Where I can buy digital nintendo eshop € cards? Preferably someplace where I can pay with paypal and doesn't charge much extra.

The only thing I have found so far is paypal-gifts.com. But it's only available in a few regions (Germany, Austria and UK) and you need a Paypal account registered in that region, so I don't think this will help you :/

I got mine yesterday. Ordered at Game Mania (Belgium).
So nothing went wrong, really.

But I had Bayonetta 2 FPE preordered at Amazon France, and they were late delivering it too.

Looks like the MM 3D LE wasn't as limited as everybody thought. I feel bad for the people that paid 100€ for it on ebay.

Looks like (some) Saturn stores are selling it for 50€ in Germany and amazon.de still has it in stock.

It's still in stock on the (UK) Nintendo Online Store as well, at £44.99.
 
Just bought Guilty Gear Xrd for $25. As the game has no release date announced for Europe, this is a good time to pick buy this game from US PSN digitally.

I ordered a normal New 3DS XL from them on the 11th and it's not been shipped yet, and is now out of stock. Perhaps they were selling consoles they didn't have...
 
Any pointers on screen protectors for the (regular) new 3DS? So far I'm only finding expensive options and cheap options from China which will take about a month to arrive.
 
new 3DS at argos for normal price with two free games. Choose from
- Rooms The main building
- Layton miracle mask
- street fighter
- Dead or Alive

which if you didn't want, you could trade in to game - professor layton is £6 trade in at CEX so GAME will give you £7 for it.
 
I was interested in that 20$ TLOU code from gamedealdaily I saw posted in this thread, do you know if I can play online with european people with that?
Also, any similar offers for digital Driveclub cheaper than 25€? The same question stands, I can play with people from different regions right? I'm new to PS4 :P
Thanks.

Yes you can. you just need to download the multiplayer dlc on your American acc, and login to your European acc and play. Don't forget to set your American account as your primary acc to play with other account.

Yep that's what I did. US game, play using Uk account. Only restriction is that any DLC has to be brought from the same region - so any DLC would need to be for the US (not a big deal)
 
It looks like Shopto have deleted my account with them shortly after they credited my account for a lost package having spoken to them on the phone (very amicably) on Friday. Before I post a new topic here I will phone them on Monday (they aren't open on weekends) to find out what has happened but right now I am pretty upset given the money on the account (£10.50) and that I relied on them for my Amiibo pre-orders and I can't pre-order them elsewhere.

I can't login with my details and entering my email address into a forgotten password form gives me a no account with that email error so they have definitely deleted it.

OG 3DS £69.00 @ Amazon

I think I prefer higher dpi so I'd choose this over the XL. And I'm not sure the New 3DS has enough to make me really want that at the extra price (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on this).

Games wise it's a bit annoying that Nintendo prices mean a single one is like half what I'm paying for the system but I see Amazon have ALBW for £25 so that's something at least. Any deals on other 3DS stuff like 3D Land, OOT, Majora's Mask, Fire Emblem, SMT, or maybe Beavely Default and Theatrhythm?

Theatrhythm Curtain Call, sure: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KWWJ4XK/

The rest, good luck. SMT is eShop only so wait for a sale on that and everything else holds its price. Think I've seen Fire Emblem drop a couple of times, but the rest haven't.

It really depends on which games you intend to play on it. You may want to get a New 3DS for the 2nd analog nub for the games that need it. People tend to find the Circle Pad Pro not that convenient. But then there seem to be people that prefer it over the analog nub. The nub seems to take some getting used to at least.

Likely there will be very few New 3DS exclusive games though.

Didn't know about that, but makes sense. Thanks for pointing that out.

PS3 or PS4? You could always try VGP
https://www.videogamesplus.ca/
which is relatively cheap because of the weak CAD, but the box and manual may have traces of french on it. Mostly english. Shipping is 7.49 CAD and they're very reliable. Seems like the games themselves have a high price though.

For imports directly from the US I had some good experiences with CDUniverse, haven't used them in many many years though
http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.asp?HT_Search=ALL&HT_Search_Info=last+of+us&style=games
Shipping should be around 7-8 USD for a single item.
You could also check if there are reputable sellers on ebay.com that ship worldwide. Play Asia also has the US version and ships worldwide for ~$7, ships from Asia though.

