Wow, the price on the 3DS has been gutted since launch . . . started at 250, dropped to 170 within a few months, and now being blown out for 130-145 . . . and you know these systems are not being sold at a loss for the most part (particularly buy.com, unless they are literally dumping them), which means Nintendo is subsidizing the sales. I do think a redesigned system is coming in early 2012 (2nd analog pad, bigger screen, etc.), especially based on these blowout sales of a brand new handheld. Unbelievable!
