Trade in your DS to GameStop, get 50% extra towards a 3DS

Right now gamestop is running an in store special where you can trade in any game system, and receive 50% extra credit on it. What does this mean to gamers looking to pick up a shiny new Nintendo 3DS in March?

This means you can get more for your DS if you trade it in towards a reservation of a Nintendo 3DS, which again is due out in March. The console is speculated to cost anywhere between $249 and $299, though no official price has been named by Nintendo.

After checking with GameStop, I have discovered just how much you will get for your DS console, if you can stand to live without it for about two months.

DS Lite nets you about $25 Store Credit, with 50% extra that gives you $37.50.

Nintendo DSi will get you $50 Store Credit, with 50% extra that gives you $75.

And finally, trade in your DSi XL system and you will get $75 in Store Credit, with 50% extra giving you a total of $112.50 towards the Nintendo 3DS.

So anyone going to take the plunge in favor of saving money later?
