    How much are they charging for a 3DS with a game in HMV?

    If I remember correctly, they're doing the 3DS (alone, AFAIK) for €250 and, in Limerick City at least, you get a €20 gift card with it if you pre-order, I think.

    As regards the Xtravision price, cloud493 says it's €270 (link)

    pre-ordered in Xtra-vision today

    They are offering 3DS a game and a carry case for 275

    No word on which games are included, hopefully it's all of them!

    Really? I've been hassling them for weeks after placing my order - do you know what games are included in that offer or is it all?

    The guy behind the counter didn't have a clue what games are included, it hasn't been finalised yet he said

    He also spun me a fairly shoddy line about making sure to get a pre-order in because of supply being affected by the earthquake/tsunami

    They're manufactured in China. I would have blown my top and asked for the manager if someone said that to me, the ****in cheek of him trying to profit from the thousands dead after that!

    Just as a matter of interest, can you tell us which xtravision this was Dazzler?

    The HMV deal is as follows.
    I saw the exact deal on the staff info sheet.
    A 3DS for 250 plus a ubisoft game for €10 (one of a selection)
    A 3DS for 250 plus one of the better games for €20
    Both of the above packages then come with a €20 HMV voucher as well, which you can then spend on, say, another game, thereby, in a way, rendering the first one free.
    So you should be able to buy a 3DS with 2 games for around 290, by far the best 3DS bundle so far.

    Have yet to see Gamestop, Smyths or Tescos' deals yet.
    Tescos usually decide to make a loss on these big launches and may have the biggest pricing surprise of them all, only time will tell...

    Less than two weeks to go now...

    Pre-book in Smyths and get €10 off, also the €10 deposit for the pre-book means that on the day it's €250. Trade in offers are:

    Trade in a DSi and get the 3DS for €174.99
    Trade in an XL and get the 3DS for €139.99

    Pre-books have to be made for these prices though as they include the €10 off. Gamestop are running an offer to trade in a DSi XL and two select games to get the 3DS for €99.99 but, as the list attached shows, most of the games on the list are worth over €20 each in Smyths and I'm guessing GameStop so there's a bit of a scam there really. Trading in with Smyths and getting the individual credit for any games should work out better, depending on what games you have to trade!

    Can't fuggin wait for this launch! The 3DS is incredible!