Thanks man.
 
I've never downloaded DLC on the 3DS but I am interested in getting the one there's for Mario Golf.

is there a history of nintendo having this sort of DLC on sale every once in a while? Price is steep as is, if I remember correctly 19.99 euro (or 17.99?) I wonder if I can getting at half the price if I wait.

I don't think I've ever seen Nintendo DLC on sale. Obviously they've not been doing it for very long, but yeah. Never.

A long long time ago some New Super Mario Bros 2 DLC went on sale.

€14.99 / £13.49

It was available cheaper during the game's launch month. DLC being on sale is a once-a-year occasion. Don't hold your breath.

Just looking at 2011 3DS games on Amazon I can find new copies of Pilotwings, Steel Diver, Starfox, SSFIV, Dead or Alive, RE: Mercenaries, Tales of the Abyss, Layton & The Spectre's Call, MK7, and 3D Land for less.

And if I was look for any decently popular console game of the same age I could probably find it cheaper and more easily too. The problem is that Nintendo hasn't produced enough copies, which makes getting a used copy where Nintendo will see nothing from sales as the only viable option to me.

coolshop has it for 40EUR (backorder, should be available mid march). Could be a reprint of the game.

btw. SOCOM 4 for example seems to be OOP too. And for games that went OOP, high prices for new copies is always the case (unless the game is 100% crap).
The proper version of Ico + Shadow Of the Colossus is also quite expensive as well (23pounds for the US one). Cave Story 3D is OOP too and is insanely expensive even for used copies.

Ok, I should've specified it was a 4 year old Zelda game. It happens that you can get them cheap, like Phantom Hourglass has been dirt cheap. But that one was reviewed rather negatively too. But take for example Minish Cap. I've never seen it cheap. Same for Twilight Princess on GameCube for example.
 
In case anyone else is looking for a Vita, Amazon.de is selling the PS Vita Mega Pack for around £125. Check it out.

The bundle includes a Slim, an 8 GB card (I know, not too big, but big enough to start with), and download codes for 10 games, albeit only a couple that I'm interested in checking out.

Used Slims are going for not that much less than that on eBay at the moment, and new ones run around £150, so it seems like a decent deal.
 
Anyone know of a good place to get US psn codes? I want to get Guilty Gear PS4 but I am failing at purchasing a code for the US store.
 
Play-Asia are very reliable, though I think they're among the more expensive outlets. I think CDkeys.com carry USD PS Store credit, and they're meant to be trustworthy.

Neither have $10 codes available though, which is what I'm looking for.

if you change your address to an american one you can purchase them on amazon.com just be sure to choose a digital code and not a physical one if they still sell them on there

There are plenty of guides out there - if you say where you are getting stuck someone here may be able to help - the main things are :

Have a seperate US and 'other' account - on your system and have the US one set as 'home system'

Buy US PSN credit (from Amazon.com / Target.com / ebay) - sign into the PSN store and redeem the credit on your US account and buy the items.

The main things that stump people are :

To buy PSN codes from Amazon you need to have an American address in your amazon account - it does not need to be real (you can google somewhere if you want or sign up for borderlinx who will give you a free US address).

You cannot use Paypal on the US store if your paypal account is in another country

You cannot sign into the store , and the account details page on the same browser with different accounts - its sometimes worth having a seperate browser so you dont get confused between the two.

Thanks, I was hesitating on using the American address with my credit card because the purchase might set off some flags with my cc company.

When I try it i always end up in the store I first signed in on

And if I'm signed in and follow a link to the 'other' store I get an error message ("Its not you its the Internet")

Because of this I have always used two different browsers for the two different stores rather than sign in and out of the accounts.

Example - if you login to the store and click these two links , one will fail

Dying light on the UK PSN Store :

https://store.sonyentertainmentnetw...id=STORE-MSF75508-DYINGLGT?EMCID=GM300024_exc

Dying light on the US PSN Store :

https://store.sonyentertainmentnetw...ight/cid=UP1018-CUSA00078_00-DYINGLIGHTGAME00

One will give you a page not found error (also the main URL is the same for both https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com is common then its /#!/en-us for the US store and /#!/en-gb for the UK one)
