That is not a typo. They are dirt cheap. Right now.
Get Free Gallade Password At Best Buy Through SpotPass
Today, I stopped into my local Best Buy to see if they had the new and publicly available Super Mario 3D Land demo on hand to try out. They didn’t have it. 
So, I’m walking around looking at games and I remember that I have the Nintendo Zone app, so I pull out my 3DS and notice that I actually have a blue spotpass notification lighting up. So I open that up and I have a notice from Best Buy telling me that I get a free code for that Pokémon Rumble Blast game, which is out now, btw. Well, I don’t have the game and don’t plan on getting it, but here’s what the notice reads:
You’ve received a password to get your own special Toy Pokémon Gallade! The password is 35356928. To get Gallade, launch the Pokémon Rumble Blast game from your Nintendo 3DS system and find Munna in Easterly Town (the second town you will visit in the game). When you talk to Munna, a password screen will appear. When you enter the password correctly, Munna will tell you where to find Gallade in Toyland!

You Can Now Play Super Mario 3D Land At Best Buy
Heads up! Word is that Best Buy is getting all new demos for the Nintendo 3DS starting NOW. Before you get too excited, the demo are unfortunately not downloadable, so you have to play them in the store, most likely on whatever 3DS unit they have on display. Check out a demonstration below:
Hands-On Impressions Of Nintendo Zone At Best Buy
Earlier today, I got a chance to stop in at Best Buy and pick up my copy of Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions (which is on sale, btw) while also checking out a somewhat new-ish feature on the 3DS called Nintendo Zone. This Best Buy exclusive feature works via Streetpass. My 3DS was already Streetpass activated, so as soon as I opened my unit up (which was already on while I was hanging out in the video game section) it automatically downloaded the service and placed an icon on my dashboard, which is still there.
In fact, I was given the option to save each individual page I visited at the Best Buy store to take home with me and view them whenever I wanted. So, I saved the ones that I could and the pictures you see below were taken at my home, after the fact. So naturally, once you leave the store, you lose your connection to the Nintendo Zone. There’s no revisiting it online over Wi-Fi since it’s strictly a feature of Best Buy’s retail stores.
The application’s interface is pretty slick actually. Pages load fast and the videos are of high quality, some of them even nicer than what we get in the eShop, which I was somewhat surprised to see. The Nintendogs video in particular is the best one yet. The lack of compression was nice, plus the 3D effect was great.
Check out some more photos I took of the pages I visited after the break:
