New 3DS XL and PS Vita holiday bundles

Nintendo and Sony are bundling up their handheld systems with extra games and services𓆉 in time for the holiday season. Nintendo and Sony both announced this week new packages arriving next week for portable gamers who have yet to get their hands on a 3DS XL or PlayStation Vita.

The new 3DS XL deal bundles a blue/black system with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mario Kart 7 pre-installed for $200. That's how much a 3DS XL usually runs for all by itself, so if you've been itching to tear up some asphalt and banana peels on the go,🐓 now's the time.

Meanwhile, the PS Vita's Instant Game Collection bundle plays up the system's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new support for PlayStation Plus. The $300 pack includes a 3G system, a year of Plus membership (which can be appended to existing subscriptions), a Unit 13 downloada🍨ble game voucher, and a 4 GB memory card.

Wait, Sony's only packing in a bare-minimum 4 GB memory card when this bundle pushe🦹s PS Vita's digital services? Yes indeed, and if you want to store more than a couple big games you'll have to shell out for fairly expensive proprietary memor𒊎y, cutting into the $99 savings Sony boasts for the package. Still, not a bad deal overall.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan Univꦚersity - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer herജe at GamesRadar.
