GoNintendo is reporting that the 3DS has received a temporary price drop at Walmart retailers, shaving $10 off the price. It’s not a huge amount, but you can check it out online, or in stores if you want to save a few bucks.
Officially, it’s over a week before the Midnight Purple 3DS should be available. But, supposedly, the new colour has become available at some Walmart locations. If you want to pick it up, you might want to check out your local retailer. There’s photos of the colour after the break from a display at the Nintendo World Store.
There is a huge price drop for the 3DS starting on August 12th. But, according to this source Walmart will lower the price to $169.99 three days early. This means you can purchase the 3DS and get the free games as a part of the ambassador program. This is all a rumour at this point, but it does come from a reliable source.
