Just picked up the Mario Kart version at Best Buy for $160, love it.
I went to Toys R Us and asked if they'd price match and also give a gift card and they said they wouldn't. Plus they wanted an actual physical advertisement, lol.
I actually enjoyed Mario Kart, I thought I wouldn't, it was pretty fun. Playing some Pokemon for the first time in a long while. Getting Kid Icarus this week which should be awesome.
Why do you need a screen protector?
I was worried about that as well, but the blue actually looks really sleek, it's a nice metallic dark blue, doesn't look bad at all.
