New Nintendo DS $100 at Target?

[stuffedmonkey]

Saw this in a thread at cheapassgamer.com - Target is about to send out it's Xmas catalog, which shows that the Nintendo DS is 100$ new. There is much discussion as to if this is a misprint - so YMMV. Click the Page index section and check page 56.

http://catalog.target.com/december/...&versionnum=1.4

Also noticing that the feeding frenzy that is ebay right now has bid the Nintendogs Best friends edition (the one that only comes with the teal and pink Nintendogs bundles) is being bid up into the 65$ range - so for any of you cheapasses like myself you can get the bundle, ebay the game, and net a ds for around 85$.

I just called Target today, intending to stop in - the guy told me that the sale starts Friday. The website says that this price will be valid until Dec 24th.

I'll most definitely be picking one up.

I got mine today We were mailed the Xmas catalog and it said nothing about a start date for the price but, the ad we got stated the prices were in effect until 12/5/05. So we brought the ad and they adjusted the price... SCORE!

You're not going to get the bundles at that price... just the core system... silver or blue.

Wow awsome I'll be getting a DS soon.

And castlevania mario cart metriod pinball feel the magic, hmm too many games, I wouldn't know were to begin.

A DS for $99? Wow I think I'll get one from Target and use my "employee holiday discount" for something else.

Yours said only effective till the fifth?

Okay, so is this price good till xmas eve, or does it end sooner?

Your link isn't working for me. I am seriously going to think about getting up early tomorrow and getting one of these. I can't find the discussion on CAG about it either.... :/

This is really good news! I was wanting to get a DS for my brother for Christmas, now I can do it on the cheap!

Alright, so I just came back from target and didn't buy a DS 'cause the price appeared to be $129.99. I had a "heated" conversation with the manager, she said that the price they had in store is the price. I told her then that the information on the website is misleading and it clearly said "in store only" and I've even showed her the freaking ad. Anyways, she said "sorry, we can't do anything about it." At the end, I told her "it doesn't help me that you're sorry," and I've left the place. Also, I gave a call to target's district office and they told me that the $99.99 price would be available on December... Guess I have to wait 'till then to get a DS :/

Checking this out from another forum or two... It is indeed a mispring but Target corporate has instructed people to honor it *if* you bring in the catalog. If you are looking around - it is the December catalog and has a green cover.

Thanks for your e-mail about The Nintenedo Dual Screen in the 2005 Holiday Catalog. The ad is a misprint, as the price in the system should be $129.99. However, Target is honoring the ad price of $99.99 if you are able to bring in a copy of the catalog. If you have any trouble at the store, have them call us at (800) 440-0680 and we will be able to assist you then. Keep in mind the catalog price expires on December 12th, 2005.

We always welcome your questions, so if we can assist you in the future, please contact our Target Guest Relations team at (800) 440-0680. You can also speak with a team member at the Guest Services Desk at your local Target store, or visit us on Target.com. Either way, we’re here to help!

Thanks for shopping with us. I hope we’ll see you again soon at Target.

Where do you get those catalogs? I looked in my paper today and didn't find any Target ads.

Try to go to one of their stores at Dec. 1st and ask one of their employees

[norkusa]

I need one of these catalogs too. I just sold my DS and now I already want to get another. I'll totally make it worth your while if you could hook me up.

I'll see what I can do, I'm going over to target on the 1st and I'll try to get an extra one

I wish I had 99 dollars to throw at a DS now... I finally played one at a best buy the other day and it was pretty fun.

[boozi2]

Just bought Mario Kart DS for $28 at target... Only thing left now is to get the system for $99

[boozi2]

Ugh, I've just gave a call to the number stuffedmonkey provided in his quote. Damn it, they send catalogs out randomly, meaning they don't have it in store.... It's gonna get harder and harder to get a hold of one...
