Forums - Gaming - GameStop drops 3DS price to $150 right before Vita launch, is this going to happen everywhere?

This price cut is could be only on Gamestop's part. They hate anything that sell all retails games online and encourages a future of digital downloads.
And if thats true then.... yeah it's probably a sign Gamestop wants 3ds to succeed and Vita dead :/


Wondering if Nintendo has the online plattform to be able to sell digital games. They may be getting the support of retailers and then in mid-gen also offer digital sales, quite trollish from their part, but a good move indeed.

Its only a temporary price drop guys, we are only doing it for a short period.

And its not that we prefer Nintendo, we've been doing a massive company wide push on Vita for the past 3 months. In fact Vita is going to have a better launch than I originally thought just because of how big an initiative Gamestop has gotten behind it.



I'm not sure if I like the new, aggressive Nintendo :o They used to be so friendly :(

Can you do something to make the PSV fail hard? Please.

Sabotage the store demo Vitas so that they catch fire and burn down all the Gamestops.

Darn... I should have wrote about this! >_



I think they're only going to have this $150 price for a month. I can't see them lowering the price again even if it's only by $20. If this really is for 1 month only then that's pretty smart seeing that the Vita is launching this month.



Newegg also drops price of 3DS to $149.99.

Wow. So, the question is if they dropped the price in order to compete with Gamestop or because of orders from Nintendo ;)

Don't know why Nintendo is so scared. Are Vita pre-orders really high or something?


This isn't Nintendo it's GameStop...

Why exactly would Gamestop try to lower the sales of a different product that they are selling? lol
