[quote name='nhlducks35']Has anyone's copy shipped yet?[/QUOTE]

Mine hasn't, and I ordered mine around the price changed. I chose the free shipping though. So I assume they do my order after people that chose the better shipping.

[quote name='nhlducks35']Has anyone's copy shipped yet?[/QUOTE]

I ordered mine within 10 min of it dropping and I got the your item has shipped email around 8:30 am pacific time. It was shipped expedited since I am a silver member so that might be why i got the shipping notice so fast

[quote name='aaronrodgers']*drools* that looks amazing.[/QUOTE]

I just got it today and I'm really amazed by the larger screen. I have a DSI Xl so I was surprised by how taken aback I was by the screen size. I'm now glad I held out on buying a 3DS until now

They rarely, if ever, offer anything good on Blu Ray. They had the Godfather Trilogy for like $25 or $30 a while back but it's not too hard to find it online at that price, I paid slightly more than that (due to shipping) for it months ago. Otherwise it's always $5 for a ton of crappy movies.

I did order the Spirit when that was on sale as a daily deal (a week ago I think), and just got my email last night telling me it was backordered . I'm not in any rush to get my hands on it or anything, just don't understand why it took them so long to notify me that it was backordered. So yeah, good luck to those of you who had KI shipped...

That Looney tunes collection was great at $25. Yeah it took awhile for me to recieve it but for the $13 (I had some credit on a gc) I paid Im happy.

 

[Thrinn]

[quote name='slidecage']what is the STAND for anyways ??[/QUOTE]

The game has a control scheme where it requires you to position your hands in a manner which makes it a bit difficult to support the weight of the system. It also helps keep the screen from bouncing around as you play so you don't lose the 3D effect. Here is a pic of how you play the game.

 

[haveacigar_46]

Waiting for some crazy deals around Black Friday like last year when I got Bulletstorm for 7.99 haha I did bite on Resistance 3 awhile ago on DotD for 10 bucks.

Yeah I heard about this one but was out of town when it hit so I never bothered to look at it. I thought the collections they were offering were the same collections that Amazon is/was offering for around $25 (some of them less)?

Then again maybe I'm wrong, there have been SO many Looney Toons collections released, I just can't keep track.

This official DS wrist strap worked fairly well as a thumb stylus, though it might obstruct the screen a bit more than using a pen stylus would.

there's a square piece of plastic with a rounded edge that was designed to be fastened to your thumb by sliding the rectangular piece down while thumb was over the square viola! thumb stylus on a wrist strap so you don't lose it

9/7 - Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

I'm not sure of the prices since the employee who told me this didn't have time to look it up in the computer (helping another customer).

Yep, $9.99 on 8/7. They had Star Wars Old Republic on 8/10 for $9.99 also. Seems like BB is re-doing them exactly one month later, if I had to guess they might sell for $4.99 each.

 

[Solder]

Off topic, but hoping tomorrows deal involves a laptop since I'm in the market for one.

Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully, they'll be 4.99 like you said. Otherwise, a repeat in the cycle. :lol:

I was under the impression they discontinued these things because they scratched up the touchscreen really quick.

I'm going to doubt this is correct. I'm gonna guess your employee looked at last months by accident. The news update doesn't come through the system until later in the day thursday/friday. Not saying 100% he's incorrect, but I wouldn't get your hopes up/dashed yet.

I just use my thumb on the touch screen. And I noticed that compared to the original DS the 3DS screen seems more durable. I don't feel like my thumb is going to break it.

If they discontinued it, is there a similiar replacement?

 

[Kovorkian]

Mine never scratched up my screen I used it regularly with Dawn of Sorrow using seals and other games were approximate quick movements were needed

I don't think mine every scratched my screen. I thought they just stopped including it because only "Mario 64 DS" and "Metroid Prime Hunters" were the only games that really used it.

I never found this useful for mario... however I may have to revisit metroid now, controls were wonky, this may make it more enjoyable

I was cleaning out some junk today and actually found that DS wrist strap. I'm going to throw it out unless someone on here wants it free (just pay shipping).

BestBuy might end up canceling your order because for a couple of my orders whenever it took forever to receive a confirmation email they would just cancel my order.

 

[ChunLiBarbie]

I wonder when Street Fighter X Tekken is going to pop up as a DOTD. They had their chance with the @Gamer coupon. LMFAO at it, STILL, being $39.99. If they have it for $14.99 or lower Regular Edition/$19.99 Special Edition, maybe I'll bite.

I'd sooner see a RR:Unbounded as a DOTD than SFxT.
Not that it won't happen, KI:U was a surprise considering its a Nintendo brand.

Missed out on The earlier deals On SSX, would Like to pick that up on the low. SSX for PS2 was a great game.

[quote name='liquidussnakeus']Still waiting for SSX 2012 to get into this.[/QUOTE]
I just finished SSX and it was a big letdown for me. So many of the tracks are riddled with blind pitfalls and you can't quickly tap a button to reset your character back on to the track. Instead, you have to use the rewind feature which just plain sucks. Simply put, in SSX, if you make a mistake, you should just restart the event.

SSX 3 is still the best extreme sports game ever made.
