Good price, I already have one. But I think Nintendo are cheeky for not supplying the power adapter with the product. I know that it's to make the package more affordable and anyone with a DS has a power adapter but every other product you buy comes with one. All Android phones (to my knowledge) come with adapters despite most people owning half a dozen. And pre-loading the game instead of giving you the physical game is also sneaky, means there aren't an influx of used bundle games being traded in driving down the retail price of their units. Good business practice but ultimately bad for the consumer.

​Yeah, it's not a very consumer-friendly move. I know Nintendo fans will jump to their defense but it really doesn't buy them much consumer love. I can imagine the majority of parents buying this for their kids for Christmas only to find out they have to wait until the shops re-open so they can buy an adapter. Have Nintendo given up on the "New" 3DS? As far as I know only one game takes advantage of the better hardware, which isn't surprising as it developers would rather make a game for everyone with a 3DS rather than the handful of people who opted for the "New" 3DS.

Good price

My eldest daughter has a 3DS and I want to get the 3DS XL for my youngest. Can I use the same adapter or do I need to buy a new one?

any idea when it expires?

Thanks

As I said it makes good business sense. ​They could still ship the adapters for that given Country seperately and still bundle them together. It's really not so much a cost thing as a convenience thing.

Hot! Ordered 1. Had to cancel Pokemon bundle from zavvi as they're having problems with stock...what a surprise.

​and at the time the graphics was awesome haha

I've seen Sainsburys and Tesco do cheaper deals, in the last few weeks, it might be worth holding off for Black Friday

I am weak, so very weak :disappointed:

I gave in and bought Luigi's bundle from our local store, they had 2 left but had tons of the NSMB2 bundles left on the shelf

sorry but whats the latest 3ds xl model called please?

Tempted to buy! I have a Wii U and totally dont need it, may as well burn the cash. But I still. Want. It.

Nintendo sure come up with daft names. The tradition seems to have started at the time of the Wii, but the stupid naming sense travelled over to games too, like Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Are you ****ing kidding me? :confused: Let's just hope they don't screw up the NX and name it something that sounds like a Wii U peripheral.

Yeah it was a shocking choice. Kept on digging that hole

Just bought a used one a week ago for a similar price, might buy this one and sell my current one. Only thing is I'm wondering whether to wait for see if there are any better deals or should I just go for this one?

Just go for this and if a better deal comes along just take it back for a refund that's what I have done

Best deal I have seen, already bought one from tesco for 125 but returned it as this cheaper and has the free game! Heat

Don't forget the 3.15% TCB
