Nintendo 3DS Price Cut - GAME putting up DSI prices

You all probably know about the Nintendo 3DS price cut announced for tomorrow, Friday 12 August 2011?
I was in GAME store today discussing a possible trade in deal for a DSI XL (sorry I've zero interest in 3D games) from my DSI Lite. The instore price for DSI XL is £139.99 (any colour) I said I might return tomorrow because it could be cheaper with the 3DS taking a huge price cut. The assistant showed me the sticker they will be putting up tomorrow in GAME windows for DSI XL £145.99. Cheeky or what! They obviously want to push the 3DS.
Anyway, my local Sainsburys is selling Red Wine & Chocolate DSI XL for £129.99 with my Nectar points balance that's a good discount on the product I want. Obviously it might be cheaper elsewhere and of course if yer after a 3DS the world's yer oyster tomorrow!!!

For people saying "I have no interest in 3D games" : You realise the 3D is optional (you can switch it off), and that the 3DS also plays DS games?0

I agree bigger screen gets my vote every time!! DS games on 3DS are at roughly same size as ordinary DSI. Tho I do get the point about switching 3D effect off.
The choice is yours but I really suggest camping out at Tesco if you want the 3DS tomorrow.Former MSE user - I don't post on MSE anymore, or respond to PMs. I would like to be able to officially set profile to "former user" which would be helpful as it seems you can never leave MSE - just choose not to use it!0
