Why would they be clearing stock in February for a June announcement?I'm biding my time until 2 sticks are standard. This is looking like they are starting to clear stock. Possibly for an E3 announcement?
You'd have to pay tax from Gamestop though, making the true price closer to $165. Now if it was Amazon, 150 would be 150 and a better deal.
Possibly shipping as well, usually free on Amazon and I'm not sure on GS.
Launch the redesign on 2/13.No, it's a sale that ends on 2/12. Someone on CAG mentioned that managers said this sale was initiated by Nintendo to grab people on the fence. Haha...good timing eh.
Upgrades for the DS averaged every 18-19 months, so we're still a bit early on that.
Fall would be much more likely.
I live two feet away from New Hampshire. No tax, bitches!
Has Nintendo ever had a handheld redesign ready to go at the same time a new Nintendo console hits the market?

I own a 3DS but I would like a second analog built in because I have a cash bet with someone on GAF about that very issue and I like making money off chumps.

Who was stupid enough to bet against that?
Nintendo completely dropped the ball on the lead up to the launch and the launch itself, but since then, it has been non-stop Nintendo on their A-game.The 3DS's first year has been pretty fascinating, feels like a roller coaster. Nintendo is definitely taking the Vita seriously. Four colors, a $100-150 price difference, and a Mario, Mario Kart, Star Fox, and Zelda... They're playing a lot of their cards very early this gen.
Of course they aren't charging tax for sales occurring in a state with no tax. What state do you think would be collecting the tax on something like that?Err wat? Dont online stores usually charge tax where they have a physical store in the state? Which would presumably be everywhere for GS.

The 3DS is also beautiful. I remember that was the biggest difference between a lot of people deciding between the DS and the PSP back in the day. The PSP was much more slick and technical than the DS, while the DS was incredibly bulky and ugly. This time, however, the 3DS is very slick and no slouch graphically or technically, and is much more portable than the Vita. Now with the $100 price difference, it's pretty obvious which one will win out for for the next couple of months before Sony gets their shit together.
Still waiting for that second analog.
Last I saw most Nintendo fans on here don't think a second analog is coming, sort of like they all thought the analog add on was a fake.
This should be in the OP, since everyone is ignoring it
Who are you losing your money to?

Wow. Not to derail this thread, but what mindset could they possibly be in?
Splitting the userbase with a new default control method + lack of a major first party franchise to push adoption of the add-on + lack of any hardware bundle
I mean, his argument that the DS was that much less portable than the PSP (and that something has now changed in that regard to the 3DS vs. PSV) is questionable, but do you really doubt the conclusion? Nintendo has a handheld with a fleshed out library and a $100 price advantage.Wow...

up just taking things out of proportion, unless I'm thinking the wrong bet. stump made an open bet,saying that the redesign would be announced/released by some point, someone took the bet (just because) saying that it won't (during that specific time). And even stump said that if he "won" but turned out that past that date, nothing was announced/released he would pay back.Wow. Not to derail this thread, but what mindset could they possibly be in?
Oh yeah, just like the motion plus on the Wii.
Wait.

$250 is a fair price for the 3DS though, right guys?

Yeah. If anything, is probably to get a bump in sales. So whatever amount of Vitas, Sony says they shipped; they can counter by saying that they sold more...or just that 3DS saw an increase of 1 trillion% or something.Interesting move by Nintendo. But I have a feeling that most if not all people planning to get a Vita are those who are really thinking about it and not just "on the fence."
