This is actually a Godsend for me.

"Nintendo 2DS: poor man's 3DS (it's real people!)"


"The benefit of all those tradeoffs is that the price of 2DS is $130, or $40 less than the price of the lowest-end Nintendo 3DS model today."

I want it but it sounds overly bulky to me
"Nintendo 2DS, thanks to its "fixed, slate-type form factor," is Nintendo's biggest handheld, measuring 5 inches high, 5.67 inches wide and 0.8 inches thick."

It appears to be the size of a small tablet, which is handy enough to put in a small bag or satchel. I also have that feeling that the price may drop to just under $100 USD, which would be quite an awesome buy for a handheld dedicated gaming device.
