Nintendo 3DS Price Drop


Hello fellow geeks and gamers! I hope you all are doing wonderful this week. I apologies for my absence on my blog as of late so many times real life and laziness cause the lack of video’s and blog posts, But I’m hoping to continue my blog with updated information on the world of technology and gaming..

On July 1st I bought my Nintendo 3DS system (Aqua Blue) at Best Buy the cost was a whopping 250 Dollars, honestly when I bought the system it didn’t feel like that much money but after I was thinking to myself how much it really was, Think about it.. The Nintendo Wii home system is currently 134 dollars on Walmart.com and this is a hand held device! I couldn’t stand the thought of 250 dollars after playing with the system for a while. Sure it’s cool the neat AR cards and the ability to make Mii’s and that great looking 3D but definitely not 250 dollars cool.

I knew after playing the system that Nintendo would have to lower the price to compete in the market and that they did. A couple weeks ago Nintendo released a statement that there new 3DS would be getting a price drop from 250 dollars to 169 that’s a huge price drop! It also makes the system more appealing, I believe this is going to help sell a lot of systems and games in the long run.

I was especially happy that I returned my system for a cash refund a couple weeks after buying it so now I will be able to get it at the much cheaper rate! But what about those who have already bought the system!? Well Nintendo is promising 10 free downloads so you are getting a lot of games for free, But I still feel it’s a rip off to those people because a lot of true gamers my already own the games. It’s just too bad Nintendo didn’t start at this price. Don’t get me wrong in any way but I believe the lineup for the 3DS sucked and so did the system price.

The Nintendo 3DS system price drop started already at Wal-Mart in most Wal-Mart stores and online you can take advantage already of the price drop before it occurs on August 12th! I’m so happy I waited and I’m looking forward to getting a 3DS system! At this price I think everyone that’s into gaming should check it out. Also for those not interested in the 3DS color line up Aqua Blue and Cosmo Black I’m willing to bet by Christmas time you will see other colors to attract customers, Nintendo is very good at doing that... Look how many colors the Dsi has been over the years! 

Anyway guy’s sorry for all the rambling! But thank you again for reading my blog, It means a lot to me!  You guys are great.  Please tell me your thoughts on the Nintendo 3DS good or bad I’d love to hear them... 

                                                                                Peace,
