GameStop will apparently offer a trade-in deal for the Nintendo 3DS XL, which will launch in North America on August 19th. You can get the Nintendo 3DS XL for $100 cheaper from GameStop, if you exchange an original Nintendo 3DS. The deal is being offered only during launch weekend. GameStop should be able to allow costumers to transfer data between the two handhelds.
Thanks, Jacob.
first!
go kill yourself
or i will eat your face
I spoke with my local Gamestop and they said I can buy the 3DS XL at regular price, go home and transfer my data, and then bring the old 3DS back with my receipt within 5 business days, and they’ll give me $125 in-store credit or $100 cash.
sweet

nah im sorry guys, i aint a troll, it was just a first time thing. im sorry
You’re not sorry you loser.
Dont mind these half wits… they just like complaining… I always say whats worst than someone commenting “first”… People who complain about it
Cool story bro, would you like a cookie?
It would be a great deal if I could get one in white!
second
i wouldn’t \o_o/
Because I’d lose all $50 worth of downloadable games and ambassador games and all my save data on my 3DS games if I did.
It said in the article tha they’ll let you transfer your data in-store
i called my gamestop and they do not have internet so I can’t do the system transfer in the store. that that sucks !!!
I don’t think it requires an internet connection. The systems detect one-another directly, from my understanding.
Yes it does.

I wouldn’t, only because I have one of those black and gold Zelda editions.
so $100.00…but you will need YOUR charger to trade in or the deal won’t go down…tell them that SickR……Then you will need to buy a new charger for the XL
SickR
not in the americas, the 3ds xl comes with a charger
Maybe he isnt American…
then this deal won’t apply to him.
I live on a island in Russia called Vlack
i figured that, but the article does mention america, so…
I like this deal! It sounds fair. But I am strongly against the fact that you are not given a new charger..,
It comes with an AC Adapter in North America ^_^
Sweet :) Then it is truly a good deal :) Sadly I am not a fan of Nintendo’s re-releases of their systems. That’s one thing I dislike about them lately :/
im still keeping my 3ds and getting the 3ds xl on the 19th but gamestop does have a bundle that comes with nsmb2
yeah, but it is the same price than if you were to buy them separately.
Now that is interesting. I do believe the DS/3DS charger will work with this, right? I still have my old DS, so maybe I could use that? I’m interested in the new screen.
Wait, on their website, it says the 3DS XL already comes with the AC adapter in the US. It doesn’t include the charging cradle, but I never used it anyways. Now I’m interested in it. I will have to call gamestop and ask them if they’ll be able to transfer my data (saves and all) to the new system.
my Gamestop doesn’t because they do not have internet there. But yours might have internet, I heard the Gamestops in the malls have internet.
The US gets a charger with the system. FYI the DSi chargers work with the 3DS/3DS XL but not the original DS nor the DS lite.
I love how the word gamestop links to that article yesterday about them being an awful company
I think I’d rather buy a 3DSXL, transfer the data to my old 3DS, and then sell my 3DS for like 120 to a friend or on craigslist. That’s just me though.
Good idea i agree with you there lol.
That’s what I’m going to do. My nephew has one already so I figured it’d be nice to sell them mine for a 100 so my nieces can play on it, then I can get an extra street pass!
I like deals GameStop/EB Games offer.
Like I got my 3DS on day 1 for 125$ instead of 250$ because I traded 5 games.
Good deal.
So you traded 5 games you paid 50-60 for each for 125 off a 3DS oh wow such a great deal.
They were second hand games, were you expecting 50$ in credits ? lol
hi there yes trade in 5 games that means 3ds xl cost $100
Nice offer but I’m still waiting. A true gentlemen must be patience.
what the fuck was the charging cradle even used for. It just looked like a nicer way to charge the
3ds but is that it?
I’m going to be patient as well. They’re bound to come up with an updated version just as they do with every gameboy.
Eh, it’s a nice deal, but I think I’ll stick with my original 3DS.
same
You may want to change “costumer” to “customer” Alba lol :P

Whats with this ad?
i don’t trust gamestop at all.
Nice deal but i like my original =]
3DS XL OR WII U, WHAT SHOULD I GET FIRST?!
Both! :)
only 1 first!
Well since the 3DS XL comes out first get that one first, and then get the Wii U when it gets released later this year.
hi there wii u becuase of wii u tablet controler is like a small ipad
Will the puzzle pieces and hats transfer?
All your data will transfer.
lmfao do you think gamestop is going to transfer your files lmfao do you think there going to deal with each customer for 30 min maybe more for a system transfer…. really…imagine that happening during black Friday and Christmas time. a system transfer from gamestop i don’t think its going to happen so if you purchased eshop games and trade your 3ds say goodbye to your purchases and hope you didn’t forget to delete your credit card info and profile before trading
The deal is only on the launch weekend of the 3DS XL and i’m sure they would have you go off to the side to do the transfer so you don’t hold up the line.
my Gamestop told me over the phone that the deal is for 1 week. And i asked about the possibility to trade in my 3DS, pay the full amount for the XL take both systems home to do a system transfer and the bring back the 3DS to get my credit. They said they might be willing to do that since they do not have internet there.
You need internet to do the transfer? I thought it was just using the wireless connection.
No, unfortunately you need internet connection to do a system transfer. Nintendo really needs to change that.
hi there your right a storm can knock out the internet why not use street pass or spot pass
yes byou need wi-fi internet
And they did. I bought 2 3ds xl’. for $400 and went home to do the transfers, then went back with the 2 original 3ds’ and the receipt and i got $200 back in cash.
This seems, good and especialy if they will let you transfer data to the XL but… does this deal have a ending date? cause really I just got my 3ds during all the black friday and ect. and its till looks like new. Everything buttons,screems,circle pad,3d slider :U
so this promotion is only going to be done on Sunday(For the US)..because when I called Gamestop today and they told me about this promotion they didnt mention to me any time frame for this promotion, basically just said it would be done for the week but the sooner I come in the better so that I can guarantee myself a 3ds XL..I probably wouldnt be able to go til sometime next week but if I Have no choice I will go sooner than that
There’s a deal at san Antonio gamestop which if you preorder the 3dsxl you’ll get new super Mario bros 2 for free. I don’t know if its at different gamestops but its news worthy.
Wait are u serious? The gamestops in LA no one mentioned that to me..which Gamestop in San Antonio I will let them know maybe they can do the same offer
It’s official, I want to get an XL. Good thing I have the money!

When I called my Gamestop last night, they have no record of this promotion nor is it in their ads for this week (8/15 – 8/21). They said they only have their standard trade in ($50) and the special extra $25 from the ad. That’s only $75, not $100. Disappointed until I looked at the source for this post, not exactly “rock solid” IMHO.
Our Gamestop (Oregon) has this deal.
