Nintendo 3DS

$9.99 at Best Buy ... I think other places sell it for $15-20.

Wow, that's pretty cheap for a battery that doubles your run time. So that includes the grip and battery?

The battery is the grip

Ive now beaten my 3ds games completely, back to the XL and Advance Wars.

I tried looking around and also searching - is Zelda Four Swords no longer free? I'm kicking myself for not grabbing it before. I couldn't even find it to purchase.

I used my $20 3DS Shop card last night on:

Pushmo
Zen Pinball 3D
Alleyway (I'm a sucker for break out clones - I remember this one from 1989)

Pretty crappy they charge tax as it throws off utilizing the entire card.

Got my code for Kid Icarcus 3D from Amazon this morning too

The Zelda promotion ended in February.

Oh the Kid Icarus 3D download. Thanks for reminding me!

Would something like this be a good idea?

The free Zelda: Four Swords game was supposed to disappear on February 20th, but I'm kind of surprised that "disappear" was accurate. I expected it would still be available if people were willing to pay. Crazy!

For what it's worth, without online play the game wasn't as good as everyone made it out to be anyway. Solo play is included and works, but isn't great. So awesome give-away, but unless you've got local friends with 3DS/DSi systems not really something to go out of your way for. (Just my opinion!)


eShop Tip: When buying games, you can purchase something that you don't have enough credit for and then just "top up" the difference using a credit card. That way you don't have to buy a big chunk of eShop credit if you only want to spend a couple of dollars.

eShop Tip #2: For the first time, Nintendo will let you store credit card info on the system (locally, not online) to make purchases easier. After entering your card info, you create a 4-digit password that must be entered before you buy anything. If someone tries to buy but gets the password wrong 3 times then the information is erased.

^ Thanks - I'm normally very opposed to CC info stored but if it's just locally and not online and there is that passcode, I feel a little better.

Now I'm going to end up buying the entire store.

For anyone interested in Kid Icarus, it is $29.99 on Bestbuy.com and you can also use in-store pickup. I've submitted to Amazon and hoping for a price match.
