3DS reserves start today

Today is the day that you can now start reserving the Nintendo 3DS in the US. The max you can put on the system is $50 as there is no definite price on the system yet. There are 4 games up for reserve as well but the only one worth mentioning is The Sims 3. Also if your local Game Stop can not seem to find the SKU # in order to reserve it, the SKU is 020132.

OOOO I'm reserving with my next paycheck. If the history the wii had is any indicator... this is gonna sold out for over 2 years after release. $&%( the search, i'll pay 50 bucks for a guarantee.

wwm0nkey5631d ago

Yeah also after you reserve you will get a phone call at a later date (probably January 20th) to ask what color you would like. If you don't get that call just head up and tell them what color you want.

Also you COULD buy a 2nd one and sell it on Ebay for like $1000 probably after launch lol

Shnazzyone5631d ago

True, but my ethics prevent me from taking advantage of people to that extent.

wwm0nkey5631d ago

That why I said COULD, because I myself would never do that either, kind of a dick thing to do.

stuntman_mike5631d ago

you two guys are the envy of the whole gaming community with your "honest-to-god" morals lol.

now im just waiting for the UK reserve to be released...then god forbid i buy two and sell one on ebay for £1000.

"...my ethics prevent me from taking advantage of people to that extent."

To that extent? So do you take advantage of people based on a sliding scale or something?

The 3DS sounds impressive, but if any other historical indicator of the Wii is concerned, The 3DS's software library might have more Barbie Horse-riding Adventure and Spongebob titles than Legend of Zelda or Mario.

Wenis5631d ago

I doubt it will be sold out for too long really. I mean it is still a handheld afterall, they are a bit quicker and cheaper to make than a console, plus Nintendo should be more prepared for this now anyways.

MidnightProwler5631d ago

A person must have more money than brains to shell out $1000+ for a hand-held. I say take them for all they are dumb enough to pay.

velocitygamer5631d ago

Not going to reserve mine just yet. I'm going to wait until Sony announce the PSP2. If the PSP2 looks crap, its a 3DS for me!

Woohoo!!!
Just got my preorder today!!!

I will preserve that lil white slip. Also I was the first gamer to preorder the 3DS at one of the (6) gamestops by where I live. So hopefully that guarantees me sealing the deal for my 3DS.

StarScream4Ever5631d ago

I could reserve now...
But I'll wait til the revision. 3DS Lite.

Besides I need the 50 to rent books for spring semester. :(

Prcko5631d ago

umm no thanks,i don't see anything spectacular in this thing,so i don't wanna waste money on something what i don't need!

Arup025631d ago

3D w/o glasses is pretty spectacular for me.

Pedobear Rocks5631d ago

Every cell phone/pmp/tablet and its brother will have parrallax 3D in 2011. It won't be that unique.

itsralf5631d ago

@Pedobear Rocks

I doubt it'll catch on that fast. Maybe in 2014. I wouldn't want a 3D cell phone anyway. Sounds horribly inconvenient, considering how much I use mine.

HarvestMoonRocks5631d ago

you can't judge the 3DS until you actually own one asshole..

Stealth20k5631d ago (Edited 5631d ago )

I guess I will be one of those 4 million people

The systems software is unparalled for what we know form day 1

Everyone is on board

Xfanboy5631d ago (Edited 5631d ago )

(basically a free pre order by registering to gog.com)

http://www.gog.com/en/page/...

but it excites me more than psp2 for now.

edit: disagree?? was I trolling the 3ds with the witcher 2 or something??

DNAbro5631d ago

Shnazzyone5629d ago

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi80d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer81d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot81d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno81d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay81d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno79d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK80d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
