Forums - Nintendo Discussion - No Charger Included!? Seriously!?

Is this the stupidest move ever or is this the stupidest move ever? What is Nintendo thinking exactly?



Around the Network

They have done the same thing with the 3DS and 3DS XL...
Atleast here in europe.

Yeah it's such a cheap thing to leave out. Like what are they saving on each system by doing this? This is like Sony and MS not having an HDMI with their 7th gen systems except much worse because instead of having SD instead of HD you're missing an ESSENTIAL part of your system which it can't function (for very long) without.

They are thinking $199 looks a lot better than $219 (or however much the charger costs their)
Plus they are saving money of current owners of one so really its best for the consumer.
Is it that hard to grab a charger too if you need it??



Sarcasm or just a lame complaint?



Around the Network

Yeah, They cost like less than 3 dollars to make.
Though I guess they imagine that a lot of people have a DSi/XL/3DS/XL charger lying around.

You're kidding me right? Both those excuses are weak. If you think a simple plastic charger is worth $20 then you're insane. And this isn't doing previous owners any favours. There are people out there who would like having more than one charger.



Same exact thing they with with 3DS XL.
Its the same charger as other 3DS models so users upgrading already have one,
and you can just buy one for a couple bucks.

I was wondering the same...

A lot of people already have a charger, so there is no real need to include one.

It makes the thing cheaper for the consumer as well, so I don't really see the problem.

Let's boycott them and buy as many chargers as we can so nobody will be able to buy them. Maybe scalp them for lots of monies while we're at it.
