Does anyone have an insight into when the 3DS price will drop? It's £180 on its own atm, but I think I'm buying it for Super Mario 3D and Paper Mario, so it is probably best to wait, right? I'm hoping for a £150/160 bundle.

It can be bought for that price yeah, but its still supposed to be £230.

I wouldn't expect a £150 price with a game this year, it might even go higher than it is now.

If you don't mind waiting, I'd suggest £150 on its own as perhaps the price to bite at.

At a guess, when the PS Vita launches next March (ish).

The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them in parliament.

Even if it was PS360 footage, they wouldn't be allowed to use it if the system wasn't demonstrably equal or superior in terms of power to the formats from which those videos were originally made.

Also I'd like to point out, ALL footage from trailers is done on a PC.

£150, instore @ GAME


You probably don't have Costco membership, but its £160 there. It obviously can't sustain sales at £199+ so I would expect you can pick it up less than £160 quite easily now.

Yes?

Its really never been that price.

I mean sure at some point some shops had it for £230, but ever since launch you've been able to get it somewhere for £180 or less.
