    Evening all.
    Could do with some elite advice :)
    My kids want 3DSs for Christmas so I've looked around and I can get them down to just under £90 each for the XL version.
    Is it worth me snapping them up at that price or is it possible they'll drop in price and be even cheaper before Christmas?
    I don't mind buying them now to put away as I've just managed to convince the kids asking for a WiiU is a bad (and expensive) idea :D
    Any advice appreciated :)

    Countdown. :T:T:T

    I filled mine with cheap bread the first week until I managed to get my hands on some meat, didn't take long to keep it topped up. ;)
    Hi Tinyshoes I am most excited about being able to buy frozen peas. They have not been in my current freezer since Christmas.

    Mortgage debt 45,000. Thank you all for your help so far in helping me save to buy the house. I could not have done this without all your help.

    YES!!! If you can get them that cheap, I would snap them up. I don't think Ive ever seen them below £100. In fact I think around £115 is the cheapest. I know this because my DS2s is broken and I looked up the cost for a repair by Nintendo....£90ish :eek: and then weighed up if I'd be just as well with a new one.

    And then for some unknown reason, it randomly started working again :D

    That seems an incredibly cheap price although I see Tosco is doing for £119. You need a charger - cos they don't automatically come with one. Just check the price of charger in case Tosco include it iyswim. I would be tempted to say go for it.

    DH says I should snap them up too.
    Looks like I'm buying them and putting them away then :D
    Now to figure out what colour suits DS and what suits DD (I think they're red/black, blue/black and silver/black)
    Thanx Fairclaire :beer:

    Thanx Patty, no chargers included that I know of but not a problem as we have 3 DS lites here all with chargers already
