I stumbled upon this article, and Nintendo is reducing 3DS prices from $250 to $170! Thats a whopping $80 dollar difference not even half a year after it had been released. D:

However, there is a special deal for those who bought 3DS at a full price ($250), you will get 20, I repeat, 20 FREE games from the e-Nintendo store! Whether or not this will satisfy you, I cannot say, but it certainly made me less agitated about the price drop just a couple months after I bought the 3DS.

The price cut is supposed to happen August 12 I believe.

I'm glad they decided to drop the price. They finally admitted that they did something wrong.

The price drop is so sudden because of the purchase rating the system might be sought after by some but in actuality why pay more for a vision enhanced version of a game you've beaten 50 times before? Ex. "The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake" its the same game with a smoother appeal played on the exact same "RPG" platform style programing. The system itself just isn't that sought after to justify the two hundred dollar cost.

Then again I am sure there are those few who will appreciate the Nintendo bribe of twenty free market games. I'm looking at you Eg9 -_-

Call it what you want but in all truth I just prefer hacking an older model Nintendo DS and getting the games off of a hard drive USB loader program, not as simple but just as effective as the same over priced too fancy games that Nintendo is putting out these days.
