Yikes. 3DS went from very expensive to really cheap. Sounds like I won't have to wait as long for one as I had initially thought.
That 20 games deal actually makes me think about getting it before the pricecut. >_>

Cool, yay me @ waiting

I'm pretty sure if Vita was expensive the pricecut wouldn't have been so big though.

Now Nintendo, MARKET IT!! Make a large marketing campaing and make it different than DS

$170.00 starting August 12th in NA. Lol. Just goes to show how much they were price gouging their fans.

Too bad Nintendo. Your software still sucks. So i'm still not purchasing it. I'm not buying remakes of games I already have.

Twenty free games. I'd felt so bitter at first, but this makes it somewhat digestible.

So if you buy a used 3DS at a good price you will still get the 20 free games. Hurry before they take them down at the online shops lol.

I would do that if I wasn't living where I live.

Why buy now, another 6months and it might be free :D

Why wait 6 months when you could wait 12 and they'll give $100 on top?

the main problem with the 3ds, is that nintendo failed with the marketing of the device. nintendo market the device as another upgrade to the DS, so DS owners see the add and go "nah already have the DS" They should have called the 3ds the gameboy and that would have solved the problem.

the same is happening with the WiiU. It looks too familiar to the wii and looks more like an upgrade for the wii itself.

The GC beat it.

This wasn't about hurting early adopters. The original quoted person was mainly implying that the 3DS's ill-performance was unprecedented if you judge it by how early a price cut occurs. I think that my GC example is very relevant in this context.
