocking each other which would obviously be a crazy thing to do)

I also got the bonus code for SF4 and guess what? Yep, Blanka.

Heading underground, through a major train station/subway concourse, then through a mall (including a rifle through the GameStop bargain bin). Wonder what my chances are...

Still nothing. Then again, I'm only in Bemidji in Minnesota and haven't hit up major potential hot spots like colleges or game stores yet.

Got another 6 people's Miis today. And 2 more SSF4 battles! One of the battles was with the same guy from yesterday. I'm owning him! I love this thing.

Got my first Streetpass today! Took my 3DS with me to a shopping centre and ended up getting the Mii of the guy who served me in GAME. Pity I didn't get his more attractive female colleague 
It's genuinely exciting to walk around trying to scope out in advance who you think will be carrying a 3DS.
