seems like i can change the zip code easily to avoid being taxed on the eshop games, but like you, there's only 1 game i want, and no way i'm giving a credit/bank card number to any place i don't have to.
i bought my OoT 3D from a guy here for 26$ and he had master quest unlocked. i was so grateful, as i have played regular OoT campaign on every platform it's been released on. it is amazing. i'm at the very beginning (1st vist to the Market & finding owner of Lon Lon Ranch on way to castle last night), but i still am amazed at how much they changed in the houses, and the 3D is sweet. you won't regret it (but you already knew that).
thanks for the heads up on the $ card. where did you buy it? no stores i've checked have any yet. best buy had the first pics of the cards so i went there, gamestop, game xchange, walmart, and target, but that was a few days before i posted in your thread before. also, lmk if it charges you tax when you try to buy something. from dealing with psn store, i've learned that oregon doesn't charge taxes on online purchases, so i put an oregon zip code, then switch back to texas when done, lol.
lmk how the gbc zelda is when you get it (and if that's really a chain chomp in the pic on the eshop for that game). take care.
