    Just thought I'd add There is a £5 off £50 code, so cancelling out the delivery charge or making it £110 if you collect at store http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=46024327&postcount=3

    I am such a muppet for bargain hunting. :mad:

    1) Missed the one from Tesco Entertainment, ordered from Amazon.
    2) Decided to go and buy price-checked from PC World (thought someone mentioned it went to £103, but was £112.60), and cancelled Amazon.
    3) Get home to find I could now buy from Direct @ £110 minus 5% Topcashback of £5.50, taking total down to 104.50.

    I have spent all day on here so far. The breakfast dishes are still in the sink. Get a grip woman!

    Isn't there a 10% cashback? Wouldn't that bring it down to £99?

    I presume sales are below what they were hoping, but the sales have certainly been good. I think it was the best ever console launch or something.

    Sales have been very poor, the President of the company has taken a 50% pay-cut and has been forced to offer grooving apologies about what has been going on. I wouldn't be surprised to see this hit £99 sooner rather than later.

    Nintendo advise that the 3DS shouldn't be used by children under the age of 6 (as their eyesight is still developing) and for those over this age, it should only played for 30 minutes maximum at a time.

    Maybe that's why they've cut the price because sales for it aren't that great.

    ^^ This and the lack of games. You can play original DS games on there, but you have to play them at a smaller scale. I have stigmatism in one of my eyes making the 3D impossible to view, drives me crazy!
    Now I am employed, lets get rid of this student debt! :D:D
  • Thank you just got one - can't believe i almost bought this the other week for £200!!!
