Too bad Germany isn't so obsessed with American culture that it celebrates the commercialism surrounding holidays while ignoring the meaning...
(The scary part is he could be right. In 1978 a trade association marketing scheme started what is now a universally recognized holiday over there, and that was entirely original without western pop culture influencing it.)
Cromwell ,
Have you considered getting just a Nintendo DS ? The original one ? (Lite, XL, whatever) ? Most of the games were on that format. 3DS is getting a few exclusives, but if you want to save money and want to take a safe bet, you might want to look up that option ; especially second hand.
I wish we had Black Friday in Germany. Wow, that's a good deal!
We got our 3DS back during Christmas time; Gamestop was selling it for 180$ for a day, which was an amazing price at the time.
I really wish we had Black Friday here in Germany, I need a lot of appliances: electric shaver, microwave, TV, computer mice, etc
Too bad that it won't be translated, ever. And 3Ds' bullshit region-locking makes it even worse
My 3DS XL is currently shipping.
I bought a XL because I heard it's better for big-handed manly men like me. It's also more suitable for longer sessions with its rounded corners. I also prefer smudge-free plastic to the original's gloss. 300 SEK (46 dollars) more expensive than the regular 3DS. I got the black/silver one.
I want to play Bravely Default and the new Zelda. Other than that I don't know what to get for it. Maybe some older DS RPGs since I hear it's backwards compatible.
I didn't get it particularly cheap, but it was the best price I could find in sweden. Roughly 240 dollars. And that's not including a battery charger (an additional 20 dollars)

I played the Fire Emblem demo and didn't like it. I'm trying to like those tactics JRPG games, but I just find them a teeny weeny bit too slow.
I'm playing Etrian Odyssey IV now. I rather like it, even if it is extremely quirky.
There are a lot of games on the 3DS that make it worth buying:

Paper Mario: Sticker Star
