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.

You should. The 3DS is the real successor to the DS, DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL. If you check the specs, the only thing that is different between said four DSes, the only things that differ are:

- Screen Size
- Brightness
- Addition of Camera
- ...I'm not sure if battery life is the same, but yeah.

The 3DS has an upgraded graphics chip inside it, and a lot more, but I really can't go into detail here.

3DS battery life is dismal compared to DSi.

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

I believe you, Chucky. I'm gonna call them up tommorow, just to confirm. If my EB Games fails me, someones gonna be a-ragin'.

May aswell, who knows, some EBs could be full of it, well we know fior sure some are.

Just had a look at the details of battery, supposedly the battery lif of the 3DS on brightest level is between 3-5 hours, on the DSi it 3-4 hours on brightest

Well I don't have a DSi to trade in, (not that I would if I did).

That actually sounds like a good trade deal :O

Does anyone know how much value you get from trading in a Lite console towards a 3DS ?

ebgames will give you $50 for the ds lite (minimum) it says when you trade it in towards a 3ds. i guess that means you will be able to use an edge+ card and get 15% more trade value maybe. but that would only bring it to $57.50 for your ds lite.

I think they were waiting til after it was released, to advertise this deal and people had already traded theirs in for the lesser price.
Anyways i decided against trading in my DSi and bought mine at K-mart with the gift card i had gotten at x-mas which i had nearly forgotten about! so paid less than 200 for it :)
