Now imagine selling a pre-owned New 3DS to someone.

Exactly! I work at that game store everyone hates (I'm leaving in 1 month, can't wait), and I remember the headache of explaining the 2DS to folks. The common customer (where I'm from) is painfully ignorant and rude.

Have you ever worked retail? Especially at a place that sells new and used items? This is going to be a nightmare when explaining the console (and its exclusives) to folks who have no idea what they are to begin with. If they would've named it 3DS+, that would've been a better alternative.

Doesn't hurt that she's been involved in some of my favorite series the last decade (Watch Dogs excluded).

Off topic, but she's lovely.

Actually, this wouldn't be all that bad size-wise. Now whether or not you include the handheld games and offshoots like the tingle series (or even Hyrule Warriors) might be a different story.

I think they've adopted the model of "store-within-a-store" where its less about the products and more about the services (looking at the samsung experience, microsoft area, etc). I am super disappointed by their games since they have decent services through their gamer unlocked program.

Nailed it. Of course, Best Buy has had an awful decline in their gaming sections as a whole as of late.

Gah, cardio!

There isn't much that sounds cooler than "Master Cycle". Bad-ass.

good to know! I'm jumping on the PS4 next year.

People treat those demo units like shit though. I assume you take better care of yours (I would hope).

Agreed! I love the living room competitive experience still. That's why Nintendo is wildly relevant in my household. I still enjoy the Sony/MS online experiences, but its not the same when you can't punch the person next to you because of some Mario Party bullshit.

I'm giving you a virtual high-five right now. Article made my day. First system I ever bought with my own money (spending an entire summer mowing lawns), along with a 13'' GE TV. We even did 4-player goldeneye on that baby, and enjoyed the hell out of our tiny screen.

I was so mad I had to work Black Friday and missed the Old Navy promotion... Good for you tho!

Honestly, probably one of the best sports games ever. All of the THQ wrestling titles just kept getting better and better.

Oh GOD... Compared to the WCW vs NWO titles (and subsequent Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy), these are just awful.

Just icing on the cake for a game that I was personally unsure I would get. Day 1 purchase, because, anything with Samus at this point is welcome.

Dude to his left looks straight outa Mass Effect.

I was on the fence about this year's version... until this. Absolute purchase now.
