Number 2 in their system!
Haha staff are so replaceable in these places it's laughable. I got a Wii on launch day without a pre-order.rosjos44 said:Its an instant fire for that employee if they do that. Just to let you know.
Well put, I echo your sentiment. Additionally I think it will be difficult to top the DS in the same sense that it was difficult to top the PS2's universal appreciation. Especially in a more competitive android, apple market.Opiate said:I still have no interest in this device. The big sell for the system is visual upgrades, and its largely relying on ports of old games, most of which I don't like in the first place.
I'm not saying that no one else can like the sound of that. I'm saying that, as a DS owner, that's essentially taking all the stuff I liked from the DS (original, quirky games that relied on innovative interface design) and replacing it with stuff I have no interest in (literally old games that relied on presentation and graphics) all at a much higher price point.
Obviously I'll change my tune if and when interesting games are announced (there are a couple, like Professor Layton and Ace Attorney), but as of right now the system seems far more focused on things I have no interest in.
The DS was the first Nintendo system I've owned since the SNES, and I'll be just fine ignoring their systems again.
WHAT!? You have missed out on too much! :lolOpiate said:The DS was the first Nintendo system I've owned since the SNES, and I'll be just fine ignoring their systems again.
The problem wass vast majority of quirky games that relied on interface innovation lack substance and were getting old after 5 minutes of play time. Now they are the king on iPhone, where at least they cost $1, not $25, that's reasonable pricing. My two most played and favorite games on the DS were Fire Emblem and Advance Wars, but the platform didn't have many good games aside from that.Opiate said:I still have no interest in this device.

Paper Mario won't be launch D:cw_sasuke said:Paper Mario 3DS, Zelda OoT and SSF 4 3D Edition is all i need at launch. At least on the retail front, i wonder what 3DSWare/Virtual Console/Classics in 3D Lineup they will offer day 1.
Im pretty sure it will be at least in europe ( launch window)Boney said:He hasn't though.
For me, it's Steel Driver, Mercenaries and Layton.
Paper Mario won't be launch D:
Do you think it'll launch in March? (the 3DS)cw_sasuke said:Im pretty sure it will be at least in europe ( launch window)
the SKU is 020132, tell them that then they can reserve it.mjc said:The store I went to had the games open for reserve but not the system. WTF
That's what originally happened at mine, but they figured out how to very shortly afterwards.mjc said:The store I went to had the games open for reserve but not the system. WTF

Yes all stores got an email about it today with the SKU number. I would suggest going in January 19th and picking your color though.Anasui Kishibe said:I say, this preorder on December thing seems rather shifty. We sure it's a official thing? I woulda expected much more fanfare, so to say
Anasui Kishibe said:oh yeah I wasn't suggesting something illegal. I just think that not too many people will know about it, but since that's their goal..
Damn. $250 interest free.....Synless said:I got mine preordered and put down $250 just to get the cost out of the way. Hopefully besides tax, it won't cost any more than that.
Some people like to get it out of the way so they dont have to worry about it.dallow_bg said:Damn. $250 interest free.....
I'm just surprised people do this.
dallow_bg said:Damn. $250 interest free.....

I normally don't buy from them and I'm not about making the rich richer. However, i'm looking to buy a house in march and I don't want to have to worry about having extra money around when this comes out. It is just much more convenient to just pay it off now while i have the extra money.dallow_bg said:Damn. $250 interest free.....

Why do you keep repeating yourself :loldallow_bg said:Damn. $250 interest free.....

That's what I'm thinking. I rather order from them in the end. I already have credit in my account I can use.gkryhewy said:I wonder if Amazon won't take orders until the press events.

Because $50 seemed silly to me at first. $250 just surprised me. He has a valid reason though.abstract alien said:Why do you keep repeating yourself :lol
I want one on launch day. If I have to hedge my bets, then so be it. Gamestop, Amazon, TRU.......outunderthestars said:I'll cancel my GS preorder when if amazon takes preorders. I just want to have my bases covered.
