Old style 3DS XL with free Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS) (save £25) and £10 off code for sales over £75.00. CEX pay £11.00 for Animal Crossing.
Final price when applying discount and adding £3.00 delivery £82.00, then added £2.50 club points total £79.50. Going to sell the game to CEX so the grand total for me is £68.50. Just remember I had £2.50 in vouchers on my account, so this package would have been £71.00 after selling the game to CEX.
Code: TDX-KTRP

Scroll down to "Buy these together and save" Add to basket. You now have the console and game, then add the discount code at the checkout.
Save £10 when you spend £75 or more on selected Electrical and Gaming using TDX-KTRP
Save £20 when you spend £150 or more on selected Electricals and Gaming using TDX-GNKF

Can someone please tell me the difference between this and the new version on the 3ds XL? Thanks xx xx
CBK to cherylpeattie
25 Aug 16#5
For the vast majority of people, hardly any, it has one exclusive game and a C-Stick which helps slightly on Zelda etc.
jco83 to cherylpeattie

Improved 3D effect (it has eye-tracking)
Extra controls (second thumb 'nub' for camera control in some games and 2 more shoulder buttons but I don't think many games make use of them)
Runs some games more smoothly
Built-in NFC for Amiibo support
Just Xenoblade and also the SNES virtual console games
Wakinglimb to cherylpeattie
25 Aug 16#45
The 3d is more stable too, far more comfortable to view for longer. It's also faster, and better built. Not huge differences, but different.

Zelda: Majora's Mask and Xenoblade Chronicles. The new one has better 3d tracking too and allegedly runs games a bit smoother
CBK to Kristcobain
25 Aug 16#14
Zelda: Majora's Mask works perfectly on old style consoles. Xenoblade is the only retail game that does not. It is unlikely they will make any more games "exclusive" as it kills the market for most.
MMeldrum to Kristcobain
25 Aug 161#15
Majora's Mask isn't exclusive to the N3DS, but Xenoblade Chronicles is. SNES VC games are too.

is it worth £150 just for the new version though or this at £80
kay1992 to smoose89
25 Aug 16#54
New one is definitely not worth it at £150 unless you are a die hard Nintendo fan who 'must have' it. This deal is definitely worth it.

For clarity, the New 3DS is much quicker in responding, loading etc. and the 3D is actually worthwhile using, rather than a novelty that you will turn off after a while. The 3D tracks your head, so you don't need to be perfectly positioned and it will move to ensure that you will see the 3D.
I am way happier with the New 3DS XL than the old one, but if you don't care about the 3D get the original as they play the same games, bar about 3!

Ive now bought this... thanks OP... :confused:
smoose89 to Wilsh88

ye i ended up reserving 2 as i then found you could get yokai free and maybe got a speeding ticket yesterday for going to extend the reserve of the game. gonna be an expensive ds for me.

I've just gone and bought one as well, didn't need one, but at that price you might as well, hadn't you? :wink:
And I only paid £77.50 as I had a £1.50 in vouchers :smiley:

25 Aug 16#34
I think it comes down to a case of do you want to pay nearly an £80 premium (after sale) for improved 3D? I have never used the 3D so no need for me.

They use a mixture of couriers - it depends on the size, value & delivery time of your order. It's usually Royal Mail for low value items & Yodel (yes Yodel) or MyHermes for the rest. They always seem to use Yodel for stuff sent to a store for collection.

Best price ever for a 3DS XL - absolute bargain. Already have two, so not for me, but thoroughly recommended.

25 Aug 16#42
I was in Game yesterday and they said it has a faster processor and 3 extra buttons, and this is meant to justifies it being £100 extra.

Has anyone noticed the write-up, I don't think it is for this model, so can we complain and say we expected the "new" 3dsxl.
•Expanded control options "new 3dsxl"
• Enhanced features and processing power "new 3dsxl"
• NFC function for amiibo compatible software "new 3dsxl"

Just been quoted £77.50 by Nintendo's support centre to fix a 3DS XL broken hinge. Struggling to find a quote under around £70 after postage. Suspect this is a much better idea.

Managed to grab one earlier for £75 after using £4 cc vouchers and used click and collect...needed the game for my daughter's birthday in a couple months.
The game would have cost around £20-25 brand new...so £50-55 for brand new 3ds xl is definitely a bargain!

28 Aug 16#93
I made the same mistake. Ring tesco on 08003234050, choose option 3, hold until you are connected and explain you ordered a 3ds xl which was supposed to come with a free game but didn't. Ask why you didn't get the game (give them the catalogue reference of 238-5389). They will then refund you the cost of the game (at 25 pounds). Just did this myself!
