BTW (sorry for soubd post) Thanks for the responses guys! ANy games you can recommend? There are a ton of DS games that i have not played yet either

GOOOD DEAL

yes...

This is a very good deal. The Ambassador games and built in software alone are almost worth that price.

As for recommended games, it depends on whether you can stand remakes and ports. At the moment, Street Fighter and Ocarina of Time are probably the best games on the platform, even though they're enhanced versions of console games. I personally would just wait to buy the biggies like Mario, Sonic, and Shinobi in a couple of months.

I am sure there is going to be a new iteration of the 3DS; but whether it will be a massive redesign or cosmetic one will depend on sales up to March 2012.  If the 3DS continue to sell well (which since the price cut has been the market leader and seems headed for that direction) the redesign might be a minor or even cosmetic one.  I don't see Nintendo splitting the market and taking further loss on hardware by offering dual analogs if the system sells 12-14 mil units by the end of the fiscal year.  It would be foolish (though Nintendo has been foolish before) and costly to redisgn the 3DS and split their market regardless of what anyone says.  Also, I don't see the redesign coming sooner than Fall 2012 so that would be quite a wait.  I hope one thing Nintendo does change or offer is a better battery pak to increase the 3DS playtime.  Nyko offers one and I'm sure Nintendo is fully capable also.

Right now it's a bit of a slow period for 3DS but I can recomend OoT, SF4, SMT Devil Surviovr Overclocked and Star Fox. Games are starting to ramp up with winter from both 3rd party and 1st..

Bad deal, IMO. I can't see accepting a 3DS for less than $200, so you should hold out for more.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you.

You could have just caught to the chase and made this a bragging thread.

How the hell could that not be a good deal?
