When Nintendo launched the 3DS earlier this year, plenty of keen gamers forked out $350 a piece to be the first to own a 3D portable system that doesn’t require special 3D eyewear.

If that was a little on the pricy side for you at the time, the good news is that from this Thursday the suggested retail price on the Nintendo 3DS will be just $249.95.

Now don’t feel ripped off if you recently bought one at the original price as Nintendo are also offering a program that will enable early adopters of the 3DS to get access to 20 downloadable game titles from the Nintendo eShop.
