Bargain Roundup: Mid Year and Toy Sales, Bargains and Nintendo

It’s a great time to pick up a Nintendo 3DS or even a Wii for cheap. While just over a year ago the 3DS was going for over $300 dollars you can find one now for less than $200. Nintendo’s loss is your gain!

The Nintendo DSi, DSi XL and Wii are also cheap. These consoles might be slowly wrapping up but if you haven’t picked up one yet (and you’d be a minority at this stage) then now is the time!

We’ve gone through all the toy catalogues, mid year sales for local stores to find some great prices on hardware and games. If we’ve missed something be sure to let us know in the comments!
