Dundas, being the flag ship store, will almost always have stock way over what they need. They have literally towers of 3DS systems at the launch in March 2011. I doubt it'll be a problem for downtown Toronto at least.

I'm going to be there when they first open tomorrow to make sure I can get in on the deal.
not at the same time, no
I'm not too worried about supply. 3DS isn't such a hot ticket item that they're going to be running out of them on launch day, probably. I'll definitely go before noon though, anyway.
Which colour are you guys getting? I'm still undecided, but leaning towards "Mega Man Blue"

If you guys are curios about the 3ds XL, the GameStop on Yonge street across from TEC has a demo
So i cant go with :
- Tintin 360
- Tintin Wii
- Jockey Champion :lol:
- Revelations
- Arkham City
* No duplicate titles accepted, regardless of console. * damn.

Do you guys think I can sell my old 3ds for $100, or is that too high?
I don't think $100 is too high. It might not be so low that even someone who didn't really want a 3DS will feel like they have to snatch it up (this is me and the XL right now...), but anyone who's been looking for a deal would likely be getting one for 100 bucks.
Unless they're in the loop about this FS trade-in thing, of course

People have been going with the $100-120 range on craigslist / Kijiji with success.

I'm still holding out for the 3ds with the second stick.

I had little luck with Staples and Future Shop's used selection, so my trade in deal isn't really much of a deal as I'm tapping into some of my own games. Still, I don't plan on replaying them immediately so some (like ME3) will likely see a big price drop soon.
-Max Payne 3 (I'll probably buy another copy at Walmart tomorrow for myself, twenty bucks is a great deal and the Uptown Walmart had a shit-ton of them)
-Mass Effect 3
-Tintin
-Saints Row the Third
-Assassin's Creed Revelations (used the coupon on this)
That leaves me to find something for NSMB...I'll probably just nab another Max Payne 3 and trade it in the next day or later on or something.

You don't even have to wait a day. MP3 can be used twice as long as they're in separate transactions. ie, one for Mario, another for the XL.

I know, but I'd feel like an RFDer doing that, even though I know it's within their trade-in policy.
The guy at FS suggested I do that. I don't see the point in waiting a day, but if it helps your conscience.
Had there not been 40 MP3 copies at Walmart and if it weren't Future Shop on the other end, I might have felt guilty.
I was actually planning to go to two separate Future Shops because I have two copies of Champion Jockey, but I guess if they're cool with it, I'll do both together. They're only about a 10 minute drive apart, but saved time is saved time (and saved gas)!The guy at FS suggested I do that. I don't see the point in waiting a day, but if it helps your conscience.

I was going to go to Gloucester...but I could just as easily go to Merivale.
edit: yeah actually, I think I'll go to Merivale, since BestBuy is just next door. I'll be able to do my trade for NSMB2 there.
Okay just got home.
Starfox ($10) Amazon
MLB ($25) TRU sale (also grabbed DK, about 25 each)
TinTin Xbox (20) Staples
TinTin Wii (20) Staples)
Resident Evil Revelations (10) trading with someone on craigslist for my extra KH3D which I got for $10 w/ Crush 3D
Total will be $85 before taxes. If the CL trade doesn't work I'll trade in my Mario Kart 7.

I'll probably be there, as I have no idea how many XLs they'll actually have. I think I want red.
Though I won't be in Victoria much longer (boo) as I got a job in Edmonton. That's a pretty rough move, I'm going to miss Victoria a lot.

Ugh, I hope not. I feel for the sales associates.
Hah. No Champion Jockey here.... Because they were sold out.
I'll be there around 9, so just text me when you get there and you can join me in line. All we'll be missing is Stump =p

i wonder how many 3ds XL each futureshop will be getting..
I'm just going to go to Walmart. I can't be bothered to go all around town to find games to exploit a trade in program(and fight with other people to do it).
Walmart opens earlier anyway. Sadly though, I'm going to have to wait until Monday or Tuesday to play NSMBII as I did the $10 off Bestbuy preorder thing.
Edit: Hey, I just looked it up and I got 800 rewards zone points too. Awesome.

That's why you check stock online or call first. I ended up only having to go to Walmart and FS at one mall complex.

Whoops...
Really? That's stupid. I guess I have to give up my extra starfox 3d then. :/
Can you get yourself to Billings Bridge? I can drive you from there.
