I think that the value of those games exceeds the price difference, so I'd say buy now.
But I'll try sneakier option: I'll try to convince my local store to sell me One few days earlier at the lower perice.
Or the out right dick option: I I buy one few days earlier at the higher price and get the freebies.
And then buy one at the cheaper price, and return that as the expensive 3DS as the same store has return policy of 2 weeks.
scarmullet:
I am glad to see this, I now have a job and can BUY a 3DS. So....when the price drops.
marioxb:
Um I thought the price dropped yesterday?
Oh man, I saw the date July 28th and I thought that was it, but I guess that was the announcment date. The price drops Aug 12th.

All you probably have to do is buy it, then when the price drops two weeks later, price match the difference. I think most stores like Walmart or Best Buy allow that for 30 days or so.
Drakul:
Won't the DLC be tied to your 3DS serial number though?
Personally if I really want some of these games I'll get the retail box version so I'm going to wait for the drop.

This would probably work in most places that won't realize the difference regarding the offer.
Although I think it's a little scummy, given that many of us paid $250 for the console, and the games are supposed to compensate for that. If you can sleep at night freeloading those games for the lower price.... go right ahead. But don't expect those of us who paid $250 legit to approve.
