Yeah I noticed that. I ended up buying stuff from Nippon Yassan instead. I mean shipping isn't much cheaper from them, but at least their items are better priced.

That's what I noticed as well. P-A even raised prices by about 10% on items I was watching a few weeks ago and I'll save about 10€ buying from Nippon Yasan instead.
Lol, I didn't want the statue and thought £190 was too much. But if I can offset the cost by selling the statue that sounds like a good option. Thanks, think I'll do that. should I get the standard game, or the special edition? Again, don't want the steel book packaging, pin badge or poster, but I could probably get more than a fiver for those, right?
Edit: fuck it, bought the special edition bundle - they threw in a charger which is nice,m although I already have a couple
Edit2: nintendo website shows dispatch date as 13th few with 2-5 days delivery. Have others preordered direct before? How are nintendo with getting stuff delivered on release day?
Amazon France is £135 inc 1-2 day shipping. £125 if you choose the slower 3-4 day option. Still the cheapest but if you have any issues you'll need to return it to France and deal with French CS - doable but worth considering especially if you are only saving £15
New 3DS is £131.74 delivered in UK via Rakuten/Shopto, if you use the code JANSALEDAY5-7 at checkout (XL is £161.49)

code can also be used to get other things, e.g. MH4U for £28, Xbone £250.95 etc

Ordered plenty of times and they've never been late for me. They were late by one day for Mario Kart 8 which I ordered elsewhere, but they made up for that by giving everyone a free digital code for the game on launch day to go with their physical copies. You should be fine regardless of what the site says, if I remember correctly the same has happened to me before.
ok this is tempting.
edit: Where do I enter the code? If I preorder on shopto it just goes straight to my account. If I try and pay with card, it doesn't seem to have anywhere before the 'pay now 'button
Why don't you order it on amazon.fr for 155EUR (which is 115pounds atm) + postage. Of course no courier, but it's still cheaper.
I'm not ordering it from either tbh, this is for people who don't want to deal with amazon.fr if anything goes wrong.
Yup
because it is £125 inc postage for 3-4 day delivery, or £135 for 1-2 day delivery. So ordering from rakuten is a little cheaper than amazon.fr assuming you would have gone for the faster delivery. Plus dealing with a UK based company so returns should be easier if needed.
Although Amazon is usually super easy to deal with, no questions asked.

Yeah, I think that only accounts for the condition of the game and box.
amazon.fr asks 10pounds for delivery to UK? Holy fuck.
Quote me...Anyone have experience of trade ins with Amazon? I want to get rid of Fable Anniversary in 'as new condition' but on the box/insert it mentions dlc which I've used. Will it still be considered 'as new'.
Cheers guys for the fast response. Will get it sent to Amazon ASAP.

Do shop around first, though. Amazon's trade-in prices are sometimes good but often very, very bad.

I always use CEX price match at GAME for my trade in's. Tend to do pretty well usually.
Just checked CEX (always forget about them) & they're offering the same as Amazon who are offering an extra fiver for a promotion. GAME's prices are a lot lower.foobarry81

I'll check out Nippon Yasan too, then. Having only two options, partially tracked mail (~5€
and express delivery (~40€ is stupid. Delivery times are insane too (I'm still waiting for my KH 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX OST to arrive).Unless I can't find something elsewhere than Play-Asia, or they are really much much cheaper, I'm done with them.

How does that work? Game will match any price CEX offer? Can I just show them the website, or do I need some kind of evidence from CEX? I'm thinking of trading Shadow of Mordor in, and I'd much rather have that credit with Game if I can.

Just show them the page on your phone. Games trade in prices are atrocious normally.

You can go in with your phone but most of the time they will go in the back of the store and check them again anyway.
anyone willing to give me the skull kid figure for 20pounds+shipping...?
i already ordered majoras mask LE, n3ds for 200euros@amazon france.
how much does nintendo uk take for shipping to germany?
and btw. guys, if you buy from amazon(france, uk, germany, NL) most of the time you can send it back to their dispatching place in your home country.
i bought a ps3 controller back then at amazon.co.uk the packaging was damaged and they told me that i can send it to the german amazon logistics.

If you buy a microSD card it usually comes with an SD-card adapter. I've never not seen that being the case.
I've done this a few times and there are restrictions - my local Game and CEX were close enough but if there is not a CEX within X miles (5?) then they will refuse it - what I did was print out the trade in page from CEX and take that along and hand it over with the games I was trading in - the people behind the counter then had to scan the item / check CEX's page live (they did it on their phones) and then manually add the difference.
At the time I was trading in a lot of old Xbox 360 stuff so having an extra £1 a disk really made a big difference

Yeah, the CEX has to be within five miles of your local GAME. I always add all the games I want to trade to the sell basket on CEX's site, print it off and show it to the guys at GAME. They're usually fine with it.
But you can use proxy services (it seems Nintendo UK cancels hardware orders though).
You can choose between phone or photo adapter on Amazon.de. Do both fit in the 3ds?
TheMoon
Member
I have no idea what either of those are. Fact is: the 3DS only accepts SD cards. So you need an SD-card adapter for your microSD card. That's all I can tell you.
They are the same standardised fit. All you need is a SD adapter for micro SD, not mini SD cards.

Post a link, it might make it easier.
You need something like this:

You can choose between "mit Mobile Adapter" or "Photo Adapter":

It looks the same on the image, but I dont want to order the wrong item. Thanks!

Yep they both look the same and mention SD Adapter so either one should be fine. Go with the photo adapter as it's cheaper.
That being said, I'd personally go for this one:
http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00M55C0VU/
It's 44 cents more expensive but it should be a faster.

Well, I used them to import US games too, so...
Now it's just VGP. But looking at the conversion rates at the moment, there's not lot of money to be saved anyway.

VGP is still quite cheap, since the CAD isn't doing much better than the Euro. But importing from anywhere else has really become a lot more unattractive.
Not sure. They had the package including the Amiibo for 45 a few days ago. But it is unavailable at the moment.
Is that considered cheap?
It's less than a usual full price release.
Captain Toad was also rather cheap, when it was released.
