Hardware French 3ds XL - Code EUA diferences from UKV

[ggsumo]

Simple but possibly stupid question - will the console come with an "English" language setting? and will the preloaded game only be in French or English as well?

Any other differences I need to know about - its £100 cheaper than the UK version

Thanks

european 3ds's should all be the same, where did you find one that cheap though ? ^^

All EU games have all language options.
UK is very multicultural now a lot of people living in UK cant speak let alone read English.

let's hope the package doesn't get caught then

Yes but UK customs seems to target Amazon packages.
Here's to hoping

No it incurs french TVA tax which is inclusive in the price which means its cleared into the EU so customs cannot charge for what is basically a "Free Trade" item. They should only charge you if its coming from one of the EU Special territories (which includes Jersey and Guernsey).

Shipment is now with Hermes UK
