Bargain Nintendo 3DS XL at Tesco

I was shocked too that they don't include a charger - you can however use a Dsi charger if you are upgrading to sve buying one for th 3DS XL

Great news. Was a little worried as today is the last day to register and I had been having trouble with recieving the prompt for the free game.

Thanks

Thanks for the info re: registration/free game. I've just registered my son's 3dS XL which he got for xmas but it didn't say anything anywhere about a free game? Do you just receive a code? I've received the email to confirm registration. Also, my son's 3DS has Mario Kart 7 pre-installed. If I do manage to get a code for a free game, will downloading one have any effect on the pre-installed game?

TIA

No, it has no effect. The 3DS can hold several downloaded games.

How do we download a game to the DS? Via a desktop or laptop computer? With a cable? The DS did not come with any cables, that's why I'm asking :o:o.

Hmmm, I hadn't even thought of that! That would've been my next post once I'd received the code

Hopefully someone who has already done it will explain how it's done (in very, very simple terms for my benefit :eek:)

TIA

The 3DS is a wireless device and can connect to your wireless broadband (assuming you have it). Games can be downloaded from the Nintendo shop. There is quite a lot of free content available too (game trailers, etc).
