Saw these are going for £230+ on eBay. I have ordered loads from Amazon.fr with no problems.

I've ordered thanks!
Silly question but will all the box be in French? The console will be PAL and no different though?

All nintendo special editions tend to be in English and identical all over Europe

Why have you ordered loads?

I think OP meant 'I've ordered loads of items from Amazon.fr in the past'. Or maybe OP did order loads of this item :stuck_out_tongue:

I believe he means he has ordered 'many times' not ordered loads :stuck_out_tongue:

box will be in French. not worth it IMO, as this edition does not look that good. the black and white fire emblem edition looks much better

Lol, what? No it won't be. It even shows a picture of the box.

Good price. Got it a couple weeks ago from Nintendo UK store for £169 with a £10 off voucher code and thought that was good.

Box looks to be foreign, look at the small text on the box but sometimes they have a different language on each side of the box.

I highly doubt it. A good 90% of all Nintendo's limited edition stuff is multi-lingual, I own loads of it and have bought limited editions from Amazon.fr before. We'll see though, I'd be very surprised.

From what I can see the only thing that's different is the Fr one has more age ratings (To comply with all of the European countries laws etc) whereas the "English" one only has UK age ratings and the fact that everything in English then has a French alternative under it.

I just ordered one.
how does it work when you order from amazon france, german.... (EU countries) is it just like in the amazon UK? what about delivery and guarantee? Thanks
Salfordgirl1 to eliHd452

It'll almost certainly just come from the UK Amazon. Very weird. I've never had any issues.
Delivery will apparently be 4 days.

It said it to be delivered on Friday my order 185.53 euros including shipping. Is that right?

Use Chrome. Right click. Auto-translate to English.
Salfordgirl1
3 Dec 16#22
They'll send in order of payment. I paid earlier, so mine is due Tuesday. You paid later so Friday.
Yep, it's all fine.

I have ordered a DS from Amazon.fr previously. one word of warning, the plugs will be continental 2 pin, instead of our UK 3. Noticed in good time and ordered a charger from the UK site. Still saved overall :sunglasses:

You don't get a charger included with a new 3ds xl anyway

Damn I bought this on Friday, just checked and it was £20~ more :disappointed:

I love limited edition 3DS, shame this one has such a crap design. Such a good opportunity to do something cool and thats what they come up with.

Can you buy games from Amazon France - their 3ds Pokemon Sun game is much cheaper? Wondered if anyone had?
Also - does anyone know which is best - my 8 year old wants - sun or moon game?
Thanks x
Salfordgirl1 to teachelly
4 Dec 16#36
Yes you can.
They're both the same, other than time-zone differences and a change in monster description for some.

I've already bought one of these for my son from Argos when they had stock but have also bought another from this deal for myself. I had already bought Sun with the console from Argos and put it away but turns out my son wants Moon so had to buy that as well. He said he wants the limited to Moon edition pokemons.

Would a 2ds charger work on this?

I really dont need a new 3ds, but I'm tempted..must resist! :laughing:

Can you play UK games on this? Not sure if the whole PAL/NTSC thing still exists but just thought I'd ask!
trakker1
5 Dec 161#40
I'm no expert but think all Europe consoles are PAL which they are in the U.K. so will be fine, although I think the price has gone up now to €199

Thanks! I took a chance last night luckily! Cheers :smiley:

Still considering getting this..Though,would there be much of a point upgrading from a 3ds xl to a 'new' 3ds xl? thanks.

Not really, the processor has been improved so you can play Monster Hunter better and the 3D has been improved

Mine arrived today, all good. Has IPS top screen and TN bottom screen, the other one I bought from Argos has two TN screens. The IPS is really nice when compared side by side.
tsed to trakker1
9 Dec 16#46
How did find out which screen type you had? Did you have another 3DS to compare?

Hi,
Yes I have two of these limited edition ones and a none XL console but it's rather easy. Turn off auto brightness and put on brightness 3, change the skin to the black one. Turn the lights out so your in a dark room and tilt the console so you looking from the side. If the screen don't wash out and you can still see all the stuff displayed then you have IPS.
tsed
9 Dec 16#48
Ok i'll give that a go when mine arrives, thanks :smiley:
trakker1
9 Dec 161#49
please let me know what you get, there is a big difference when you coompare them side by side but you wouldn't be bothered otherwise.

Both top and bottom?

Nah, just the top. Bottom definitely TN.
