i think it only was $20

I corrected itbut yes it got a $20 discount.

Uh... PSP and DS came out around the same time.

And second, you can go ahead and put this whole thing to rest.

Satoru Iwata, Nintendo president: "If it is predetermined that the hardware price shall gradually decrease, then that model reiterates the notion that early purchasers will suffer a loss, which I do not believe is the right business model. I believe that something must be wrong if we conduct our business with the premise that we will need to cut prices of our hardware as time goes on."
