Nintendo 3DS

[DJW]

Same here, ordered the 11th. If things go the same way as all other Nintendo Sunday launches, VGP will ship on Friday; DHL will deliver on Monday.

Thanks for that. I hope Customs don't notice it because its express delivery as standard only option from VG+ where normally I have just normal posting for games. It could arrive before my DS games which were shipped on the 18th!

Those two games are Pilotwings and Ridge Racer.

Riddddggggeee Racerrrrrr just dispatched from shopto

I have to say, after rebuying a PSP today and battling with the analogue nub, Nintendo got the analogue thing on the 3DS spot on.

Yeah, the PSP's analogue nub was the worst means for controlling games I've ever come across, my laptop's touch pad is better.

Is your TNT tracking number valid yet?

[InvisibleKid]

At the risk of causing myself to have buyers remorse before the console even gets here.. but has anyone heard if Shin Megami Tensi: Devil Summoner Overclocked has been announced for a European release yet?

No, not yet.

Yeah i cancelled my Pilotwings order on Monday. Just getting Ghost Recon now which should be here tomorrow from an ebay seller.

Never paid customs with VGP, even on a Wii and a PS3.
All express services automatically declare the parcel's value to customs in order to have them out for delivery in a matter of hours. VGP always marked down the parcels below the import tax threshold (17 € in Italy and I think the rest of € countries), so no tax to be paid.

This is what I understand of the HMV in-store bundles:

machine: ?219, ?20 gift card if pre-ordered

bundle 1: + ?20 for one of Monkey Ball, Rayman, Sims, Ghost Recon, or Ridge Racer
bundle 2: + ?30 for one of nintendogs, pilotwings, or ssf4
bundle 3: + ?50 for two of Monkey Ball, Rayman, Sims, Ghost Recon, or Ridge Racer, plus an accessory pack.

*edit* first 500 on HMV Oxford Street midnight launch get a free game, might be the same deal for the HMV Liverpool do. HMV midnight launch people also get a goodie bag with t-shirt, space blanket (no idea), and some other crap.

I'm going to the Old Billingsgate Club Nintendo thing, no idea if any of that applies there.

there are different prices depending on whether you preordered the console or not.
the deal if you preordered is:

bundle 1: + ?10 for one of Monkey Ball, Rayman, Sims, Ghost Recon, or Ridge Racer
bundle 2: + ?20 for one of nintendogs, pilotwings, or ssf4

at least what they said in the sheffield store to me today.

The games I want are ghost recon, street fighter and pilot wings. So I'm better off going for option one and getting GR? I presume they all have the same rrp

[Neon Ignition]

Mines shipped now though I have the feeling TNT have been instructed to deliver on the day and not before. I don't mind, would be convenient in the a.m though

Does anyone know what retailers are gunning for game prices instore? Really hoping the cap is ?35

I heard Game are selling games at full RRP, £40. Also saw on another forum that they are doing a guaranteed £35 trade in offer on 3DS games. Turns out you can save yourself a few bob by buying some of the £25 games and then trade them straight back in to get the decent games at £30. That nugget apparently came as advice from a Game employee to a punter!

I.E get Monkey Ball and Rayman in your bundle for £25 each. Take them out of cellophane and hand them back to get £70 trade value and pay an additional £10 to get SSFIV and pilotwings

[Neon Ignition]

Online stores are definitely the future then, I won't be paying £40, lol

The Tesco where I work had a load of POS arrive last night. Not long now!
