I have a 3DS/DS - general discussion.

We don't seem to have a proper one of these so, if nobody minds?

Anyway, I've been playing NES remix 3DS all weekend. 30 euro delivered off eBay , feels worth it. Not the same value as the Wii U version, but very good all the same.

Probably not as bad as some SNES games I've gotten at the Sunday market, some of them were definitely in need of de-lousing before use.

sheep?

Actually, I just realised this is probably the best place to ask a specific question:

While I got the 3ds games off of CEX, I have yet to get an actual device to play them on.

So, is the XL version worth it? It's about €220 on Amazon, I'd imagine that's the cheapest I'm going to get new?

Found a 22 year old box of smarties and some sticks of juicy fruits when I opened a Mega Drive box I got from a bootsale before.

Nice to see Gamestop matching prices across the EU - https://www.gamestop.it/3DS/Games/98092/fire-emblem-fates-special-edition

€20 cheaper after shipping (could probably add other items to bring overall price down)

I actually just ordered a DS game from cex, came and the case was all horrid, and the actual sleeve was all ripped and torn. Gutted I was.

I online ordered Kirby Superstar Ultra DS from CEX before Christmas as a Santa present. It was €20-ish, while the R.A.G.E. wanted €60!

Anyway, game arrived, box and manual in perfect nick, but the game wouldn't play. Further inspection revealed astonishing amounts of gunk on the cart contacts (so I assume CEX don't test them).

Was mildly gutted, but with some light cleaning of the contacts with a cocktail stick I was able to resurrect it and Christmas was saved! :pac:

Gamestop must be a franchise thing, right? Hence our getting screwed on that price.

I think we should moan loudly as possible, frankly. Even if we get no reduction, they'll know we're cross.

Make sure to wash yourself afterwards... You never know where that gunk came from!

Man, I posted that thing about CEX a little in jest, but now I'm thinking of hiring a temporary biohazard cleanroom before they get here. :eek:

They are usually full of 12-15 year old boys who need their money for Monster and games, not for an auld can of Lynx Atlantis.

I find it's often the stereotypical hairy lads with their belongings in a tesco bag that carry with them the odour of showers not taken.
Teenage boys typically have a similar smell but made more complex by the addition of layers of Lynx bodyspray, applied over the armpit grime every morning.

I worked in Gamestop back when it was Gamesworld, on my offduty days, and it was great craic, and the Gamestop shops that were less shiny and corporate tended to be the fun ones to hang out in.
Now there's a lot of fellas spouting about loyalty clubs and whatever game the Sony or Ubi rep has told them to sell, though there is still a few cracking shops, the one in Balbriggan comes to mind.
But back in the day it was vacuuming and polishing in the mornings, getting it all ship shape, and having the work experience minions continue to dust throughout the day, wasn't a speck of dust left in the place!

Re. Fire Emblem Limited Edition, what am I missing? The two standalone physical base games are €90 and Revelation is €20(?) to download.

Are people drooling over the LE for the privilege of having the three games on one cart and an art book, along with paying an extra €10 to do so?

I can fully understand the LE at the €80 price point but €120?

Up on Amazon France €89.99 - http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01AK3VGS6/

They're not €45 on the high street, gamestop has them for 70 each. Add in 20 for the extra campaign, the steel book, and the poster or whatever it is, and its alright.

Still a rip off, but.

Anyone who pays Gamestop €70 for a 3DS game needs their head checked, you can easily get them for €35-€40 online or go the digital route and get all three games for €80.

Good chance argos will have it? Bastards have it though only on launch day, so you never know the price.
Next stop smyths?
