I wanted to get a 3DS game but the sting of it being out of stock only lasted for the amount of time it took me to realise I don't even play my 3DS anymore.

baldshin

Anyone based around Navan looking for Bravely Second Special edition at cost?

Mr E

Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan is half price (just under a fiver I think).
Great game, NES style with a Shovel Knight vibe (lots of hidden areas and collectables) and it's a good challenge.

Thanks for that. Too good to pass up. Seems to be an annual amazon de thing.

Ordered Yoshi, Pokémon and Smash.
Will sell/trade smash 'cause we've got it already.
Pokémon will be a birthday present for daughter.
Was looking for a cheaper Yoshi.

There was a 5 game and a 3 game offer before.
5 game offer was for cheaper games.

Gutted there's no BoTw there, will have to wait. Tempted to Pick the Sonic Olympics game, Xenoblades and Yoshi's.

It only saved me €10 when I got to checkout so I guess it's only really worth it for the high priced items.

If Luigi Mansion was in it I'd probably go for it, but gonna pass for now.

They could add more, they did before, but the others might sell out. I have my German BOTW from before. Still the best game ever! You could always get an expensive first party game in the list and sell/trade for BOTW either straight away or later. I think Smash seems to hold its price over time. For some reason.

(Edit)
Although looking at CEX right now I see a 15 quid deficit on trade from smash to botw.

Disclsimer: assuming CEX still taking German packaged games.

RobbingBandit

Good offer one that peaks my interest is Tokyo Mirage but Argos will have it for €48.99 tomorrow so I think I'll just buy it there instead.

All this buying games to trade in to save money is a younger man's game I'm tired Jerry tired and angry.

Hi all,
Where's the best place to pick up a "new" 3DS XL new or used? Shocked how they are holding their value.
Thanks.

Have a look on Facebook market place you could did a good deal on a 2nd hand one,

But it’s nuts how the price is holding I paid 150 I think for my new 3ds xl from amazon Germany 4 years ago !!!

I'll be buying a switch in the next few months, I'm in no rush currently as I'm working through a crazy backlog on the 3ds. Would it be worth picking up a few games in the 3 for 111eur sales on amazon or are there frequent sales? The games would be games I'll 100% be buying later in the year!

sligeach

Smyths had them plus digital Mario Kart for €110 in the run-up to Christmas. I was so tempted to buy one myself, but resisted. I kind of regret that now. I know it's silly, but had it been €99 or €100 I probably would have bought it. Anyway, they're gone now.

Nintendo first party physical games are rarely on sale. Worth picking up Mario kart, Mario odyssey and Mario maker 2. Brilliant games. Or Smash if you like smash. Basically you're getting a game for free.

It looks like they've been quietly discontinued with the release of the Switch lite.

Most sites / shops have pulled listings and display. Nowhere has any in stock.

Same as you, I stupidly held off on the one in Smyths

You can get a new 2ds xl from Amazon de for about 137 delivered if you really want one.

Amazon Italy have the yellow picachu one for a lot less from 3rd party sellers, but they don't ship directly to Ireland. So maybe parcel motel or whatever ???

With Mario kart , odyssey and breath of the wild you won't need any other console

I've never used that company ... Media markt ... So maybe double check etc etc before you order. Amazon app is great for Amazon de as it's in English .. and easy to use , but the selection on media markt is way better.

Out of interest, how did you manage to fill in the postal details ?
It looks like it's needs a German postal code.

Doh - If I register first then buy ... rather than buying directly from shopping cart ...

I could use my Irish address, they took the order and the money...
The postal code was just 0000!
But I'll wait and see if they ship it, if not it'll be refund time

If they don't, you can change address to mailboxde.com. Which would be free shipping to that address. Their shipping charges are very decent imo. They also offer consolidating (€10 per year), which is handy as you can leave them there and add other items.
I don't think a few more games would change the price of shipping (roughly €10) but after maybe 8 games in total it might go up to €15ish.

For anyone looking for a 2DS XL, Amazon are having a Warehouse sale with 20% off. There is a Black and Lime one for £103.87 after discount which seems a good price. Description is Used - Very Good which with Amazon can be anything from mint to average. It seems to be pot luck. From reading elsewhere, if it is in fairly poor condition on arrival, Customer Chat usually give an additional discount.

Might help a Boardsie in need!!

Yep that's correct, its just the USB cable (from having bought one myself last year).

It's a new boxed shrink wrapped etc etc 2ds XL. It comes with a European power supply. You probably already have an adapter. It's region locked to Europe/Australia. So, there should be no compatibility issues. I remember getting a 3ds from France once and it was fine. But please double Google check before you order.

Isn't the warehouse deal 2nd hand ... And also what guarantee do you have after Brexit ???

It's going to be complicated after bloody Brexit
