    Definitely buy one now, they are still 129 at Gamestop. I have two extra 2DSs that I keep at the house for when friends come over for Mario Kart / Party and stuff like that. They're like the loaners. At this price I may just pick up another one just for the sake of having it. Jump on it soon. I don't see prices going this low for a while after this.

      I think I will, I've had my eye on that pretty blue too long to pass up this opportunity. I've never gotten to hold a 2DS before, but I've heard they're the most comfortable and similar to the original Game Boy in feel.

        The 2DS is a wonderful console! It plays great with just about every game. Very few titles are difficult on in, but something like MH4U would be an example of a game I wouldn't recommend on it. Too many tiny little details for the small screen and you don't have the scaling of the 3D to help things stand out. OTTHER THAN THAT ITS AMAZING. Again highly, highly recommend.

          I pulled the trigger on one earlier today and am eagerly awaiting its delivery!

            Congrats! If they're still available tomorrow I think I'll be getting an additional one!

            @VoyagerXyX -

            A little belated at this point, but I have to thank you for recommending the 2DS! I got mine this week and I love this thing - it's probably the most comfortable Nintendo handheld since the original GameBoy, if not the most comfortable Nintendo handheld ever. I've been using Ninjhax 2.0 to play Taiko no Tatsujin and Rhythm Heaven on it for the past few days, and it's so much more comfortable to play games like that on the 2DS than the (N)3DSXL. I've already got a bunch of SNES ROMs on my SD card as well, because somehow all of my handheld devices end up becoming SNES emulators. I wonder how many times I've beaten SMW/DKC/DKC2/etc. by now... :)
