    Just traded our White DS Lite in and got a metallic red inc Rabbids 3d for £80 all in!

    They combined up the Trade in offer (£30 for DS lite, plus extra £20 bonus), and also the offer of any game for £10 when you buy a 3DS.

    Excellent deal, and our DS lite, was not in pristine condition either.

    Great offer, thanks OP.

    do you need the box for it?

    Thank you so much OP - traded in my white DS Lite today. Can't believe you get £70 off a new DS for a console which is selling for about £30 second hand on ebay! Bear in mind if you are going to do this - you don't need the box but you do need the stylus and charger. They also test it for 5 mins to check it works ok and won't take it if it has visible scratches or cracks to casing.

    As a previous poster said you can combine this with the offer where you get a game for a tenner with purchase of a 3DS so I got puzzle bobble world for £10. Total cost £79.99 for new red 3DS + game. Bargain!

    sorry to ask, whats the screen size like on the 3ds, just that DD has the dsi xl, and I have the dsi lite, and she has mentioned 3d but likes the screen in her xl.

    Thank you in advance if anyone can help xx

    went in to game this morning to check out this deal & another option is if you trade in a dsi you can get the 3ds for £49.99 hth ;)
    :beer: Happy Bargain Hunting!! :beer:
  • Huge thanks to the op that posted this offer

    My two had dropped and cracked the hinge on there pink ds lites.
    I had two spare ones so went and traded them in.

    I had a working red and green one, I got £70 for the red one and £80 for the green one (don't know why o got more for the green??

    I took the charger and stylus with the ds lite's nothing else and one of the stylus was a replacement clear one from poundland.

    I got a brand new blue 3ds and a brand new red 3ds for £130 after trade in, they come with console, stylus, charger, docking station, instructions, some cards that you can use with the camera to make things appear, and box.

    I also noticed that pre-owned 3ds were £129 in game so very pleased.

    I plan to ebay there pink broken ds lite's after christmas, they seem to go for about £20 and i have 2 r4 cards with lots of games on that will probably be able to get £20 each for and also have another 2 broken hinge ds lites black and red so another £20 each.

    So after selling it all hopefully will get £120 making 2 brand new 3ds for £10

    Cant go wrong really as there is no way a ds lite would sell for £70 or £80 on ebay.

    Again huge thanks to the op :0)

    Took my daughters in on Sunday, with their 2 old ds lites and lots of games they don't use anymore. Unfortunately, they wouldn't accept one of the ds lites because the hinge was cracked, but they took the other one, all the games, and my girls paid about £20 each, and now share a 3ds (they already have a dsi xl each, so this one is to share!)

    Great offer - we bought 2 games for the 3ds as well, but I think they must have given us another offer, because we worked out that we would have to pay another £60 for the games, but only paid £30 for two!
