I had stopped by the local Walmart yesterday for groceries, and I saw they had a few of both colors in the glass case. Very tempted to stop by today and pick one up.

Checked the two stores in Marietta, GA this morning. All scanned in at $249.99. Is there anything I can do to help them make the price change? Something in particular to say?

Went in to the Manville, NJ store in a rush on my way to work and rang up $249. Rather than missing my train for an override, I figured I'll just go in later for a price adjustment or return it and repurchase it later on my way home after they lower the price.

They had like 10 of each BTW.

Confirmed as of 8:00 a.m. in Wilmington, NC (Monkey Junction). They seemed to have plenty in stock and I was the only person in the electronics area. She told me I could return it within 15 days if my kid didn't like it....jerk.

I just got mine in Exton, Pa. They had to get the Electronics Dept person for me. She didn't believe that the price had dropped and asked how sure I was and where I got the info. She then started scrolling through her "gun computer" and eventually found it. She proceeded to print out new labels which she stuck in the case, and scanned one additional bar code before she could ring me up. ...As I was leaving someone else was walking up to the counter to ask about the price drop...

just got back from my local walmart in richmond indiana. they have dropped the price of the 3ds to 169.99. i picked up a 3ds with zelda and resident evil! they had 5 black and five teal!

Anyone gonna try for a price match at BB at 10am when they open? I'm fine to do the price adjustment if so on the 12th but wondering if anyone will have success

Stopped at the Cary and Apex, NC stores on my way in this morning. Still scanned at $249.99. Cary had a couple of each color. Apex didn't have any in their case, don't know about in the back.

Success at W*M in Amherst, NH. The Dept. manager was in the process of revising the price when I arrived! They had both black and blue, plenty on hand of both.

Got one in Starkville, MS. Wasn't reflected before 8:00, but did after. Price was updated, and I snagged mine at the reduced price. The cashier said she knew they would drop the price, given the way they were selling. There was an initial rush, but it was pretty slow going after that.

Thanks, CheapyD, and to your unnamed yet reliable source!

Now to actually buy a game... gonna swing by the local salvage store, they had a few games in there. At the very least, I may be able to take a few copies of Nintendogs and save some money towards OoT or something similar.

Got one teal in Corpus Christi!! They have like 15 in stock. Went there 7:45 and they were in the process of changing the prices. They are still doing the Buy 1 get 40% off on 3ds games at ToysRUs if anyone is interested.

Thanks CheapyD!

And Target has Ubisoft 3DS games for $17.00 as well...though I've heard the only one worthwhile is Ghost Recon. I may try to get my price adjustment today. I'll just have to make sure my Wal-Mart has actually lowered the price first before I have the Best Buy CS rep call over there.

got it in roanoke va, they had to have a manager come and do the price drop

The Ames, IA Walmart (the super one, like we need two walmarts in this town) is good to go. The even had the rollback signs in the case saying the price was dropped. Had a few left of each color.

I'm going to try to PM at BB soon, but I'm predicting pain.

It worked for me in Omaha, NE. They had tons of them and the price label still said $250 but it was $170 when the guy rang it up, here's my receipt if you still need proof.

It was no-go in NC. An Aqua Blue 3DS scanned at full price with the hand scanner. I did receive a free, condescending talking-down about pricing from the employee, and how it was highly improbable that the 3DS was getting a price rollback. I should have known they could never do anything right or on-time at my local Walmart.

A winner is me at the Dunvale location in Houston. Had to have the Asst Manager override it but she knew exactly what I was talking about when the Electronics dept guy asked. Thanks Cheapy!
