Cheapest place for 3DS XL for christmas?

cloud493

Anyone happen to know the cheapest place around for a 3DS XL? I wanna buy someone one for christmas, but cheapest I can find on the high street is 185 used. Anyone have anything better?

I'm trying to find a good deal aswell, 140 pounds on Amazon seems to be the cheapest I can find.

Looks like there is an upcoming deal on Amazon for the mario Kart 7 pack. No idea what the deal will be but it is in about 1 hour:

There's a promo where you can get a free copy of Super Mario 3D Land if you registered a 3DS/XL and a certain game within the time frame: http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Campaigns/SUPER-MARIO-3D-LAND-Welcome-Promotion/SUPER-MARIO-3D-LAND-Welcome-Promotion-831595.html
So best to stay away from any packages including Super Mario 3D land if it looks like you'd be picking up one of the required games too! :P

Amazon flash deal is £129.99, so about €155 for a white 3DS, MarioKart and SupeR Mario 3D land

I picked one up. 129 for the device with two games isn't too bad.

Hayezer

Picked it up too great deal

Damn going mad I missed this deal as I'm buying a 3DS and I wanted to pick up Mario Kart with it. The standard 3DS XL is £135 on amazon and seems to be the best price at the moment so going with that!

I picked up on this deal. Also bought Zelda, Luigis mansion, fire emblem, and pokemon X.

My first ever Nintendo handheld.

So my question is, did anyone else get caught out by them not providing a charger?

Hayezer

Noticed no charger immediately after ordering, you can get one in Argos for like 7e I think it was

Bump. Missed this deal.

Argos have it for 230 but it seems you can register and get super mario land for free?

Amazon have it for 170, does anyone know if I can register and get super mario land on this deal too?

I was caught out by that too. In my smugness I believed that
a) It would take a micro USB cable (No idea what gave me that idea).
or
b) My DS lite charger would work. It doesn't. Only chargers from DSi and above work.

At least the DS lite can go on Adverts now.

That's a nintendo promotion not an Argos one, so amazon works too

Sainsburys are selling the 2DS with Pokemon X or Y for £99.99 (couldn't find the DS bargain thread - if there is one mod can you move this)

I was in Sainsbo's in Sprucefield last weekend (the deal was live on thursday or friday according to HDUK) and they did not have it, so don't drive up special!

You can get some good deals on eBay as well, if you don't mind the uncertainty of an auction. Amazon are now up to £154 (approx. €192) for a standard 3DS XL, which is still cheaper than Irish places (at least from what I could find).

I just got a brand new and sealed 'The Legend of Zelda Special Edition' 3DS XL for €186 (+P&P) on eBay. That's a pretty good price really, with a free game (that's meant to be quite good) and then I can register the 3DS XL and Legend of Zelda to qualify for the free Super Mario Land 3D as well. I'm happy with that!

There are still a couple of brand new 'standard' 3DS XLs available on eBay, the auctions are ending in the next couple of days. I was watching them but managed to get the Zelda one...
