Found next weeks flyer at BB today. the blue/black, red/black, and pink/white 3DS XL's will be on sale for $159.99 Dec 9th thru 15th. I tried to get the price matched today but the salesperson wouldnt go for it. so I paid the $200 and I'll go back and get the price match sunday.

I'd rather pay the $160, have a choice of colors and have a real copy of Mario Kart 7 than be the downloadable bundle it comes with. So this works out.

Nice!!! Time to try to sell my 3DS this week. I've been looking to upgrade to the XL.

Is the XL with Mario Kart 7 included in this deal?

This is such a great deal, but must resist....I still have to beat my ambassador games and I'll never let my Zelda 3DS go.

Boo! Oh well, I have MK7 already, so I'll just wait until next week to get the XL for $160 instead of spending the $200 and getting a $20 gift card.

Tempting. Did you take a peek at any other deals?

Yeah I know, wish there was a way to transfer those games....

Is there a way to transfer those games? Definitely hit this deal if there was.

If only I didn't buy an XL with my GS credit, I would've jumped on this.

To save just $15 more, it might be worth it for me to return my Target red 3DS XL now that I got for $175.

At that price, I'll take the digital Mario Kart 7 bundle.

For what it's worth I definitely like my XL a lot more then the regular 3DS. Very happy I traded back when Gamestop raised TIV on 3DS.

Very tempting at this price. I want to upgrade but hate these lame colors. I would love an all white version like my old pal DS lite.

I don't play my 3DS much, the screen is too small for me. Gives me a headache pretty quickly. I'm hoping the XL upgrade will fix that so I can finally play Kingdom Hearts!

I bought my 3DS XL on 11/14/12 for 179.99 at Best Buy. Will I be able to take my Receipt in and get a price adjustment. Or is that to long of time to lapse and they won't honor that. Either Way I can take this one back and rebuy at $159.99

Frriiicckkkk... I'm really tempted to get this deal... I feel like $160 is the cheapest it's going to be for a while... but decisions, decisions.

That falls under the Holiday Price Match Guarantee, so you can definitely go to the store once this sale starts and get that $20+tax back.

This is a really, really tempting deal--I plan to upgrade to an XL, but I'm unsure if I should wait for better color options. I have plenty of BBY credit, so paying isn't an issue...but dang, I don't really see it being this price again until a price drop happens next year...maybe.

I wish the 3ds was on that list.

Would best buy do any sort of refund situation in my case? I got them to price match target a few weeks back for $175...

I was so close to buying the $199 XL bundle. I can easily wait one more week to pick this one up instead.

EDIT:

Dragon's Dogma for $29.99

Is that wishful thinking?

Yeah, I've had a 3DS at launch, but the XL is appealing for some reason. Of course, it's not something I need...
