Update: Now that the deal is actually live, we have some clarification. It’s $180 with a $20 gift card. The regular MSRP is $200. Stock is limited online, so you’ll probably need to visit your local store for the deal.

The Pikachu 3DS XL deal at Toys”R”Us is just slightly less sweeter than originally thought. Rather than marking down the system’s price to $150, the retailer will instead by selling it for $170. Toys”R”Us will be providing a $20 gift card with a purchase, which, in one way, technically brings the overall total down to $150. You’ll just be getting $20 in credit instead of cash.
