I pre-ordered this one off Amazon as I had £65 free money from Quidco cash back and about 2 days ago I noticed there is 1 dead pixel at the top corner of the screen. It won't bother me in game play as it was very hard to spot, but it's a little bit annoying to have it on a brand new console that is less than 2 weeks old and I've treated it with kid gloves!

I got mine today also in a jiffy envelope in a plastic bag and mine too had a corner of the box dented. Bit p*ssed off that they sent it out unprotected but if i send it back i probably wont get another >:-(

They should really come in a cardboard box. Having said that, I received Majora's Mask special edition in a cardboard box from Nintendo and it was damaged - but the box was properly abused.

No dents here, but the edges of the box have some wear. Not great for collectors.

Just got mine, dunno about carrierbags (mine came in a jiffy, with a DPD bag around it), box was slightly dented, but nothing crazy.

What's less good, is that mine had 2 dead pixels in one corner of the top screen. That to me is a bunch of BS, is it common?

I should have waited! Ordered from Nintendo last week, came with charger, skull kid figurine and mario soft toy for £180

Does this come with hyrule warriors?

Heat! Brilliant price, too good to pass up! Was going to sleep on it but 2 just sold in the last 20 mins and only 7 left so had to jump on the computer.

wow that's nice

thank you, just ordered, heat added

I'd go for this but my last two orders through Rakuten have mysteriously gone missing, after 5 emails I had no response, no explanation, no refund.

I paid 130 for the new xl the new xl is a must now its so comfy to hold and the battery is great. 145 for a themed one with no game??? Ermm no.

seriously tempted but already got a white 3ds xl. I did get a new 3ds xl to see what the 3d effect was like and didn't think it was much of an improvement so sent it back :disappointed:

Would anybody recommend I revisit it?

I wonder if anyone could give me an advice. I'm thinking of buying Nintendo 3DS XL just for casual playing. Should I go for this new model or will the old model be satisfactory for occasional playing?

I have also heard that the old 3DS doesn't have very good 3D system and that the new one uses front camera for 3D which improved a lot.

So if for casual gameplay you'd recommend the old model, do you think I might as well go for the 2DS and save money?

I'm going to admit - I want to buy it just so I can play the Pokemon X/Y games.

So what would be the best option to go for? Casual gaming (you know, when travelling, when on the toilet, etc.) and only looking into it because of Pokemon X/Y games.

This is not the New 3ds is it?

Man I REALLY want an XL. This is a great deal!

Was hoping to see a deal for this. Thanks.

Holy crap I'm tempted, £20 off what I paid for my regular XL a couple years ago :o

Nice find OP!! Thanks for the info :smiley:

Great deal!

I paid £160, but this is even better!

+ £5 Quidco

Hot!
