Nice, I have an Ambassador edition.  I bought it when I heard that they were going to do that.  I was planning on evenutally getting a 3DS after a while but at that time it wasn't on my radar since I already had a DS that I was happy with.  10+ free classic games changed my mind, though. I did the same thing. Ran out and got one for $250 at Best Buy, waited a week or two, then did the 110% Price Protection Guarantee to take off $88 plus tax. August 2011, IIRC. I was still living in San Diego.

Now I see that it's suppose to mean an original, base model. I don't really like the use of the phrase but I wouldn't mind it, if it were used properly. ]]> "insert name here" Launch Edition on eBay http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=178025 2017-11-02T01:40:21 -05.00 Koopa64 10 "insert name here" Launch Edition on eBay http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=178025 2017-11-02T01:15:46 -05.00 Koopa64 10 "insert name here" Launch Edition on eBay http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=178025 2017-11-02T01:00:08 -05.00 Koopa64 10 "insert name here" Launch Edition on eBay http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=178025 2017-11-02T00:37:39 -05.00 Koopa64 10 "insert name here" Launch Edition on eBay http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=178025 2017-11-02T00:15:10 -05.00 Koopa64 10
For most systems it's ok, some had a lot of fancy versions. Then there's a console like the Virtual Boy, "launch edition" is a bit of an oxymoron isn't it? every virtual boy is techncially a launch system. ]]>
