So EB Games have this special trade in deal that no one knows about right now, they're only supposed to tell people who question whether to buy one or not. So the deal is trade in your old DSi and get the 3DS for $174.
And they also have every launch title for $38.

Enjoy Guys :)

EDIT: Sorry should've posted in the pre-orders section.

Yeah thats what I was told, but only if you buy your 3DS there. And limit to 1 of each game.

Oh, so it's buy a console and get a cheap game. That makes sense.

Yeah but you can buy every launch title, but only 1 of each. I'm gonna go cancel my Big W online pre-order. Rayman 3D got crappy reviews.

I'm going to call them tomorrow afternoon, to confirm this.

Although, what I heard from the Nintendo guys at the 3DS Tour, is that if you trade your DSi in at EB Games, you get it for half price...meaning...

$349 divided by 2...

$174.

What EB Games shows commercially is that you only get one of the Ubisoft Titles, Super Monkey Ball or Sims 3 for $38...are you saying I can get Street Fighter for that price?

I reckon that's a pretty alright deal, considering the $38 launch titles. I heard this from the Nintendo Experience in the city btw.

Only from IGN. It's generally been getting around 7/10, which will probably be better than most launch games. For an 11 year old port, that's decent. Not really a game you'd buy though, but as a free launch title it's probably good enough.

Street Fighter will be the best launch title. Although, if you've got it on a console, you'll be left disappointed. It's not as good and doesn't suit a handheld as well.

It's a secret? I saw a sign outside EBGames (ironcially at the same shopping centre the 3DS was on show) mentioning about how the games are only $38 if you buy from them. Seems like your EB likes to keep their offers secret. :P

Also, I seem to recall it saying something about it being limited to certain titles. So someone might wanna confirm if it was all, or just some.

The $174 part is the secret, they're not advertising it. Hence the public trade-in deal is $100 off when you trade it in.

Mention you want to do the B-line trade in deal.

Also I called my local EB and they said not every game is for $38, yet when I called the Nintendo Experience they said every game SHOULD be $38 but wasn't sure. So I'm kinda confused too.

Yeah, only
Ubisoft titles
Sims 3
and Monkey Ball are $38.

So, how about "I heard the 3DS price is actually $174 when you trade in your DSi?"

I rang them today and asked, it is defitnetly a deal and it's not only for preorders.

It isn't actually a hidden one because they did mention it at the 3DS tour that was going around and he quite freely told me on the phone that it is a current deal
