I dunno if this is just dayton, ohio, but i went to two radio shacks and bought a new dsi xl for only $90 and $100. i dunno if the price changed because it was a different store or different day. given the recent price drop of the 3ds, this doesn't come as a surprise...what is a surprise is that no other store, to include online and local popular spots like best buy, etc., still has the $170 price tag. i'm jus sayin if you've been looking for this handheld...especially with the holidays coming around the corner.
