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.

LOL, that's life man, no more jet fights, we are not suicidal anymore.
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.

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?

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

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.)

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.

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.
