Was looking around at Nintendo 3DS. Cheapest I seen it was £194 its roughly €225 on ASDA. http://www.asda-entertainment.co.uk/elysium.search?search=Nintendo+3DS+Console+&searchFilters=

Just use this code at the check out "S50" to get £5 off

Second cheapest place I found it was at Amazon

They all say that.
Chances are they will ship them outside the UK.

Any idea on what the cheapest deal in Ireland is?

Xtra-Vision are doing a a rather lame bundle of the console with Rayman/Ridge Racer/Nintendogs + Cats for 280 Euro, while Gamestop will be doing something similar for 10 euro cheaper though they haven't decided what games they will offer. Gamestop are also offering various trade-in deals on your current DS console though none in my opinion are very good.

I haven't checked anywhere else...

i would not go near this console with a barge pole.

Why not

Probably due to limited 3d content and awkward backwards compatibility with 2d games. The higher rez screen is causing scaling problems.

As in limited 3d games or 3d game content within the games?

TrustedApple · 12-03-2011 01:03PM

Was looking at gamestops site and the games are very cheap for the 3ds on it

http://www.gamestop.ie/39630_Nintendo_3DS_Ridge_Racer_3DS.aspx
For 32 euro is a great deal if there going to cost that much is store i will pick up 4 games with it i have 370 to spend on it that only cost me 167.50

Also you can get any game with it for 270 euros which is a good deal because you can get any game

If you are buying any electronic online, you'd be better off going with Amazon as their customer care is excellent. The couple of extra quid would be worth it. I don't think any of "the hut" group deliver electronics here anyway.

Are you sure about that. I ordered an iPad case that is in stock on the 20th of Feb. And was given conformation that it would be dispached the 10th to 15th of march ?????. I e-mailed them around the 4th or 5th of march as to why it was taking almost a month to get the item shipped. Guess what? They haven't even replied yet :mad:

People said the same about the DS and the whole idea of it being a supplementary 3rd platform for Nintendo.

See how that ended up :pac:

It's €250 in HMV but you get a €20 gift card

wampyrus77 · 14-03-2011 01:14PM

Zavvi ship from the chanel islands so anything over €22 would be liable for VAT and import duty.

wampyrus77 · 14-03-2011 02:53PM

well in gamestop if trade in DSIXL and 2 DS Games you can get the 3Ds for €99.99, trade in DSI and 2 DS Games you can get the 3Ds for €116.99, trade in DS-lite and 2 DS Games you can get the 3Ds for €134.99.

niallon · 14-03-2011 03:02PM

Trade in DSi XL in Smyths and get 3DS for €139.99
Trade in DSi and get 3DS for €174.99

Same basic deal as Gamestop but without trading games, useful if you don't have the games to trade as I'd imagine they are quite recent titles that combined are probably worth more than the €40 price difference (in relation to the XL offer)

Also, even without trade, pre-book it and save a tennor off it, the €10 deposit also means that on the day it'll be €250

EDIT: Full list of games from GameStop attached, most of what's on it is worth at least €20 or more in Smyths so anyone going for this offer be mindful that you don't lose out on credit due!

wampyrus77 · 14-03-2011 03:29PM

Thx very but Im still going for gamestop because Ive got DSiXL 5 DS games that i dont want and all the trade list.

GreyAlien · 14-03-2011 03:41PM

The Gamestop website also has an offer for the 3DS + any launch title for €269.99. There is also free express delivery as the order is over €150.
It states on their site that express shipments guarantee you receive it on day of release. Not sure if that's true or not.

wampyrus77 · 14-03-2011 03:47PM

HMV has trade in offers aswell with DSIXL/DSI/DSI-lite

wampyrus77 · 14-03-2011 03:57PM

wampyrus77 · 14-03-2011 04:01PM

Ive pre-order it with Gamestop and date is due 25th of march but Gamestop might open there store after midnight you call it 24th (really technically it 25th) and have sell it like they did with the DSIXL day b4 it launch date and with the luas they say the last 1 is 00.30 but really the last 1 is always 01.30

Or collect it at 09.00am on 25th of march on the way 2 work

wampyrus77 · 14-03-2011 04:07PM

GAME and HMV are both having midnight open on the 24th (really technically it 25th) for Nintendo 3DS and very sure Gamestop is opening too.

Good point.
You can refuse to pay the duty and vat and it gets sent back to zavvi, right?
Or do you still have to pay the duty?

wampyrus77 · 14-03-2011 08:31PM
