But seriously, I have no use for it and was going to give it to the first one who wanted it, but for you since you are asking about a price..... ten bucks. (btw anyone is free to claim it)

So to shift things toward getting a good deal, what kinda price should a guy look for these days if he's in the market to upgrade to an N3DS XL? I know they were around $175 on Amazon the other day, but I wasn't sure if that was a great deal since CamelCamelCamel says they were $158 within the past six months, plus Costco keeps doing deals for around $190 with a charger and a game I could probably hock on eBay for $20-30.

Any tips? I've been kicking myself for a year for not getting the MH4U bundle.

Meldonox posted:

Normally I go for new. I would've considered one of the Nintendo refurbs, but they're only $5 cheaper than that $175 mark.

Waiting for the next $175 on Amazon may be my best bet since I have a little gift card balance, really. That and/or finding a place online that will price match Amazon but won't collect sales tax like Amazon does.

Don't know if anyone else responded to you yet or not, but I will sell you my N3DS XL black NA model for $125 (no charger) if you can hold out until Saturday, since that's when my Pokemon 20th Anniversary one arrives.

Edit: IT'S MARKET VALUE!

To be honest in the final scheme of things it's a fairly minor problem. The game is available digitally or in individual portions that you can purchase the other part digitally for a discount. And while having a totally physical version is an understandable desire you still can't because the final path is DLC, not included on the combined cart AFAIK. It still sucks that it's a thing but it just amounts to "you have to buy two routes digitally instead of one."

No, this is incorrect. The JP special edition only included two versions, the US one includes all three, so you also get Revelations three weeks early.

Reason #238,826 why Nintendo releasing five copies that went to scalpers in two seconds was a loving horrible decision

Isn't Revelations still a download code, though?

Revelation is straight up on the cart in the American LE. The Japanese LE had it as a download code, however.

I don't really get the "help out the goon community!" thing but when you're atraightup like "I'm just trying to make money, I'm not doing anyone here any favors" it's not surprising when those people don't want to chat with you or laugh at your dumb jokes.

I do get the goons-help-goons attitude and totally agreed on the second part. Friends don't charge friends scalper prices; you can't have it both ways and try to be all buddy-buddy while simultaneously price gouging. Like, let's say a friend had an extra ticket to a concert I want to see, and they try to charge me stubhub prices instead of just recouping what they paid? Not a friendly action, and I'd tell them to get stuffed.

Selling anything should go in SA Mart anyway.

I didn't realize until today that it was coming out so soon. I'm gonna try and see if I can get a pre-order in at Best Buy to guarantee a copy since I see that Amazon is sold out.

From the reviews I read, the 3D was only in the menus if I recall. It is not a remade 3D classics like Kid Icarus got.

Fair enough, it's a big deal to me though. I'm either gonna wait for a reprint of the SE or buy an eventual all-inclusive GOTY edition if they do one. My backlog's big enough to keep me going awhile anyways :v:

The Oracle games were loving fantastic. If anyone hasn't played them they really should because there was a ton of content if you owned both.

I just got the Fire Emblem NN3DS a couple days ago because I went to the nearby Gamestop shortly after opening, and the guy working there checked and they had one (of three) that wasn't being held on preorder. Seems like mine has a TN panel on top from what I can tell, but it also appears to be something that happens amongst some of them? It's not a huge deal though because if I hadn't read it somewhere I wouldn't have really even noticed.

The coolest thing to do would to ask like $135 shipped on SA-mart. Seller makes like $40, buyer gets the special edition they really want or turns around to sell it on eBay anyway for another $40 in profit, win win (except for the eBay sucker.) If dude really needs the money, he should just go straight to eBay.

No need for all of you to jump on him because you understandably hate scalpers. He bought one copy to play and decided to go digital instead. Sure he's trying to make a buck off supply and demand, but it's not like he bought 10 copies with zero intent to play the game.

The goal of the collection was to be as accurate as possible to the originals (down to sprite flicker, bugs and glitches, and a second different pause button for Mega Man 1). Adding 3D was never in the cards for that one.
