where/how?
I bought the 3ds xl from a online retailer here in Spain. Promised it would arrive the 28. Doesn't make it, so they give us 20 euros of discount in our next purchase.
It sucks, but if in the next years, they release a new Mario RPG, I wouldn't mind one bit.
Paper Mario as in the N64 one, not like the Wii one? If it's like that, count me hyped!What about this end of the year? Paper Mario: Sticker Star is for this Fall
Either way, I'd love to have a new AlphaDream rpg on this system.
I... I'm honestly in shock at Nintendo thinking that they can sell this for £40 on the eShop when it's £25-£30 to buy physically in store. What happened to "slightly cheaper" than retail?
Nintendo, you can't sell a digital handheld game for that kind of money and then complain that Apple continue to eat your share of the market. If you made this even £10 cheaper I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

Well, here's your reason why 3DS sales have fallen off a cliff in the UK: 3DS XL UK sales "A little shy of 5 figures" (less than 10,000) and also 3DS nears UK 1m three months slower than DS
Doesn't bode well for the price of the forthcoming Wii U in the UK.

Fucking hell, Nintendo.

I normally avoid swearing on here, but fucking hell is right. ShopTo wins again, where I can get it at nearly half that price *and* have it delivered early.
Nintendo's online strategy still a joke. Hooray. I really honestly truly had faith this would be the start of a new era for them.

I can understand rigidly sticking to the RRP, but to add a £5 premium? What possible reason could they have for that?
I think the eShop price is 44.99.

It's special data from Japan. Therefore it's bit more expensive.

Fuck. How much is it on the US E-Store? Might go back to importing Nintendo with the Wii-U if that's an indication of Nintendo Europe's digital pricing.
Here in Spain the eShop has the 17 as the date.
Ferragosto, my friend. The same reason Xenoblade got delayed too.
Ferragosto is 15th, why should it affect the 19th? >_>

Another EU ad.
It affects all the week, I mean retailers closed, distribution not good, etc.etc.
Oh and it's out too.
Another victory for DD.
So now the question would be
why bother with the eshop version?
Because you're not supposed to buy it directly from the eShop: Nintendo is making sure it's the most expensive version to give retailers advantage.
Now, the question is: where the fuck are the retail download codes? I want to import without paying and waiting for shipping, dammit!

lol @ all the gold ads in this thread.
Well, yes, I know Nintendo doesn't get the Internet, but this right here is completely fucking ridiculous. I mean, who on earth thought that selling a digital copy at a higher price than in retail was a good idea? Are they serious? Do they really expect us to pay more for the convenience of having it installed on an SD card without having the cartridge version? Not to mention that we're not talking about relatively cheap though still overpriced Game Boy games — we're talking about full-blown releases that cost ten times as much. What if I buy around 10 games and lose my 3DS? Will it be £400 just going to drain?
I don't see why anyone in his right mind would buy it digitally now. I usually put up with most shit Nintendo comes up with but this is beyond any explanation even for the most defensive fanboys. Iwata can rightfully complain about the deterioration of the development effort in the eyes of most consumers, but you don't counter it by being ripping off your customers.

So no digital codes for europe (the clerk didn't know what I was talking about), but pre order bonuses are up on shelves:
Got one and the price will be 44,99. In general they match the amazon price if you ask them which is 40,89 at the moment or price them at 39,99 on launch week anyway.
Also I laughed pretty hard at this:
It says: "By the way: All Nintendo 2D Games are playable on Nintendo 3DS (Rendered outstandingly brilliant in 2D)"
I guess they are addressing DS bc here lol. That's what I would call false advertisement...

I don't want to open it, so I can cancel my pre order and get my 5€ back if they won't do a price match.
But yeah, it's just a golden coin. No idea how big it is though.
Edit: Wait, It is a coin case! Sorry, didn't bother to read anything on the box until now lol

I'm not even sure what you could actually fit in that.
I think it's meant to be for a single game card
