Birthday is coming up, and I am still seriously pondering between this or an XL. Hmmm... Decisions decisions. Any in put? I do enjoy the Fire Emblem series, and seeing how Monster Hunter is only a few weeks away with no signs of an Exclusive Bundle, I am seriously considering this.

What i meant about the club points is u get non for having a digital copy of the game. But correct me if wrong in that.
I want to mention that i got a full protection skinomi dry apply stuff and used a 60% off code for $8 and covered the console up. I didnt use the screen ones though. Bought Hori branded screen prots for that. I will reuse the foam paper thing that came with the console to cushion the two screens when closed in addition to screen protectors.
As for the charge dock/cradle. I ordered one from the nintendo store
store.nintendo.com
They re $4 each plus shipping($2 for me in CA).

I absolutely love this console and i am glad i can play US games on it and didnt have to import a japanese console. I was waiting to see if those flash cards would break the copy protection so i can play US games on a japanese cobalt console. But i am much more pleased to have a US version plus i would have access to the eshop.

If you have your account synced with your DS, yes you should get the same points for the digital copy...though I'm not sure how these systems with the game preloaded works.

DS games look just fine on the 3DS XL. In fact, this system has gotten me back into a lot of my DS library just because I get to play them on such a beautiful screen.

The native resolution of the 3DS screen is different from that of the DS. Because of this, DS games are upscaled to match the resolution of the screen. If you hold down start + select, the game will load in a smaller window at the native DS resolution. I am not bothered in the least bit by the smaller window, but I can definitely tell when I am running a DS game upscaled. Games have a washed out, jaggy appearance.

Just make your club nintendo account a family one and set up a sub-account within that and you'll get the points. Not at all difficult.

The preloaded Wii U games were registered to club nintendo accounts. No reason why this won't be the same. All digital games have the same coin value as retail.

Also the cash equivalent of nintendo coins is small. You can buy a $10 game for 200 coins or a $5 game for 150 coins, so at $.05 per coin, at 50 coins the added value is a maximum of $2.50, which you can only spend on what's available on nintendo's website if you have enough vouchers to redeem.

I received my dock charger today. only $6 after shipping in CA

linked for people who bought this Fire Emblem Bundle since it does not come with the dock.

So is this OOS yet at all retail stores? I'm waiting!

I checked the links in the first page. none of them seem to have it anymore. the gamestop page is taken down. i would say, this is now officially rare from Toys R Us, Gamestop, and newegg.

HAHA. googled the bundle and found that Walmart has it in stock for store pick up or Fedex pickup.

Walmart

This is probably the last store to be able to pick it up easily without having to call around or drive around to find one.

I think it is officially out of stock from the look of things. Might be able to find a gamestop with 1 or 2 left.

Edit: Spoke too soon.

Gamestop's website has neither the game or bundle listed, only the digital copy of FE

Ugh so tempted, but was planning on buying an XL some time in May...maybe I'll just pray for a NA special edition of something

im selling an xl with fire emblem and 8 other games over at the auction forum section if anyones interested, thanks

I was about to list Hastings as a retailer that still had the bundle in stock, but it looks like they've finally ran out in the past day or two. Very odd how Gamestop seems to have completely removed their listing for it, too. Wonder if this means they're not going to receive any more.

I purchased it from hastings on Friday, it was still available for purchase this morning but now when I check my order it says out of stock.. lame that it still let me purchase when they were out of stock and were still in stock for 3 days after

You'll most likely still receive your order - Hastings always lists the items you bought as out of stock if you check them on your order details page, even if they're still available for order when you search their site. If you haven't received a cancellation email yet, I'll be surprised if you don't get it.
