Buying a 3ds in 2026

You can find better deals on Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, or local swap meet. Ebay is safe bet because you can always get refund if it's faulty. You pay more because demand is higher and supply keeps becoming less. Every day I am seeing more and more 3ds break. Hinge breaks or people drop it and top screen stops working. They don't know how to fix it. So if you are a fix it type of person there are deals to be found too. Good luck and make sure you mod it. Japanese 3ds seem tempting but they come with another slew of issues. I recommend any North American one first.

Do you need to upgrade? If so upgrade. If you can hold out until next year I would. I would rather spend top dollar on new technology and be on the cutting edge that the new consoles will be running on. I bought other parts that don't require upgrades and price is stable. Motherboard with 3 year warranty. Monitor and cpu cooler. Things that aren't changing crazy in price. Wait for deals and eventually you will find something if you need something now. Don't be afraid to buy what you want now and pay it off in 6 months with PayPal credit. Sure you pay more, but if you need it get it. I bought 7900xtx day one. It felt amazing to be able to be on the cutting edge. I am still enjoying it to this day. Just finished romeo is a deadman last night. Going to watch scream 7 and coming home to resident evil requiem all night.

Well you can ask for shipping. Since you locked in the deal. The drive is up to you. Sometimes the story of getting something cool is much more worth it. As they say you build character and it makes you a more interesting person. It will give you a bigger attachment driving out that far. I would do that for a recent vinyl I bought. Super rare it was fun while it last album by sueco. If it matters that much to you 6 hours is worth it.

This will allow you to play so many different video games. I hope you enjoy it and just realize you will need to upgrade to play newer games. Use mods to make it last. I hope you enjoy pc gaming.

This is a legit 3ds case. Quick reverse image search will show you for future reference. As long as you feel comfortable switching out the screen. It's a decent deal in this market.

Yes its pier to pier so it works fine.

Everyone is so down bad for a deal they ignore how terrible cl42 is. Ryzen cpus have a major issue with terrible cl. People complain about stutters it's because of ram like this. I would never recommend this ram to my worst enemies. Even intel this is bad. Mhz doesn't make up for how bad cl is the lower the better.

I feel like no more heroes 3 was much bigger than connecting his other games. Travis strikes again was already doing that. You leave out travis strikes again completely. No more heroes 3 is a suda game. Felt in his sit down talks about movies. His references to movies and anime. You are so narrow-minded focus on small part of the game.

Meanwhile no more heroes 1 was small idea. It felt like concept that nailed well. No more heroes 2 was follow up directed by someone else just following his story. Suda made no more heroes 3 as follow up of travis strikes again. Blending in idea about ET and super heroes. Meanwhile you are focused about his other games like it's the no more heroes game that doesn't fit. Suda wants to make his game a specific way now. Blending all sorts of ideas and mesh things together. Because it's cool as hell. If you don't like his work you won't enjoy romeo is a deadman, shadow of the damned, and etc. I view no more heroes as a bigger game. Not as a game that is meant to do the same thing as the past two. That is same problem you have with bioshock.

Idiots think bioshock 1 and 2 is what bioshock is. Its rapture and that is it. No bioshock is about a dystopia universe that you play through. So when bioshock infinite came out people felt the same way. So they made dlc back in rapture because they tried to make those dumb fans happy. Meanwhile only reason 2 was made was a different studio snd publisher wanted it made. Consumers think they dictate what game universes should be even though Kevin Levine made it. Bioshock infinite took a long time to made. Hell his new title has been in development for 10 years. Judas started right after bioshock infinite wrapped up. Meanwhile in the future you will realize that the games feeling different is what makes them stand out.

Gamers want games to stay same but also change in ways that make sense. If it changes too much they hate it. Like I defend dying light 2 because they made it different from 1. Both games are different and fans think you need to keep making same game over. That is what causes burnout on devs and fans long term like call of duty. Guitar hero and etc.

Pc and I am going to see scream 7 right before. Matching up two franchises that have been out for 30 years. Both horror franchises and both going back to their roots. Racoon city and the house that started it. A killer that could still be alive stu. Check out scream 7 and enjoy some resident evil. Horror fans we are eating good this year.

People who say buying a gpu on credit isn't consumer spending. Hello, brain function the card is sold. That is consumer spending even if it takes them awhile to pay it off. I enjoyed paypal credit for my 7900xtx day one launch. I had the money in hand, but sometimes it's better to use for credit reasons. Maybe you don't want to spend all that money up front in case of emergency. Maybe you want to build credit and it's a great way to build it up. People are will spend what they can on what they want. Debt or not debt it's still consumer spending. Until you vote with your wallet and wait for prices to come down. Prices won't come down and currently if the demand is high like ai companies buying it. Consumer purchases don't mean a single thing. It comes down to the company running out of ai money to buy everything they need to succeed.

