EDIT: Appears to be $30 off every system so some are lower than $169.99.

Gamestop

Feels like everyone is trying to clear stock before the NEW 3DS is announced.

 

[The Shogun]

Interesting.

 

[backlot]

Oh, you mean new old 3DS.

 

[Mpl90]

Interesting.

Oh you

 

[z0m3le]

pokemon X&Y XL $140, Animal crossing XL $150

 

[Mista]

I was about to go mental. I thought its the "New" 3DS! I was like since when a US version

 

[uncredited male]

This is actually what I paid for my 3DS a few years back. It has held its price point well.

Onto the n3DS. Eventually.

 

[BigTnaples]

Oh, you mean new old 3DS.

Dammit. This.

 

[SerTapTap]

Hopefully they know something we don't and New 3DS is coming sooner than...never

Oh, you mean new old 3DS.

Can't wait for their discounts on old new 3ds

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Still €220 here

 

[Reverend Funk]

God the new 3ds name makes everything difficult.

 

[Vuze]

Oh, you mean new old 3DS.

Was about to say that lol

 

[Vanillalite]

pokemon X&Y XL $140, Animal crossing XL $150

Yeah appears to be $30 off all. Trying to edit OP to reflect.

 

[sixteen-bit]

"Hey Gamestop I heard ur selling 'New' 3DS for $169.99"

*opens box*

"where's the second analog?"

 

[finalflame]

Well, let the wild speculation begin.

Spoiler

they're trying to get rid of old stock to make room for N3DS

 

[Vanillalite]

Oh, you mean new old 3DS.

Naming convention is confusing but yeah new as in it's $30 off non used systems.

How does the 3ds transferring work now? Do I need a NEW 3ds LL in hand to transfer all my games//ambassador status from my XL?

 

[Flarin]

I have on good authority there will be a very New 3DS-centric Nintendo Direct next week. If not a Direct then a deluge of news regarding the system and upcoming games. These price drops make perfect sense.

 

[andymcc]

New 3DS in March I presume.

I guess it's launching with MH4 and Majora.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

be strong GAF NEW 3DS's are coming soon

 

[finalflame]

Let's hope you're right. I have ~$200 burning a hole in my bank account, and if Nintendo could give me a good reason to spend it (N3DS), that would be fantastic.

Yes, that's how Nintendo account system works. Both have to be in hand unless you tell some lie like it was stolen or lost.

 

[MissileTrick]

That new leaf one . ;-; I'm so lucky it's not available. Maybe I can make a custom face plate of it for the new 3DS.

 

[The Elite]

It's happening.

 

[Flarin]

I want that New XL so bad.

 

[Plinko]

This combined with the retail guy's statement in the other thread make me believe this thing is hitting the U.S. next month.

Nintendo Direct probably within the next two weeks to announce.

What statement?

 

[Rodney McKay]

Please let me have the New 3DS by the end of January!

I've been holding off on playing my 3DS lately knowing that I'll be getting the new one.

 

[freeofgreed]

What do you guys think the pricing is going to be when the new new 3ds drops?

 

[YuriLowell]

This combined with the retail guy's statement in the other thread make me believe this thing is hitting the U.S. next month.

Next week. Mark my words.

 

[//ARCANUM]

wow. You can get the Persona Q 3DS XL for $169.99 and pick up in store (most of the stores in my area have it). That's crazy. If I didn't already have that beauty, I'd be on top of it.

 

[elohel]

Oh, you mean new old 3DS.

lol yup that's basically what it is now that we are assumed to be gaining the new one eventually

 

[finalflame]

I want that New XL so bad.

Yup. I know it won't do anything my current XL doesn't do, but I want it. Bad. Really bad. If they announce a direct I will work from home that day and glue myself to my screen while the direct happens.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Man the gamestop near me still has a few of those Persona Q 3DS XLs...might buy one.

 

[Exile20]

Naming convention is confusing but yeah new as in it's $30 off non used systems.

Atleast Nintendo is using more than 2 characters now.

LL

"New" is an upgrade.

Nintendo please pay someone to name your products.

[H3xum]

Next week. Mark my words.

Words marked. Don't let me down

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I'm putting a lot of stock in these rumours. Hope I'm not disappointed.

 

[Fantastical]

Can't wait for Nintendo Direct.

 

[MetalDeer]

And I just got a 3DS XL last Christmas.. Hopefully there aren't too many games exclusive to the New 3DS. I waited all this time to finally get one so I wouldn't get burned like I did with the fat DS, and it's looking like it might happen again.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Next week. Mark my words.

All eyes on you, son.

 

[The Elite]

Next week. Mark my words.

I will hold you to this.

 

[gigantor21]

Nah, son, I need that second analog nub in my life.

 

[freeofgreed]

Which statement?

Yeah this.

 

[Xeroblade]

Would it have been so hard to name it the Super 3DS XL? stupid nintendo.

 

[Dead Prince]

This combined with the retail guy's statement in the other thread make me believe this thing is hitting the U.S. next month.

Nintendo Direct probably within the next two weeks to announce.

need to release it in march.

 

[The Elite]

need to release it in march.

March is too late.

I can't wait that long.

 

[//ARCANUM]

Would it have been so hard to name it the Super 3DS XL? stupid nintendo.

if it was actually named this, i would actually want it.
