Does it end on the 12th or after the 12th? the sticky is giving me mixed answers. These are copy and pasted directly from it:

"Anyone who connects or has connected their 3DS to the eShop before 11th August becomes a 3DS Ambassador. Part of this involves getting free games to say thank you/apologise for the price cut."

and

"If you buy or register your 3DS after 12th August, you are not eligible for these free games. These are for customers who purchase and connect their console before that date."

Which one is it? If I buy on on the 12th will I still be eligible?

How is that a mixed answer?

Anyone who connects or has connected their 3DS to the eShop before 11th August becomes a 3DS Ambassador

If you buy or register your 3DS after 12th August, you are not eligible for these free games.

The article...

"These free games are available to anyone who owns a Nintendo 3DS system and uses a wireless broadband Internet signal to connect to the Nintendo eShop at least once before 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Aug. 11. These users will automatically be registered in the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador program."

Isn't it specifically 11:59 pm Eastern Time on August 11th for North America, and the same time for Europe, but Central European time?

Wow. Wooooow. How is that confusing? If you buy before the 12th you're an ambassador. If you buy after you're not. And you don't know if you can be an ambassador after?

It's 11:59pm 11 AUG for whatever region your 3DS is (and if your region has multiple timezones, whichever is notified)

Bluh, I don't have consistent internets right now. If I have already connected to the eShop some weeks ago, am I eligible? Or will it have to be some time soon I connect?

Tc has a point the way that is worded is incorrect. it SHOULD say if you buy or register your 3DS after the 11th you are not an ambassador.
