    i live in ireland so no asda or amason and their pp is £25, pp £25 = €28, €225+€28 = €253, standard price for 3ds in ireland is €249.99

    Amazon have free Super Saver Delivery for orders over £25.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭wampyrus77


    HMV are €249.99, asda are charging £194=€225+pp =£25(€28) = €253 is greater the €249.99

    asda are cheapest if asda are the cheapest their price is more expensive then HMV after pp charge

    amazon must far more expensive some prices for in ireland when pp charge is £25=€28

    Amazon also charge the Irish VAT rate which will probably add another couple of euro.

    Great deal feckin Irish shops wont price match anyone thus far,I need two for under €500 with a game each and I can't buy online as I need a receipt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,091 ✭✭✭Soarer


    Any chance Wampyrus77 works for Gamestop?

    Seems to know an awful lot about their up-to-date pricing, and is determined to purchase from them even though they're more expensive than Amazon.

    @ Wampyrus : Surely you'd be better off buying from Amazon and selling your own stuff privately?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    He may well work for them as I am still waiting for an answer to where he seen the updated price for the trade in offer,it's not on their site or their facebook page.

    Those prices posted for the gamestop trade in offer are false.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 554 ✭✭✭TotallyEpic


    HMV Galway has a sign in the window saying they've a demo unit, but theres none up inside yet, probably later today or tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭wampyrus77


    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 €134.99, trade in DS-lite and 2 DS Games you can get the 3Ds for €199.99.

    159.99 + 30 + 30 + 99.99 = €319.98
    109.99 + 30 + 30 + 134.99 = €304.98
    79.99 + 30 + 30 + 199.99 = €339.98
    That's using their own pre-owned prices.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭wampyrus77


    Anything brought from asda there delivery charge of £25=€28

    £194=€225 + €28 = €253

    HMV in Ireland is €249.99

    or tade in offers trade in your dsixl and you pay €143.99

    If you preorder in HMV you get a €20 gift card, which should be good for half the cost of a game.

    In Gamestop (At least online) for €270 you can get a 3DS and any game.

    Works out the same wherever you get it really. The HMV deal is better if you aren't sold on any of the launch titles, but just want to play the included AR games.

    It's the best deal your going to get really. I doubt anyone on Adverts.ie or elsewhere is going to be in the market for an original DS Lite or DSi now, unless its very cheap.

    I corrected you on that 2 or 3 times.
    It's 99p delivery. About €1.50

    Both wrong, ASDA don't deliver to the republic.

    EDIT: And their cheapest delivery to the UK is £2.95.

    Amazon.co.uk is the best choice, £184 + VAT difference and free delivery.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,678 ✭✭✭TrustedApple


    Was in gamestop there today and found it its going to be 310 euro for a 3DS with a 8GB SD Card, A case and any 2 games

    Which is not to bad which still gives me 12 euros towards my 4 game

    There's a few asda's.
    The one I'm talking about is part of thehut group, and delivery is free within UK 99p elsewhere.
    They say 3DS doesn't ship outside UK, but they will ship to Ireland in all likeliness.
    Zavvi(Also part of thehut group) said they don't ship outside the UK and just now they sent me this in an email:
    Your order from zavvi has been dispatched and will be with you shortly!
    -That's my 3DS.

    Damn, shipped this quickly?

    The site I checked was ASDA Direct which is the only one I could find. Won't even let me register without a UK Address,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,708 ✭✭✭Nollog


    Yeah, they had a good deal a few months back.
    I couldn't register either. :(
    http://www.asda-entertainment.co.uk this is the one I'm talking about.

    I haven't seen a bundle with Pilotwings anywhere :(

    That's the only launch game I'm interested in. I'll probably just go to the HMV midnight launch, and pick it up then!.

    i think the north offer is:
    trade DSIXL + 2 games from the list - £99.99
    trade DSI + 2 games from the list - £116.99
