2DS down to £99 at some UK retailers

4.5
Nintendo's brand-new 2DS handheld, which launched alongside Pokemon X/Y earlier this month, is already about £10 cheaper at certain retailers in the United Kingdom. Originally priced at £109.99, the svelte little device can now be had online for £99 from Amazon UK and Tesco Direct.

A couple of brick and mortar installations are also on the discount train, with Sainsbury's matching Amazon's price drop and Argos running its own £99 bundle promotion from tomorrow through October 26, MCVUK reports.

It's important to note that this is not an official price drop from Nintendo, but rather a bunch of British retailers taking a proactive stance on pricing ahead of the imminent holiday shopping season. Regardless, £10 works out to about $400,000 at today's imaginary exchange rates, so it's still worth doing.

FrenzyRG look really uncomfortable in hand.


It is actually very comfortable to hold and easy to us, actually prefer it to the 3DS but I got a 3DS so not replacing it with one of these.

What? Does it not fold or anything? reminds me of the gameboy color to gameboy advance but backwards

Human The DS, DS Lite and 3DS are the only innovative products. Why the hell would you want more reshaped and resized DSs? They have the extra large one, this one, what a load of crap


Because the DS and DS Lite can't play 3DS games. Also, this was made for younger children so that they can't bend it backwards and break it and doesn't have 3D to hurt their eyes. I think this is great.

Lavish I don't know why a 2DS would be this expensive when you can buy a 3DS for around this price.


2DS isn't the same price as a 3DS stupid and people would like this better if they don't even care about the 3D capabilities on games.


Why would anyone like this better?
It can't even fold down so it is going to be twice as hard to carry around because you have to make sure that the screens don't break when you have them in your bag.
Most people sell their 3DS's locally for only up to 60 pounds here in the UK...
