n3ds xl price has gone back up to £159 so if you were deciding, you just missed your chance, my parcel is out for delivery, still waiting for it though.

They get other suppliers to match amazon's price, and then get a discount on top of that.

It's still new.

I've used them for a few things.

I'm going to snap up a white one. Got about just over £107 in in gift certificates on my Amazon account which I was saving for one anyway.

Hey, I just checked Gamestop Ireland and you have the same New 3DS prices as continental Europe (cheap).
Is it expensive to import and ship a New 3DS from Ireland for people in the UK?

Nollog · May 19, 2015

Probably not, Gamestop being the same price as Europe, are you sure?

They're usually 10/20 euro more expensive to cover them being rip-off artists.

XL 240 yoyos

The website says it costs €8.50 to deliver to the UK, so why not buy straight from them if you like those prices?

The normal is 155/175 depending on white/black from amazon.fr

WHY! I would suggest you don't do it. You're one of the lucky ones to even receive a v9.0 console.

You are right, I mixed up the normal and XL when I looked before.
So the Normal Black New 3DS is the same price as the New 3DS XL in continental Europe.
I take my words back.

Well, I just bit the bullet and bought one for about $180USD, so I hope it's exploitable. Otherwise, I should be able to recoup my money on eBay, or I might just keep it for some future exploit, maybe.

Thanks for the heads up!

(Actually, if it's indeed exploitable I might just sell my New 3DS XL 9.0. I kind of regretted not getting a PAL New 3DS anyway.)

And all is right(usual) with the world.

If i didn't do it i won't be able to system transfer and i need to sell the old one, i had no choice.

Got the blue one from Tesco today, sadly 9.4 so going to return, as only got a gateway....

waits for price reduction again

So you bought a New 3DS from Amazon and got a 9.0 system? Was it a white system? I just bought one, so I hope I'm lucky and get an exploitable system.
