Nintendo 3DS

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.

Wow, considering it's release is today, that is quite a deal.

Yea, I'm pretty sure that is going to be as cheap as it gets for some time.

I was able to cancel my order with Amazon but also already received the pre-order bonus code from them. Just placed an order for pickup with BB.

Just ordered my Hori screen protector (nice scared straight dialogue a couple pages back in this thread) and tacked on a $20 Tetris Axis to get free shipping through Amazon.

Tetris any good?

Seems to have gotten decent but not great review scores. I have not played it, but I am always down for puzzle games. Let me know what you think!

Would also like to hear about Tetris Axis after you play it.

My understanding is that with an online-enabled DSiWare version readily available on the system, most reviewers didn't see the value of a retail release. Without playing either game yet, I kind of agree. Tetris is the sort of game that I would prefer having "always available" instead of having to carry a game card - that alone makes me think the DSiWare release might be better for my interests.

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

If you set your location as California, they don't charge tax.

You bring up a great point. I cancelled that piece of my order. I would rather have it available for whenever also. Thanks for saving me that hassle and $20. i'll get another eShop card with that money.

Would something like this be a good idea?

The 3DS' battery slot says up to 3.7v litium ion, so probably. That battery is almost double the capacity of the stock 3DS battery. (2000 mAh vs 1300 mAh) No idea who the manufacturer is, but there's not really that many options when it comes to lithium ion providers.

Hopefully, there's nothing messed up about it :S (It's important to note there's a battery leakage warning on it though >_>)

It's not likely to be that much higher capacity if it's the same size as the stock battery. A lot of sellers of replacement batteries lie about the capacity. I know this because I do cell phone and computer repairs for work.
