I had one for 2 glorious weeks after buying it at initial release. Then my baby brother dumped water or something on it while I was at work. That was a lot of money for a teenager at the time. I is sad

Well they are not that expensive just yet. I would grab one, I am actually planning on getting another one just for the sake of it

They were quite expensive when first released, especially compared to the ds

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they were $299 in my area at release

Right, I think the base model was 250 In the US but the ds was like 125 or 150, also just for fun the inflation matched price today would be 391
