There's not a Frys anywhere near me and both target and walmart's website don't include Frys as a retailer that they will price match. Just don't want to waste my time driving around just to get shut down :(

Last question of the day from me, M&L Dream Team, what's the consensus on this title? $15 for price matching a Nintendo first party title is almost always a great deal. I know Sticker Star is generally regarded to be trash...

it's fine for $15. i wish i hadnt spent 40 on it at launch though

Yep, this, I bought it digitally and wish I didn't so I could make money back on it. $10 is perfect, $15 is acceptable.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

I grabbed Dream Team digitally for full price and loved it. The handholdiness was kind of a chore, but the game is charming enough that I'm willing to overlook that (the Massiff bros are some of the greatest characters in any video game ever!) and the battle system is amazing with how complex and dynamic fights can get. The boss fights in particular are the best in the series and I was very satisfied with that $40.

Awesome!

I'm sitting on an Amazon gift card waiting for the New 3DS prices to go down before ordering. Do we have any idea when that'll happen? I've been a horrible shut-in/goon (but I repeat myself) and had no idea the port strikes were going on.

Amazon does not sell nintendo hardware and all the third parties on their site jack up the price.

So just got a New 3DSXL Black(with A Link Between Worlds and Majora's Mask 3D(aka the reason I bought the thing at all)), and as this is my first handheld/console period since the Gameboy Advance are there any kind of general usage/care instructions for getting the most out of the thing and keeping it from damage?

If you're going to remove the back cover to get at the battery or SD card, the guide recommends that you use the butt of the stylus to pry it off in two specific places. My advice is: it's less prying and more stabbing. I did not know this and ended up deforming the edge a little bit trying to get it off.

Just a heads up, today I was at Gamestop (they had a copy of MH4U), and the guy said that Xenoblade Chronicles was going to be preorder only, so if you're even on the fence about getting it, you might wanna throw $5 on a preorder now.

Yayyyy more Nintendo scarcity :neckbeard:

Because they're probably afraid of over-saturating for a small segment of their portable market, I guess. Or maybe Gamestop's the one only doing preorders.

But if GS's only doing preorders, it's probably gonna be hard to find.
