How is passing along costs onto consumers for something most companies would eat the cost for not money-grubbing?

I just don't see it as money-grubbing.  If a company wants to release a cheaper version of something that's missing some components, aimed at the people who might not need it just to save a few bucks, and to throw in a free game as well... I just don't see anything terribly wrong with that.

You're assuming they're passing that cost savings onto the consumer (i.e. they would charge the customer more for the 3DS if they had to ship it with a charge cable). I can almost guarantee you they did not do that. It would have cost the same if they weren't money grabbing asshats and threw in a charger that probably costs them less than 30 cents to pack in.
