Firstly, it's new 3ds not new 3ds xl...

Oh. Thanks for the correction.

Secondly, as expected, it's sold out ( aren't you observant?), what were you expecting?

That bundle may be sold out, but there are other SKUs. The regular black N3DSXL was on the charts for a good while last month, but even it's AWOL. The 3DS in general got a good boost with Pokemon and Fire Emblem, but now it's dead again on the charts.

 

Only third party sellers have it, which usually sell it by order, they don't really, have stock (the overwhelming majority).  These third party sellers sell it by 100+ dollars up from the normal price... Filthy profiteers...

It's new 3ds and nintendo hasn't released it normally (NOA had stated that they wouldn't release it in the USA , just the xl version,  disgruntling many people, who were wanting the small version and weren't willing to settle for the big version.)

However, they started releasing it sporadically, bundled with a new game, with the game themed face plates but at  moderate amounts.

First,  it was back in september with animal crossing happy home designer, and as you know, recently with the first pokemon games for the 20th year anniversary.

It has been sold out everywhere , which is logic, new 3ds ( to whom, the demand is strong for obvious reasons, the dedicated thread about the newly bundle on gaf is extremely popular, and lately i read  tons of complaints by a lot of people who can't find it or it was hard to locate one.) combined with pokemon red and blue, blastoise & charizard faceplates for the special date, at a lower by 30 dollars price than the ACHHD bundle.
