 Mexican gamer here and no about the US eshop... we get Mexican, over-inflated prices and next to no discounts, ever.

 

The 3DS is a great gaming platform tho. I haven't cared about gaming consoles in months due to the 3DS greatness :)

That sucks, can't you register your console as a US one? I did that with my Wii so I could get the Club Nintendo rewards.

Nice to see people are happy with their 3DS's, encouraging for me

Hello trestres, i am from Brasil and here we have the same problem with the prices, the Brasil e-shop prices are the same as the stores.

But some niche, low selling or ubisoft games are cheaper than buying in US. For example: Scribblenauts Unlimited, Rayman Origins, LEGO:Lord of the Rings, Code of Princess, Etrian Odyssey IV and a few others.

You can, if you want, set your country to US and this way you have access to the US e-shop, that is what i do to get the free games for nintendo points.

I didnt try to buy games from the US e-shop yet, but many people told me that it is not possible to do it because NOA verifies if the credit card is from US. But it is possible to buy from the Canada e-shop, the prices are similar, the credit card is not verified, but you will have to pay some Canada taxes. I don't know if it is worth it to you because your extra 20%. But here in Brasil is cheaper than buy in stores.
