Kinda meh bundles but I bet you'd be able to return the games somewhere for credit and get different ones.

Down to $89.99. So why is a 5400 rpm better than 7200 rpm? Does the hybrid SSD make that much of a difference?

Supposedly. But only if you're playing the same game over and over. If you're constantly swapping, the hard drive isn't nearly as fast as it could be.

This thing has 64 gigs of "SSD storage", so the standard 5400 rpm drive puts the files on that SSD drive to give them quick access. If you're constantly swapping games, the 64 gigs will always change, so you're really going to be running off of 5400 rpm and now SSD.

If that explains things for you.

buy a new one from walmart, return broken one later, problem solved

So I broke the touchpad on one of my PS4 controllers. Last weekend just a little bit of beer spilled on the d-pad and it started 'sticking' the next day. I took the controller apart, cleaned out the d-pad and put it back together. Now the touch area on the touchpad doesn't work. The button when you press it down, does, however. At 60 bucks a pop, I need to fix this bitch.

Looking at some dissemble pics and videos, I think I see a flat ribbon cable that connects the touchpad towards another part of the ps4 controller. Those cables easily pop out when putting back something together. I'd recommend you check it out.

3ds zelda bundle for $150 is tempting but seems a waste for just one game.

One game? There are quite a few good to great 3DS games.

Just ordered this, was 89.99 with free prime shipping. So must have dropped the price at some point today.

Hmmm I ordered mine as well but it's still 99 :/

Yeah, It dropped down to $89.99 for a little bit yesterday. It's back up to $99.99 now, for some reason.

There are easily 10-20 great games on the 3DS depending on your tastes.

I decided against it. The three games I am interested in is Zelda, Pokemon, and Tales of the Abyss. I can play Tales through a PS2 or whatever emulator. I really want to play Zelda but oh well. And I reasoned away Pokemon with I was too old to play that. I'll pick one up next year maybe. I have way too large of a backlog of games to play, especially with just buying Tales of Xilia, Ni No Kuni, and Kingdom Hearts 1.5.

3ds xl is $150 at target today, i bought one online as a gift last night but it seems to be sold out online right now. it will be in stores tonight, I believe target opens at 6pm or 8pm but choose wisely, there are probably lines already started at some of them

also a lot of online places having sales on games starting today, like $10 ones at microsoft store, frys online ordering for pickup, etc, etc.

You arenevertoo old to play Pokemon, bro. And you should be interested in a lot more than that. Games like Fire Emblem: Awakening, Kingdom Hearts DDD, the SMT games, the Etrian Odyssey games, Project X Zone, plus older DS games like The World Ends With You, more Fire Emblem, DQ9, etc.
