I did too but to me it does not matter because I get three of my favorite games from the GBA for free. Rather than paying what? 10 Dollars?

Yeah. The total free value we get I expect to be between $100 and $130. Well worth buying it at full price in my opinion.Wolf421 wrote: I did too but to me it does not matter because I get three of my favorite games from the GBA for free. Rather than paying what? 10 Dollars?

Agreed. 20 free NES and Gameboy games? Now that's definitely worth the $250 i spent. well technically 277 because of tax.Wolf421 wrote: I did too but to me it does not matter because I get three of my favorite games from the GBA for free. Rather than paying what? 10 Dollars?

Definitely. I got a bit mad but didn't want to make a huge scene. Dang those California Tax rates... >__>Moriarty wrote:Lots of tax much?

that makes no sense, they should RELEASE GOOD GAMES instead of lowering the price because, if nothing else, the 3DS by itself is damn impressive and worth the price.
also, Star Fox 64 3D has no Wi-fi? Ok? Star Fox 64's multiplayer sucked so that's a non-issue. Maybe if it wasn't the best 1-3 hours in gaming I would care more?

Re: Nintendo 3DS anyone???
I believe that they cut the price because many aren't buying the 3DS. A couple of good games have risen sales but not enough apparently. Over the next years there will be more games that will definitely rise the sales of the 3DS. Mario Kart is one along with Residant Evil. I agree with you though, $250 is definitely worth all of the awesome things on the 3DS.kkslider5552000 wrote:SONOFA-wait whatranger wrote:lol kkslider bought this at fullprice lolGinRei wrote: 3DS to get worldwide price cut August 12th. $170 in North America (down $80), 15,000 yen in Japan (down 10,000 yen).

Re: Nintendo 3DS anyone???
Yeah, probably. 250 was a fair price all things considering. I'm not too sure of it myself, but wasn't the DS also in a similar boat when it got released like 6 years ago?Gintoki23 wrote:I believe that they cut the price because many aren't buying the 3DS.
