Tesco — £114.99
All reports point to Tesco offering their consoles at the lowest price at a stunning £114.99, available both in-store and through its Tesco Direct online service.
Morrison's — £119.99
This is a limited offer available in-store for the next 10 days, and expect stock to be hard to come by as the chain has put out plenty of advertising to shout about this deal.
The store is also offering 3DS games for £25 during the campaign, including Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.
ASDA — £134.99
It's not like ASDA to grant Tesco such a big advantage on price, but there's definite space between the jostling giants on the console. We'll wait and see if ASDA has anything up its sleeve, though.
Sainsbury's — £139.99
Surprisingly, Sainsbury's isn't jumping on the lowest price bandwagon, offering the console at £140 and as-yet no announced deals on software. Whether it drops this price to compete with its supermarket opponents remains to be seen.
HMV — £139.99
HMV is offering the console online for £139.99, with its in-store pricing expected to be £139.99 or £149.99. We'll confirm as soon as possible.
It's also worth noting the store's online portal is selling off games dirt-cheap: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is going for just £14.99, a steal for one of 3DS's most overlooked gems.
GAME and Gamestation — £149.99 upwards
GAME Group stores come in at the higher end of the 3DS pricing scale, offering the machine on its own for £149.99. While this may seem steep versus the competition, you can pick up Ocarina of Time for only an extra tenner: £159.99 with Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D isn't a bad deal at all.
The chain will also be encouraging trade-ins, so anyone wanting to upgrade from a DSi or DSi XL can trade in and get the £159.99 bundle for £99.99.
As for online, GAME is plugging its Play Now, Trade Later deal. The 3DS and Zelda will run you £154.99, but trade it in before 25th August and you're guaranteed £150 of in-store credit, not bad if you're only really buying it for Ocarina.[/p]
Oh and Amazon is reported to be £115 as well, although it isn't a high street retailer like the ones above.
When the 3DS first arrived at the market it was priced around £230 and then five months down the road its price as dipped to £115. The fact that DSi is expensive than the 3DS baffles me.
