Yeah, I'd be happy with £15 (plus packaging of course) for the two. That'd cover the cost of getting the game in the first place. I mightn't put it on till I get back from my holiday though (In a weeks time. I leave tomorrow.)

A few places seem to be dropping the price of the 3DS early. As much as I'd like to drop in between early adopters and the NES game deadline at the $170 price point, I'm finding myself drawing a blank when coming up with reasons to own this thing.

I would say good first party games, but I dont think you are a huge fan of nintendos first party games.

There's not even any decent first party games out right now, other than Ocarina of Time and Star Fox. Even at $170, this thing is not worth picking up for Steel Diver or Pilotwings.

Ahem!

I would like to argue that Super Street Fighter 4 and Dead Or Alive Dimensions are also good games!

(If you like fighting games, which I do. Very much so)

Plus if you didn't have a DSi, then its pretty cool to have a 3DS and buy DSiWare for it.

Still am disappointed in the lack of titles though.

I'd probably suggest buying it next year, as hopefully some more good titles will be be on there.

If the 3DS gets as much RPGs as the DS did, then it should do fine.

If you can get the 3DS for 170 and get the 20 free games, I'd say go for it, since at least the upcoming first party games are going to be cool. A lot of waiting in the meantime, though.

The music has (by and large) been available freely for years. This is the same soundtrack that came out when the N64 version was on store shelves, plus one bonus track. Pretty sure, anyway.

True, but the future shows games that I'm interested in. Sadly, these games are not titles everybody is interested in.
Im waiting for
Mario Kart 7
Kingdom Hearts DDD
Super Mario 3d land(cautious on this one though)
Resident Evil Revations
Luigi's Mansion
Kid Icarus Uprising
Smash Bros(which isnt even in production yet)

So for me it seems pretty good, sadly not everyone shares my opinion, and the 3ds' future doesnt look too bright in sales.

I'm also looking forward to most of those, but games I want in the future don't justify a system purchase today.

True, but the fact that any further price reductions are unlikely anytime soon, and the added bonus of the freebie stuff, It's certainly worth considering.

Plus, Rayman 3D is pretty decent. Moreso if you haven't played the other rayman 2 ports. The only reason it scores low on metacritic and the like is because it's had very little added/changed.

I also don't have $170, so there's that too. But even if I did, I'd be more likely to put the money toward the PS3 I've been wanting.

Ok I need some clarification. I thought this CD had like, 50 tracks on it or something. The Zelda: Ocarina of Time soundtrack I currently have has like 13 orchestrated tracks.

OOT is the only thing urging me to buy this. Heck, I'm buying the game even if I never get a 3DS. I have to complete my collection.

I haven't opened mine (i'll be flogging it on someday) but it only comes on one disc, either the tracks are all super short or there's only the 13/14 or whatever.

No track listing on the back i'm afraid.

Club Nintendo America is running an extremely time-sensitive offer for early buyers of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. If you register your copy of the game by midnight Pacific time tonight (June 20, 2011), you’ll receive a free soundtrack CD in about 2-4 weeks.

What’s so impressive about a soundtrack CD for a 13-year-old game? Take a look at the features:

50 tracks from the game, many never before released
1 fully orchestrated medley specially recorded for the soundtrack
Liner notes include new character illustrations created for the Nintendo 3DS release, and a special message from Mr. Miyamoto and Mr. Kondo

That’s quite a nice little bonus, especially at the price of FREE! You’d better hurry up if you want it – the offer ends at midnight PDT tonight!! If you live in the USA or Canada register your game here for your free soundtrack.

Hyrule Symphony was an orchestrated recording, not the original soundtrack I was thinking of. Though it seems like the soundtrack I was thinking of only has 35 tracks, there were apparently a variety of CDs released in Japan, apparently including an OST set with 82 tracks (though this included sound effects and jingles as well). So uh, I guess my point is that all these songs are already floating around the internet if you want them, but obviously there's some logic in wanting to own a legit copy with a nice box. There's not much to the booklet but what's there is pretty, anyway
