If the free 20 games were DS or N64 games then hell yeah. But since these are NES games and GBA... no thanks. I stopped playing those back in the 90s.

I didn't know GBA existed during the 90s...

It was such a long time ago. My brain has been fried by Nintendo.

I happened to look at Walmart.com just now and noticed they have the 3DS up for preorder now...and it says that it ships on the 12th.
So...at least on-line their still going with the 12th.

hey guys i wonder if this is worth the buy at walmart with the 20 free games? i know it prolly varies for everybody, but i know i can just get this tax free at amazon for $169 without the games or pay a extra $ tax at walmart which basically mean i bought the 20 games. is it worth it? and do u think there will be deals that will go better than this past aug 12?? :/ cant decide whether to buy it now or later

You're basically paying $17 then to get approximately $100 worth of classic game downloads. If you have absolutely no interest in classic games or no interest in downloadable games then this is just likely not the time for you to buy a 3DS. At that point, you should wait for a Christmas or Black Friday bundle with a game you are interested in.

However, if you are just going to buy the on 9th from Walmart OR buy on the 12th from Amazon, you might as well spend the extra $17 for the games, especially since 10 of them are going to be exclusive to Ambassadors for the foreseeable future. And since there are several that have still not been announced, you may find that you are interested in at least one of them.

...Shit.

That could either be a good thing (hyping sales for the inevitable Tuesday price drop) or a bad thing (they actually bothered to change SKUs, ing over the price adjusters).

AND.....Now....they have completely pulled ALL of the Nintendo 3DS from the web site...I guess they are trying to avoid refunding the 80 dollars...at least for on-line orders

If Walmart are doing the price drop for the 9th because they don't want to deal with a horde of price drops, props and very smart haha Walmart is "business > hassle."

The weekly ad shows nothing of the price drop, and nothing of the 3ds period. Walmart.com pulled the WHOLE 3ds category completely. You click on Nintendo 3ds and it has some sorry your search bla bla message. I bet they are redoing the whole section hopefully for a Tuesday release.

Any possible update from your source CheapyD? Things still looking the same for Tuesday?

Well if the weekly ad doesn't have anything in it, there goes the idea of price matching at Best Buy early.

Bullocks.

Sources can be wrong: The thread

*GULP*

I really hope this is just cocking of the gun prior to the rumored sale and not the first move toward a retraction of the entire deal.

Still not buying one. I want more than a remake player with a 3hour battery life. Even Cheapy said the 3D effect was not terribly impressive and gimmicky.

I'd really rather not buy something just to play games I still own on it anyway, even if they're a smidge prettier.

It was never that likely. Those ad papers are finalized at least a month ahead of time.

Hey CheapyD, Screw Attack just showed your deal on their channel!
