What is the cheapest anyone got a nintendo DSi or DSi xl for last Christmas?

Not sure if we are going that route this year, but my SIL got them for her kids at TRU for $169 with a $25 git card...she said you cant ever use coupons on them..wondering if that was a good price

It might have been a "good" price for xmas last year, but I would say no way right now.  You can get a Nintendo 3DS right now at Target for $169.  They just slashed ("they" being Nintendo, not Target) the price by $80. 

Since they did that on the 3DS, I'd say the regular DSi consoles will follow suit soon and have a price cut.  That being said, I got a regular DSi (not the XL) for $149 back in March.  I can't remember if I got a gift card with it...or if it came bundled with a game.

Using one of those might make me dizzy!  I just meant that I can't imagine Nintendo will keep their regular DSi consoles at the same price as the 3DS--so if you're patient you might be able to get the DSi for MUCH cheaper than $169 or $149.  I guess I'm assuming...

I believe I paid $159 for the DSiXL last Christmas - the red bundle with Mario Kart. It is now $220 on Amazon (where I got it), non-bundled $169. The 3DS has had horrible sales which I think is why they've slashed the price, so I'm not sure how much that will really affect the DSi.

I got the same one for the same price on Amazon last year. They had that sale with timed deals and I just watched that for a few minutes until a ds popped up.
