I know that 3DSXLs are normally $200, but I'm wondering if it ever goes under when on sale at various locations.

Why I ask: 3DSXLs are on sale again at Fry's, and I was considering getting Best Buy to price match it for me. I remember Best Buy having a deal a few weeks ago where they were sold for $170, but unfortunately I missed it. I don't really see the point in waiting forever just to potentially save $5, though.

I would say its an alright deal. If they have an ad you can price match at bestbuy (learned that trick from cheapassgamer).

Aww, their price tracker doesn't track consoles.

It looks like they were recommending Fry's too, or to wait until Black Friday. Don't really feel like waiting 3 months, though... I've waited long enough.

Lowest I've seen is $160. $175 is a decent price.

I was gonna quote you and say that's the lowest price I've seen too, but you edited your post! Sneaky sneaky.

    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
