Well, now it looks like you have a brief window to get the best of both worlds: a cheaper system and the free games.

Wal-Mart retail locations said they would start to sell the system at a discounted price starting today (instead of Nintendo's recommended date of Aug. 12), and that's been confirmed by users on multiple message boards, including .

If you've been waiting for the lower-priced 3DS, there's not better time than the present to buy one; this opportunity to get 20 free games on the discounted system won't last long.
