I didn't know about that until after I had left the store but I don't think I would have liked to play Ghost Recon on my 3DS when I have never played the console versions.

Depends. My little brother had a crystal hardshell but if something gets in there it can scratch the surface. It might be ok for older people who keep dirt away but I wouldn't use one since I saw that.

The 3DS Ghost Recon is absolutely nothing like the console ones by the way.

I imagine that is the case but I don't want to get an impression of a game and then get a completely different thing on the console. I am going to do some research on it and maybe I'll go back and pick it up.

Showing in-stock and $169 price for all South Bay, CA Targets that I called.

I picked up the Nyko PowerPak today. It makes holding it easier if you have big hands. The back cover is soft instead of the slippery plastic Nintendo back cover.

Been thinking of getting the powerpak.

Does it make the system noticeably heavier? Does it work with the stock charger or do you need to buy a new charger?

Despite not considering this a "deal":

- You're not "getting" any actual games, but rather a DRMed service / lease.
- Still a relatively high MSRP.
- Launch model of a Nintendo handheld.
- Still region-locked.

I'm interested in any early adopter club put out by Nintendo (Nintendo Fun Club, anyone?) and wondering what else I get as an ambassador.

I picked up the last black 3DS from Target.

How long should the update take? It's taking forever on this hotel's Wi-Fi and it keeps erroring out.

the firmware update should only take a few minutes (3-5)

you might want to search out a restaurant that offers unsecured internet access vs. the hotel connection. I've always found them dodgy at best

Well a lot of you are late on Excitebike (free for early adopters) but it was cool to see what a Nintendo Classic in 3D would look like.

It makes the 3DS noticeably heavier but gives a better grip on the system especially for people with larger hands. Well worth the extra heft.

It does work with the stock charger but not the charge base. Nyko sells a base along with the Power Pak for several bucks more though.

Wait...we WILL be able transfer the downloaded games over to the eventual 3DS lite?! I thought it was tied to the system for some reason.

~$185 total (including tax) for a handheld? An Xbox 360 or Wii can be found for around the same price. $120 is the sweet spot for me. To those who picked it up already, enjoy it! I'm too cheap to pull the trigger right now. :P

They're tied to the system in the sense that you can't re-download the games on another 3DS. They better have a way to transfer games to another 3DS model or they're basically insuring that few people update.

I really like Mario's picross, Qix, and Legend of Zelda Link's awakening.

I'm sure someone already posted this but I checked today and Target had the 3DS also listed and displayed with a $169.99 price tag, jumped on it since I had a gift card for $50 from them, I didn't pick up any games, going to Ebay to see what games are available there, also will pick up a case and screen protector since I heard that the bottom screen scratches the top screen when shut closed, thanks Cheapy for the early info on this deal, would have waited for Black Friday for a deal but I want to get thee free games, hopefully some good ones, one last thing doesn anyone know if i can watch youtube on the 3ds?

I love all these constant reminders of how I got raped on the price just 2 weeks before the price drop was announced.

I know the feeling. It happened to me with the Gamecube...

I think I am going to be using my 3DS a lot to watch Netflix in bed since I can't always use my 360 or laptop, that way I can use my iPhone to do other things.
