Nintendo 3DS

[Harry]

I had a go on a 3DS for the first time today in Asda, "****in' hell" I said! It took me a few minutes to adjust to it but I'm blown away. It's ****ing awesome.

Now it's at the bargain price of ?110 I'll certainly get one. The price is only going to get lower. I'm waiting for Luigi's Mansion 2 & Mario Kart 3DS to hit, by then it'll probably be ?80 and I can pay for it with my Tesco points.

I tried to buy the GB one`s today, e.g Donkey Kong but the store would not let me?? So confused? I guess they`ll notify us when we get them.

There are *no* free GB games in this deal. It's going to be 10 NES games in September, then 10 GBA games later on.

Yeah now I see the other prices around this ?115 price is a short term loss leader I reckon. Disappointed cos I wanted to get a flame red next month.Hopefully some nice bundle deals when that comes out so I can offset it with a copy of Star Fox

[Hodge]

Even at tescos ?115 can`t say I`m that tempted when I look at the games for it. Zelda and starfox, come on like most of us haven`t played them to death in the 90`s, and did they really need releasing again? Is it me or is Nintendo starting to lose there way on the software side, relying on past glories abit to much? Think the hardware is nice enough though, just need to sort themselves out on the software side imo.

Thanks for explaining. I was so lost regard to understanding what games Nintendo were giving me.

The standard price seems like it will settle at ?150 and though we're likely to get it don't forget peeps, the Flame Red 3DS isn't confirmed for the UK yet

?115 is a great price but I can't see it still being that come Xmas..

Got loads of streetpasses in London today. Looks like lots of new owners out there.

Got mine for ?110 yesterday from tesco (had a ?5 off voucher) then went to morrisons and managed to get Zelda for ?25. Great bargain I think.

Looks like the ambassador programme is being extended, kind of.

My 3ds arrived back off nintendo this morning,6 days in total to sort out my machine,excellent service

I bought my 3ds on the 12th. Does that mean I miss out on the free games?

[englishbob]

Bought two of these for my daughters for Xmas from Tesco, 2 for the price of one almost! ?115 each was, I think, a good buy.

I really liked the parental controls option, especially the feature to turn 3D off, which is helpful to my youngest. Although I think they missed some options out of the controls, like turning the wireless off permanently and when you disable the 3D function, every app you run from the Home screen prompts you to run in either 2D or 3D (because it switched off). Can see that getting annoying!

If you bought it at the new, low price, I'd assume "yes".
