Rumor: Walmart dropping 3DS price early

[FireGrey]

i suspect all shops will do this
cause noone would buy the 3ds before the price cut...
btw anyone without a 3ds should hurry cause they're gona go fast and they won't restocks until the official price drop

 

[kaputnik]

Sounds pretty plausible. Wasn't Nintendo gonna give some kind of refund to retailers that bought 3DS in bulk at the original price too? In that case there's no real reason to not cut the price early.

well, us early adopters will probably be hurting at this, but in all fairness, this two-day opportunity just means more 3DS sales, which is definitely better in the long run.

so i say let them take advantage of it. i hope it makes the 3DS sales on those days surge like crazy, so that devs pick up on this and start making some seriously awesome titles.

Here in Italy Euronics already dropped the price to 159€, there are people who already bought it at the new price (and will also get the free games for the first customers because they sign in Online prior the official date).

Yes. It's been in effect since last friday. I got mine on August 1st for $190.00 at Wal-Mart in British Columbia.

GAAAH! Just found out that in the U.S, Wal-mart already dropped the prices in the online store. But on closer look, in tiny font it clearly says :

Preorder this item today and it should ship on 08/12/2011

Guess I have to wait till the 12th....

But just in case..... Still lookin' at Walmart tomorrow
