I don't know if this is an official price, a price drop, or something that is only going on at Walmart. No matter what, some of you might want to take advantage of this while you can! Thanks to 8bitjay for the heads up!

I need to go to WalMart right now! But I don't have a car.

Meh, you can get a used DSL for like $80. This isn't shocking me.

DS Phat is still better though. The DSL breaks like after 2 years, while the DS Phat can go for a long time.

They're probably also trying to push the DSi and trying to rid their stock of DSL before replacing them with DSi's. Wal-Mart, although slightly overpriced with games (I mean, who wants to pay like $40 for a new PS2 game?), does have good console prices.

The beginning of the end for DSlites? You know, clear the stock of DSlites and only carry the DSi. It is my firm belief that Ninty is lying through their teeth when they say the have no intention of killing off the DSlite. They can't update the firmware of a DSlite to screw you out of being able to pirate games, so they want it gone. They won't admit to killing it off until they are mostly off store shelves, then they will be like, "Oh! Didn't you know?"

Of course they will kill the DSL, no way to stop piracy there...!!

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white

    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
