I learned today that my local GameStation is holding a 3DS launch party on thursday at 11PM. The first 10 there get V.I.P treatment(don't know what that entails), and the first 100 get a free 3DS game (choose from SSF43D, PilotWings, and Nintendogs+Cats). There's also a raffle to win a free 3DS. I'm definitely considering going.
