    This weekend, for the next 46 or so hours, you can play Payday 2 for free via Steam. In addition to this, you can save 75% off of the normal price of $19.99. There is also a big 50%-75% off sale on most of the DLC.

The original price of the 2DS was about $130. To those wondering what differs between the 2DS and its more robust 3DS brother, the obvious is that it doesn't feature any 3D capabilities. It's also a flat, slate design while the 3DS handhelds are clamshell. The screen is also smaller than the XL line of the 3DS. I...
