Yesterday was pretty hecktic, so I wasn't able to update. But anycase, the US game retailer GameStop has lowered the price of the 3DS from $169.99 to $149.99 in an "Limited Time Only" sale, which will reportably last for 6 days (starting yesterday, Feb. 8).

| This kinda looks like some dysfunctional family. Black and Blue are the responsible older siblings, Red is the brother who never went to college or gotten a job, and Pink is the preppy younger sister who's still in high school. |
GameStop has said that this sale was "initiated" by Nintendo itself. This sale comes two weeks before the 3DS's big competitor the PlayStation Vita hits store shelves. The Vita's base model (Wifi-Only, no GPS) will cost $249.99, and its 3G-enabled brother will be $299.99, not to mention the pricy memory cards it requires ($20 for 4GB, while you can get a 32GB SD Card for your 3DS for only 6 bucks more at some places). Another theory that has been brought up is that the GameStop-exclusive Circle Pad Pro (with a $20 pricetag) release prompted Nintendo to lower the 3DS price by $20 to make the peripheral more appealing.
Whatever the reason may be, if you've been really considering purchasing a 3DS, now's a good time to get in on the action.
