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.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
