    Check the contact phone number in Google and you will see that this is used in lots of dubious sites. You should run away quickly.
    I have absolutely no doubt this is a con merchant.

    The website was only created in feb this year, it was posted on hukd a while back and was deemed and unsafe website so my advice is to avoid it.

    Also if you've never heard of them it's probably not a good idea to give them £100 and hope they send you something

    I'm afraid the cheapest at the moment appears to be around £149. GraingerGames
    were selling the 3DS in store for this price just over two weeks ago, Game had them in just over a week ago for £149.99.
