The Daisy Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Target has a holiday ad brochure on their site advertising it for that price. Target leaks DS for $99 pricing? Check pages 56 and 57 for info, click on the kid on the top middle on the left page. Damnit... now I am going to end up with two of these.

Anthony G Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Very tempting! I'll have to see how much damage to my wallet the 360 is going to cause. Thanks for the find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Suh WEET! Thanks Glen. I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on a DS real soon. I think now is the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I have a feeling this might be a typo because the micro is $99.99. Maybe they just posted the wrong price. The price just went down on the DS at the end of August. Seems like if they were going to do a holiday price drop it would have been before thanksgiving. Also it would immediately make the mario kart bundle a horrible deal unless you were just fixated on getting a red ds. I'd like this to be true. I just have a hard time believing it.

The Daisy Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I just report 'em. They also have the Micro in that ad for the $99 price point. It could be a typo, but who knows. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splunk Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Not to thread crap, but I don't see Gamestop doing this on their own.... The Micro now has a $10 instant rebate to make it $89.99. That $10 has to come from somewhere 'cause I'd be shocked if Gamestop were actually taking a hit. So this may very well be a new price on the DS. Guess we'll find out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonJam Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Joystiq seems to think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I got the ad yesterday in the mail. I'm going to head there tomorrow and pick one up for a friend. I need to get him going on Mario Kart. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shine5555 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 So this is real? When can I go get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 If you didn't get the flyer, you should be able to go to Cheapassgamer and get a copy of the scanned ad and try and take that to your local Target and see if they will price match it. Apparently they've changed the price on the online version of the ad now, so it has become a YMMV deal in Target stores. Best Buy and Circuit City on the other hand should match the ad without any questions... should.... Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Glen, I just dropped by a Target here informing them that I knew about the sales flyer. She said, "There was a price match at corporate, but we are honoring the price if you have the flyer with you. Just dont tell any of your friends." I'll try to download the flyer from cheapassgamer. Thanks for the tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted December 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I'm trying to get a hold of a friend of mine to see if he wants this. Otherwise I'll have to see how much my wife likes Nintendogs and Mario and Luigi. If she does get into them, then she'll need her own system to play around with.

Starhawk Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Picked up a DS last night at Target for $99. Thanks for starting this thread, Glen! The manager was a little skeptical when I handed her a printout of the ad, but once she called the 1-800 number listed in that Joytech article, everything was a go.

The Daisy Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 You're welcome. My wife is now the proud owner of an Electric Blue DS. Thank you very much for your painless pricematching Circuit City. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
