I want to buy a 3DS, but I don't want to sell anything

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Nintendo confirmed today that Zelda, Kid Icarus, and Mariokart are definitely not coming out before E3, so honestly you are better off waiting.

I would agree getting a job if possible would solve the problem of getting a 3DS and then you won't have to sell off any of your gaming collection. 8)

Don't worry, if you don't get it at launch there won't be any left so you won't get tempted to sell something.

Haha, you want to have your cake and eat it too, don't you? :lol:

There's no magic formula. If you don't save you won't get one. You are not going to take a job to buy a console and selling stuff will make you regret later.

So, START SAVING YOU BUM!

Yeah jobs are this amazing thing. You just do something for a few hours every day and you get money for it, which you can use to buy things like a 3DS.

I'd love to get a job, but I live in a town with 2 businesses, neither of which is hiring. And I ain't got no wheels, man. Can't get to another town to work there. I have been doing what Flojocabron recommended, just on a much smaller scale, and I've been selling them on ebay, instead of trading them in at a store. And yes, General_Norris, I DO want to have my cake and eat it too. Getting stuff with no effort on my part is something I quite enjoy. Just doesn't happen very often.
