    Hi,
    As above - looking to get the best deal for a 3DS. I've a DS lite to trade-in.

    HMV were selling at 215 Euros a couple of weeks ago and offering 39.50 on DS lite with sylus and charger, no box.

    Checked in XtraVision and Gamestop today(or was it Game? - in Parkway Limerick) - XtraVision 279 for 3DS + a game + carry case,
    Gamestop 280 for 3DS + a game.
    Neither take trade-ins.

    Any updates?

    Try currys/PC world. I'm in London at the moment and they're selling it for 157 sterling which is 179 euro, they might be flogging them cheap at home too. Everywhere else here has it for about 220 euro. Price of it in Ireland is mental.

    No competition here.

    Xtravision and Gamestop still have them selling for over the €270+ mark? ffs. I'd be very suprised if they were shifting any at that rate.

    HMV all the way.

    Not sure but I think I saw GAME offering it for 215e plus a game (from a reasonable selection).

    Yup, it's €215 in Game with a pick of a a game from a short list (incl Nintendogs, SF IV, I believe)

    Game will give you €40 trade in for a DS Lite as long as it's working grand and has the charger and stylus.

    Thanks guys.

    Got the 3DS in Game on Saturday. As stated above it was 215 Euros for the console + a game (and yes short fairly restricted list but my daughter wanted Nintendogs and Cats to begin with anyway). And they gave us 40 Euros for the old working DS Lite.

    Btw their games are really cheap at the mo. 24.99 for some of the 3DS titles.

    HMV are very good lately for offering us closer to the Euro-Sterling exchange rate. There Wii packages are very cheap too.

    Cheapest price in England is what I paid for mine in GAME in Newcastle, who were price matching Grainger Games - £148 for the Cosmos Black, brand new

    That works out as a massive saving on Irish retail costs
