Seriously, what's with the sudden massive drop? IT'S AMAZING!!
In Melbourne, they've dropped from $380 to $190. I would buy one if I wasn't waiting for the next version of 3DS to be released.
I've heard there are quite a few things that could be improved with the 3DS, especially battery life, but do you think it'd be worth it now? I mean, The Legend of Zelda 3D is $40 for crying out loud!! I'm almost crying at the price of this stuff!!

I've had it since launch and it's not too bad. A battery expansion can double the life if that's what your worried about. Now that there are more games being released, it's not a bad time to pick one up. I don't think the next version will add much unless it's like a 3DS-XL or something. The current 3DS is about the size of the DS lite. Any problems with it can be fixed under warranty by Nintendo. I still don't have many games for it but I don't think that will be a problem going into next year.

Alrighty, I'll buy one! Considering the fact that Pokemon Rumble Blast, Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 are coming out soon, it's the best time to buy one! :D

Nope, never heard of it before now. Been busy.

Based on what I read about it today, I'll probably buy it. Sounds more interesting than those "Mystery Dungeon" games, but not necessarily as good as the regular adventure games like Black/White. Will have to wait and see.