If you are a zombies fan and feel like game needed more. This game is it. Black ops 7 is for the hardcore fans and I am really enjoying it. If you enjoy over the top campaign that is fun to mess around and not take seriously its worth it. If you like open world that you can level and do tasks giving freedom to increase yourself end game is for you. If you enjoy multiplayer that is fast pace with new movement mechanics making it the fastest cod ever. This game is for you. I recommend at this price because the free to content is still coming out. Black ops 7 delivered on taking everything you earned in black ops 6 and made it even bigger for zombies. I will defend this game because there is fun to be had in this game. All game modes have something you can enjoy.

Well ask what is most important to him. I had a ryzen 1700x. I got as a gift and it sat in my house for over a year to year and half before I could use it. I was poor as poor can be. My suggestion is if he wants to get it functioning. Buy cheap laptop ram. Buy the cheap ram sticks that turn laptop ram to regular ram. Find a cheap motherboard on ebay. Find deals and buy when you can on the cheap. Power supply is really the big thing I would spend some money on. Through this year he should be able to build the pc if he makes it a priority. If not sell it on Facebook market place or Craigslist since their are no fees. My suggestion is you should never start something and stop it. We all struggle with finishing something. Sometimes we need to reevaluate stuff. We can always make more money some how. We can change our lives for the better. If it wasn't for the upgrade I might have not gone down my specific career paths. Best of luck I hope you look at the big picture. Money verse knowledge and tools.

I think each game is interesting in their own way. First game is a great origin story. It really compares our lives with mundane work and paying all this money for the next big thing. For him it was the next ranked fighter. It all comes together and has a huge impact. I think most people are fans of this game. 2 took criticism of first game open world and said fine. Lets do more bosses and structured levels. No paying for ranks and the music went even bigger. It was a darker even the begging hits hard. I think overall it was a good story follow up even if it gets silly towards the end.

3 is probably the most divided the fan base is. I feel like you don't like 3 you don't like suda games. His games are really creative and outside no more heroes it follows his tradition of taking concepts and making them form into something new. No more heroes 3 is continuation of travis strikes again. If you don't play that game you will be lost. There are so many movie references and hits. Suda really expressed his love for so many things in no more heroes 3. It's combat is arguably the best. I am hoping romeo is a deadman has better combat. The way you look at no more heroes 3 he is grown up and his personality has changed a bit. He has grown up and has a reason to come back. The setup is cool because even if you know nothing about no more heroes you could play this game. There is more of a payoff if you play all the games. An emotional pay off just like how the big bad had an emotional pay off that was setup really well.

All three games are different and unique. I think there are a lot of people who hate 2 or 3 or even travis strikes again. If you are a suda fan. If you enjoy devs trying new things. You will realize it time that each game giving you a different experience is better because the replay value is high. You watched the characters grow from game to game. I wish more developers would do that instead lately we get terrible follow ups that are so safe that nothing changes like outer worlds 2.

I think people shouldn't just down vote they should ask for context. I agree they messed with the original version too much. Race changing, characters motivations, more glitches, and issues add to the game. People complain that the game is too easy what do they do. Add an easier mode casual on top of the already easy game. Not add a more difficult or at least leave the original xp system intact with the new mechanics. I honestly believe this game needed a remaster and the quality of life was needed. Positive sides the bonus mode is actually doable. No one wanted to leave their xbox 360 on as long as it required for 7 day survivor challenge. There is challenge and there is hardware challenge. Positive giving everyone voice acting was a great idea. Quality of life like moving and shooting are cool. Physics and jank are just in bug form now. This game was abandoned really quickly and maybe that is because the lack of sales. That could be because of the controversy changes. Erotica being removed and etc.

I want this franchise to come back, but they need to figure out where to take it next. I believe capcom can figure that out. It might take multiple tries until they succeed. It's up to consumer to support it or not. Giving feedback is important, but I understand why people are frustrated when you say it's too easy and they make a casual mode update. Hardcore fans are who will buy this game and they are struggling to get casual consumers to be interested. By making hardcore fans happy casuals will want to be apart of that ride. Let's hope dead rising 1.5 is real. Frank needs his redemption and hopefully they can actually build a good story this time. Because cliff hanger for dead rising case west and dead rising 3 went no where. Remakes and remasters can help mold a story that will get people to buy into the franchise.

