GAMING NEWSThe Best Place to Buy a 3DS Is...Posted on Friday, March 25 @ 10:31:57 Eastern by Anthony Severino
![]() The Nintendo 3DS is the most expensive handheld in history, but it packs some pretty powerful specs under the hood along with a glasses-free 3D screen. Still, the price may have some consumers passing on a 3DS on launch day. Now you don't have to, if you use our money-saving tips, that is. Amazon.com is offering a $25 credit toward the purchase of a 3DS game and a free credit toward a select accessory when you purchase a Nintendo 3DS. The saving doesn't have to stop there, Amazon is also offering a $10 credit with the purchase of a select 3DS game. So, you can use the $25 credit to get a game, which gives you another credit to buy another game! Confusing? Good! If you don't feel like waiting for the 3DS to be shipped to your door, K-Mart has a similar deal that takes place at the point sale. No waiting for promotional credits, either. If you buy a Nintendo 3DS at K-Mart between March 27 and April 2, you can instantly save $25 off a 3DS launch title. If you're upgrading your old DS, DSi or DSi XL to a 3DS, then you might want to check out GameStop instead. They're offering a $100 trade in credit when you trade in a DSi XL for a 3DS, a $75 trade in on a DSI for a 3DS, and a $50 trade in credit on regular DS models when purchasing a 3DS. Still on the fence? No fear, Game Revolution's review of the Nintendo 3DS and key launch software are coming soon. We'll have extensive 3DS coverage including a FAQ that answers all of your burning questions. (If you've got any questions you want answered, go ahead and ask 'em here).

How much do the games cost?
Is there a price difference between games, or are they all the same? I wish Triple A games, and those "mini games" handhelds are so fond of would be priced differently.
Is there a local wireless multiplayer? Does it support downloading of small portions of the games to another DS if you only have 1 copy of the game?
How well implemented is the 3D on ports? Does it make it look like the game was made to be 3D, or is it obvious the game was made 3D after the fact?
How long before it gives you a headache?

I'm aware that we can turn the 3D effect off. Is the 3D effect in most games completely superficial, or will turning it off make it easier/harder to play the game? Will there be games that it is almost impossible to play without the 3D, because you won't be able to see things you need to see? I realize this is going to be on a per game basis, but I'm very curious.
