$99 New 3DS Black Friday Deal

I sort of want to know this so I can plan to get a protector first before I even try it out.

Those screen scratches happened to my first 3DS, which got stolen. At least the thief had a messed-up screen :/

You will need that screen protector for both screens. Upper still rubs the wrong way against the lower part on my n3DS.
 
Managed to pick one up.

Both colors are sold out, fyi.

Damn, that was quick!

Edit:

Look at the stock counts in store, looks like stores have between 20 and 60 units. Not too shabby. Wait, that's just black. Add in white, and it's probably double that.

Edit #2:

I take that back. Looks like white is getting less than half as many shipped compared to black
 
Target for the win! I guess an extra week isnt so bad of a wait for the black n3ds. (I've been holding off from upgrading for a very VERY long time now.) I wish their shipping options were priced like Walmart's, I would've jumped on that expedited shipping for sure. All I want now is Bravely Second and FE: Birthright
 
If any of you are looking to buy cases, screen protectors, etc. Amazon Japan ships to the US. Shipping is super fast too. Like 2 days to the US fast. I ordered an Orange PS Vita and and some blu-rays from there and it came in 2 days.

I just ordered this case: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B00NFCCU62/

And these screen protectors: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B00NFCD6X8/

Any idea if the case has storage for game carts, headphones etc?


Also is anyone is feeling particularly lucky, Target Cartwheel app has a 20% videogames and toys coupon that should work with the new 3ds when purchasing in-store. I couldn't find a way to use it online.

on sale now at best buy online
 
Honestly feels like there should be more stock since it's one of Nintendo's central product for the holidays...at least it's lasting longer than the NES bundle.

Yes, it has 3 spots where it can hold 3 games. I actually own the blue colored version (I have the Pokemon New 3DS that came out a few months ago) of this case. But it has no places for headphones or anything like.that. It's a nice case though.
 
These things are going for $150 on amazon and ebay but I'm confused. Are those all $99 pre-order resales or was the Super Mario model released before?

Gonna try this and report back later today. appreciate the heads up man
 
Ugh Target cancelled my order, so I ordered from Toys R Us and now it doesn't show up in my order history.

Fuck this shit, think I'm gonna stick with my old XL.
 
I don't think scalpers will have much luck selling these for the prices they'd like. The main appeal of these two particular 3ds systems is their record low price. If people were willing to pay $150+ they would have already purchased a system a while ago. Not much logic.
 
Just realized some of the Pokémon N3DS have been reported with coming with dual IPS screens vs TN. Oh boy, I'm one of those people.. now I'm going to get hung up on whether I got the superior screen or not. However, for all we know at this price these Black and White Editions may all be guaranteed TN screens.

Thanks for the heads up! I dig that HORI case and those hori screen protectors will get here to the U.S. from Japan faster than what amazon was promising from my U.S. order lol. Seriously, says they'll be here by the 28th-29th. That's real fast from Japan.
 
Got a black one for in store pickup via Toys R Us, I'll be able to get there late tonight so hopefully the store honors the order and hangs onto the system.

Since I couldn't wait to get my 3DS I just ordered one too for in-store pickup :D
They better honor the order!


I just tried my fams 3DS XL today and loved it. It fits my big hands nicely, so if I dont like the n3DS im gonna try to trade it for an XL
