    I went to a few of the brick and mortar shops around Dundalk because I'm in the market for a 3ds. I want 3 games at the moment. Zelda, Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart. So went looking for the best deal.

    Don't have a photo but their deal wasn't the best. 3ds & 1 game from a limited selection for a relatively expensive price (can't remember exact figure). The €20 free vouchers they advertise are 4*€2.50 rental vouchers and 4*€2.50 trade in vouchers.

    Only the crappier games are available with the deal. The 3ds is completely sold out in Dundalk but decent enough price!

    €189 for the 3ds, Mario Land 3d and a starter pack. not sure what was in the starter pack but it only cost like €7/8 to buy anyway.

    €199 for the Zelda Limited Edition 3ds and Zelda.
    €199 for the White 3ds and Mario Land 3d.

    Surprisingly, I think we have a winner with Harvey Normans. €219 for any colour 3ds and ANY 2 games. Unfortunately, the selection of games was very, very poor in Dundalk but Mario Land and Mario Kart was there at least!



    Feel free to add to the list if you want. Just thought I'd post it in case others were in the market for a 3ds :)

    Do the photos still display? The attachments are just the photos.

    amazon have the Ice White 3DS bundle for £150 with free delivery to Ireland. It works aout at about 181 Euros, so a good bit cheaper than anywhere here. I ordered it last week and got it a couple of days later, really enjoying it!

    I know it's off topic, but downloaded Pullbox too, amazing game, and amazing value.
