DAMN YOU CAG!
I already have 2 DS's and both games but I bit on the Nintendogs one anyway. Just too good to pass up - the free toy cinched it, actually, as my kids love those Magnetix toys.
Here's my invoice:
Subtotal of Items: $119.97
Shipping & Handling: $7.42
Shipping Savings: -$2.93
Promotion Applied: -$19.99
------
Total for this Order: $104.47
Sweet... I guess the "shipping savings" was free shipping for the Magnetix toy. $5 shipping for a DS ain't bad at all. Plus I would consider the Magnetix to be worth about $10, so I figure I'm paying $95 for the DS bundle - I don't think any clearance even after the lite comes out will be able to beat that.
Like everyone else I was hoping to sell the Nintendogs game on eBay (already have Dachschund and never play it anyway), but I have a feeling that will not be a good option in the near future. However, if we wait a month or two I'm sure the price will go back up again.
I'm also trying ro figure out what I'm going to do with a 3rd DS, especially since I wanted to pick up a lite eventually
k... I guess I can give another to the kids and we can do some 3-player local wireless.
What is wierd is that I have never heard of this Electric Blue Nintendogs bundle before. Is this brand new (as opposed to the Teal and Pink which were around just before Christmas)? If that is the case I would expect the price on the Nintedogs game to drop anyway, regardless of this sale.
Shady - just saw your message. That is sweet if the fatwalleters are going to sell the whole bundle. Let them at it. I bet most end up making $10 tops. Even before Christmas the Teal Nintendogs bundle wasn't getting too much (maybe $20 over retail). However, if you yanked the game out and sold it with all the goodies (dog bone cleaner, etc) as I did, you made $90 or so. That's how I got my current Teal DS for about $60 out of pocket.
