Nintendo 3DS Price Cut - GAME putting up DSI prices

zootie

A lot of the new games which will be coming out will only be playable on the 3DS though - the new marioland and Mariokart for example.

thanks for this info, I knew the price was going down but didn't know when. DS wants one for xmas so gonna get one tomorrow while price is cheap. Only difficulty I'll have is keeping it hidden until then!!

For people saying "I have no interest in 3D games" : You realise the 3D is optional (you can switch it off), and that the 3DS also plays DS games?

Agree but if not going to use the 3d feature then you are left with an inferior machine than the dsi and the dsi XL as the 3d machine doesn't have a number of features of these.

This was particularly disappointing to my daughter after deciding to continue saving beyond the dsi price which her sister had, and pay £200 for the 3ds. 3d gives her headaches and she can't do half the stuff her sister does on her dsi.Something we didn't expect from a newer machine.

So, make sure you are happy with exactly what the 3d machine has before purchase.

ive had a 3ds since launch (big geek) and its worth £175 (what i paid), definately a bargain at sub £150. note: the software that comes with it is much more fun that the actual launch games. and 3d video streaming is now on it too.
anyone seen oscars oasis? quite good...

i was upset that i got my other half a DSI XL three weeks before the 3ds came out but im really glad i did. i had a go with the 3ds and it gave me headaches and made me feel sick. i think we'll both stick to the old school 2d version. try the 3d one if you can just to make sure you like it

if you have an old DS to get rid of try CEX they gave me £50 exchange (could have had £35 cash but they had games i wanted) for an old DS lite that was about 3 years old and a bit battered give them a try game often do extra cash when cashing in on an old games console as a managers special i got £23 for mario brothers DS once... i only paid £19 for it in the first place nice little profit for a compleeted game xx

Great to read people's opinions on the 3DS offer.

Did anyone go out to 24hr Tesco and bag one of those bad boys for £115?

I just ordered the blue one online (free delivery) glad I didn't pay the £200 they were when I was first looking!!

He was swithering between a 3DS and a DS XL, but I think he will be pleased with the 3D one, not many of his friends have it. Old DSi will get passed down to his brother now, he has been desperate to get his little mitts on it :rotfl:

Hi there

Yes ask any teenager and they will tell you best high street trade in for cash is CEX stores. They also have a we buy page and you can calculate how much you might get.

Trade in values vary but most high street stores might honour a trade in value given at another store, e.g. Gamestation, GAME or CEX.

Online trade ins look like good value but not all offer postage. Amazon offer a pre-paid label which helps and have good trade in value for popular games. It is games only I'm afraid with Amazon.

Well done Louise! That was a good find online. Still showing full price to me when I log on to Tesco Direct.
