<p>Just in time to miss Black Friday and Cyber Monday completely, it seems as though Nintendo will be bundling a blue 3DS XL with a copy of <em>Mario Kart 7</em>. When? According to <a href="http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=332985">CheapAssGamer</a>, next week. How much? $199.99. To confirm the existence of the bundle, CAG provided a (rather tiny) image of the bundle. It has since been blown up:</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-30463 aligncenter" title="3DSXL Bundle2j4pk7k" src="https://cdn.bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/06083129/3DSXL-Bundle2j4pk7k.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Additionally, between CAG and <a href="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=501418">NeoGAF</a>, the original 3DS handheld is said to be getting a price drop to $139.99 in two weeks, with Target selling the system for $129.99. This can be taken as a rumor for the time being as both have stated that this could only be for a sale of some kind and not an official price drop.</p>
<p>Hopefully no one who bought a 3DS/XL recently comes across this rumor. I can only imagine that they&#8217;d be a little upset.</p>
