Question Which bundle should I buy?

I still do not own a 3DS, and I'm thinking I'll finally buy one. I want a bundle, but I'm not sure which one to get. I'm looking for a good starter game with it, as well as a reasonable MSRP.

Looks like this is the only reasonably priced bundle... (only checked amazon though)

I would advise you to look around online and at your local stores and pick whatever appeals to you the most, getting a bundle is a good option but I wouldn't stick to that unless there's one that offers you both a 3DS design and a game you like. And I would lean more on the design as it's something you'll most likely be stuck with for a few years.

I very much agree with Mike. I've been seeing a lot of people mention random deals they found locally. For instance, one guy found a brand new red Pok?mon 3DS XL (no game included with that system) in his Kmart's clearance section for just $45. I've heard others find great deals too-- not as great as the previous one, but just knowing that cheap system prices are out there is reason enough to do some searching.

With a bunch of money saved on the system, the extra money could be put towards multiple games. You never know!

Thanks, guys! Gaming stuff is usually really expensive around where I am, but I'll be sure to look around. If I can't find one on sale, I'll definitely get the Mario and Luigi Dream Team bundle that Inoperable Brain Tumor linked me to. I found it cheaper at regular price here: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/produ...18fea70b79en02

That's a good price. I had to pay 185? for just my regular Cosmo Black 3DS, that was about two years ago though.

It used to say there were 4 left. I guess things change. I'll search more when I'm ready to buy.

Unfortunately, it's still the same price, and out of stock in Canada. http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/...65855053dben02

And I wouldn't be able to check in store, since there's no Best Buys in my area. Thanks for everyone's help, though! Really appreciate it.
