Head on over to your local Walmart on Aug 9, reports CAG, and you can do just that since the store will purportedly be price dropping three days early. So long as you register with the eShop by 11:59 p.m. Eastern on Aug. 11, you’ll get the free games, including .

  1. The price cut and free games definitely makes the 3DS more attractive, but I just can't justify purchasing a device whose only game I want to buy is a remake of a 10-year-old game I already own.

  2. @3Z:

    If you buy it from Amazon, make sure you get a shipping option that delivers it by Thursday afternoon at the latest.

  3. I'm buying it for the future free 20 games. I'm still not going to be playing the thing until TotAbyss comes out though.

  4. Hm, I'd say that's a bit unfair for some people to get the 3DS for $170, while the rest of us early 3DS owners got it for the original $250, and BOTH get the 20 free games. And it's kinda cheating Nintendo, too. The ambassadors program was specifically for the people who paid the extra 80 bucks!

  5. It may seem unfair, Lord Lemmy, but there's not much to be done about it. If retailers drop the price early, then savvy consumers have every right to take advantage of the opportunity.

  6. I see it as a good thing. This gets more people to hurry up an purchase the system! It's a nice limited time bonus to boost sales. It'll all be over in a couple of days. I'm curious to see if more people buy it now to get the free games or if more people wait for the official date of the price drop. I'm tempted to go out and buy a second system. I had better decide soon!
