Thing is, they dropped the price quite a bit shortly after the release. Thats why I use the term "ripped off"
It isn't normal for a console to drop fast like that. Who would've bought it if they knew it would drop that fast in price?
And who would have bought a Wii a month before the last price drop if they knew? You not knowing what being ripped off is is why you use the term "ripped off." Nintendo thought the 3DS would sell for $250. More importantly, you thought it was worth $250. You weren't tricked, you weren't forced into anything, you weren't lied to, and you certainly weren't ripped off. You're just butthurt because I guess that's the kind of person you are.
