I wonder if the Pokemon X / Y 3DSXL will have any kind of crazy value, especially considering there are two different colors. If so, I might have to join the scalpers on the other side of the fence.
While anecdotal, I have seen tons of people on CAG and other sites actually claiming that they bought the Windwaker bundle to actually use. The $50 price drop and the free game pushed them over the top. Of course, quite a few people are complaining about not being able to get the download to complete probably because Nintendo didn't bother to increase their server capacity in anticipation of the spike in sales.

As for the X/Y units, it's hard to say. It certainly looks like they will have wider distribution than the Pikachu unit, but they don't include the games and Target isn't having a sale on them effectively dropping the price by $40, so it will be interesting to watch what happens this time.
