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.

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.

It does not even look comfortable to hold. Not like the DS where it closed and could be a different angles.

But still that's not cheap enough.

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

I'm just afraid that since the screens are more vulnerable they will break easier

Nintendo really doesn't have that many creative ideas anymore with their consoles or handheld devices.

KurumuPosted:

this is too expensive. The 3ds is like 160$ so why is this like 120$. Might as well just buy the damn 3ds.
