QUOTE(Kyoyagami @ Jul 29 2011, 12:08 AM) Nah, not that. I am sad on my supplier's side, but I think it serves them a little. Nonetheless, will update if the Official Malaysian one is getting any of this delightful news or not. >maxsuck nope.jpg |

FFFFUUUUUUU
A $1OO price cut?! That's like RM300!! Arggghhh personally I don't really care for those old games >_> Not really gonna play them on the 3DS anyway... I assume I have to change my country to US, to access the eShop, to get these free stuff? Nintendo, Y u no announce this just a tad earlier? T.T I'm broke now... |

QUOTE July 29th, 2011 Nintendo to sell the Nintendo 3DS at a loss In the wake of the price drop, new information has surfaced that indicates that Nintendo will now be selling the 3DS at a loss. Satoru Iwata of Nintendo said this move is necessary in order to improve fiscal performance next year and beyond. This is unheard of from Nintendo so it’ll be interesting to see how it works out for them. |

I don't think so. Those who did change their regions to US, will know soon.

Am surprised nintendo took such a drastic step and dropped the price so fast and by so much.
Just picked up a 2nd hand dsi XL for a reasonable price. Both machines have their selling points. Got to say I like my 3ds just a tad better in terms of the hardware. But I really hope the 3ds doesn't flop. At the end of the day, its about the lack of software, ninty reall needs to increase the number of titles quickly.

3ds suffered from weak launch games...similar to what happens to ps3 in it's early days...
n based on what happen to ps3, i dun think price cut is gonna have much impact until more proper 3ds games is made available... n as for me, i'll continue waiting for 3ds xl or the 2nd 3ds iteration... This post has been edited by ray148: Jul 29 2011, 12:33 PM |