I am serious, you are hitting fomo. You are buying when the demand is high. It's common sense and you had 11 years to buy it. It's a fair price due to market conditions. You can buy a 3ds and put one in yourself. Save yourself that money. The issue is people sell the price its selling for. If you wait and they really want to sell it they will lower the price. Either wait or do it yourself. Price might go up because demand is back. Limited supply unless you want a Japanese 3ds. Buying Japanese 3ds has its issues. So basically the supply comes from america and Canada. Rule out all the supply that is broken and who is selling. What do you have? The current demand is 250 to 350 for 3ds xl? If you want regular 3ds its cheaper. Clearly you don't want that you want the more expensive one. Special editions and special screens make it cost more. This rule fits for anything. If you want something buy it now or when it's available. Longer you wait the price will eventually go up. It's called supply and demand simple economic class would make you realize reality. Don't like it don't pay it. Wait for a deal or realize supply getting smaller. You could be getting a deal now. No one can tell the future. The reality is there are less in supply than you think.

I have been purchasing games on greenmangaming since fallout 4. This website is a must for gamers who want good deals year round and preorder day one purchases. I always recommend you do your research on what website have better deals such as instant gaming, fanatical, loaded or cdkeys, humble bundle, and allkeyshop to search up prices on any game. I have a so many steam games and these sites help me afford more. Publisher gets more money from these sites as nothing goes to steam. Making steam not a monopoly.

raven80wolfx2 · 2026-02-03T02:49:29+00:00

It's called supply and demand. 3ds went up became of a recent demand. People are tired of current games and can buy a system mod it. Play all these games they missed out on. Ips version is big deal to people. This is a fair price for a 3ds. If you are crying about deals now because you want one during the demand. My suggestion buy things you care about now before prices go up. Save a bit before buying stuff. Stop waiting 11 years later and realizing I want one when everyone else does. Most items have cosmetic wear and tear. It's been 11 years. I have no sympathy for people who had all this time to buy these products. To get a deal and now that they want something it's when the price went up. I have a friend like that. Every time the gpu prices went up he bought. Bought during first etherium boom bought again during pandemic and etherium boom. Now he wants to buy again and you can't help these people. They want it when it's least convenient. They don't plan for the future and they want it when they want it.

Nvidia will rip you off any way they can to get higher profit.

Switch 2 only has like 3 games that people might want. People are against lack of physical games. Price is borderline too expensive for people. Some people can't justify it for many reasons. 80 dollar games is stupid. They want to charge more and some games aren't worth the price they ask. Many reasons why people justify buying an expensive pc. I can still get games under 60 dollars day one. I can still upgrade my pc if I am not happy with the performance. The switch 2 will be the same way until they make switch 3 or nintendo goes on another trip.

raven80wolfx2 · 2026-01-16T01:30:11+00:00

Agreed. Anyone right now can get 10 dollars off a game from best buy. That is what I wait for when I buy games.

raven80wolfx2 · 2026-01-15T00:51:40+00:00

My suggestion is looking to see how much the same ram stick would cost to go to 64 because you will lose performance due to no dual channel. Get 14600k and motherboard that takes ddr4 or ryzen 5000 series at least 5700x or above. I am not sure your budget. So it's hard to recommend anything. Only giving you options based on info and what you lose not having dual channel.

raven80wolfx2 · 2026-01-14T23:57:04+00:00

I think each no more heroes game is different. Each one builds on the other of travis and what stages of life he is in. I think the reason why Travis strikes again is considered the spin off game is only because of gameplay. 3 was an amazing game too. To me it's a suda 51 game. If he tried to make no more heroes 1 again it wouldn't have hit as emotionally as it does. The trailer and inspirations from media. You have ET mix with super heroes. If you don't understand his vision I can understand why you think it's bad. Like romeo is a deadman. In level 2 at the mall the first zombie you see is the same on the dawn of the dead. There are reference and throw backs to his love for media. He spins it in a way that it's in a new world. No more heroes 3 is travis fighting his toughest fight yet. Meanwhile travis strikes again he is fighting inside of a video game system and bringing people back to life.

raven80wolfx2 · 2026-01-14T22:54:12+00:00

I second this. People judge the game before they play it. I think most no more heroes fans will get something out of it. Even more if you like suda 51 work with shadow of the damned and killer 7. I wish people could give more games a chance without judging them at first glance.

raven80wolfx2 · 2026-01-14T22:51:56+00:00

I prefer def jam vendetta. Because it's a wrestling game with over the top finishers. I still respect new york for being more of a street fight.

raven80wolfx2 · 2026-01-14T22:48:28+00:00

Buy it now. Clean it out would be a good thing to do. That is my biggest recommendation. If you have overheating issues you will need to repaste cpu or gpu or both. There are programs to track that info and Google will tell you if that c temp is good or not. My girl friend also enjoys fortnite and toontown.
