Buy the 3DS XL now... or wait for the Pokemon bundle?

Damn.

edit: PS3 250GB + Uncharted 3 for $220? Nice.

Most of the items have been on sale for about a week, but that's a decent price for the 3DS (if you don't wanna wait for the inevitable Pokemon bundle) and PS3. The EA sale is terrible, though.

Those "deals" are dreadful.

PS3 goes on sale for $199 throughout the year.
Bioshock and Metro LL have been $30 before.
3DS XL often goes on sale for $150-$160.

Yeah, the meltdown there when the sale went live was amazing. Pretty much all advertised Best Buy sales turn out pretty bad.

For all of you waiting for a 3DS with a bundled game. Those pre-installed games DO NOT qualify for Club Nintendo coins. Just want to get the word out.

I've been slowly picking up DS and 3DS games when I can find them cheaply, I'm ready to dive in as well.

Been playing the GBA on my commute, but its time to upgrade.

Ya i want to pick up a ds lite for all of those amazing gba games. Just can't justify getting a 3ds XL and that at the same time right now.

A bunch of those items are from the weekly sale and not the "Black Friday" promotion specifically.

The Vita memory cards being on sale is worth noting.

Style Savvy isn't available for shipping, and the only stores that have it are farther than I'd like to drive.

fuck Best Buy, they cant just declare when Black Friday is.

you are not the calendar master, you are but a mere electronics store.

this is treason.

same goes for all this 'Christmas in July' bullshit.

do you see any fucking snowflakes?

you will not trick me.

$169.99 for the 3DS XL?

No thanks, I'll wait for $149.99 if anything.

I wonder how much the Pokemon XL bundles will cost.

ahhh still debating whether to get Tomb Raider or not.

And why is the blue 3DS much cheaper than the red one?

Discontinued because no one liked it. Maybe I really was not alone in preferring a straight up BLUE 3DS rather than this light teal nonsense they keep trying to pass off as our Blue option, though the fact the blue 3DS XL is still kicking is probably validation of that along with Midnight Blue being one of the DSi XL colors that stuck around to the very end.

The lady's birthday is in a month, kinda wanting to pull the trigger on a pink 3DS. But she also doesn't want me dropping a ton of money on her right before school starts back up, and she's already content with her DS Lite.

From the start they just planned this out as a way to trick ignorant customers into thinking they're getting good deals by labeling it with "Black Friday".

Tempted to grab a 3DS for the 6th (I think) time. Hopefully won't return or sell this time. Doesn't look like Ice White is going to make it here anytime soon. :(

Is this sale today only?

I am in the market for a new PS3 since mine is on it's last legs, and 220 is a mighty fine price for the 250 GB. I just wish it was not the super slim, which I think is quite ugly.
