Aizenberg Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) i wanna get a 3ds with a link between worlds but there's a lot of options to choose from in terms of the actual 3ds. people say the 3ds xl is a better option to the original or whatever. is this a good deal? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Handheld-Console-3DS-XL/dp/B00I9X4DLC/ref=sr_1_9?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1404560937&sr=1-9&keywords=3ds + this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Legend-Zelda-Between-Worlds-Nintendo/dp/B00CETU384/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1404561135&sr=1-1&keywords=a+link+between+worlds it might not be the cheapest 3ds but it looks so good another deal i've come across which a lot cheaper but doesn't look as nice http://www.play.com/stores/basecom/listing/935111672 thoughts?

Raven Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I got my 3DS for £100 about 1 and a half years ago, second-hand, like new. XL would be more expensive, but £150 is fairly reasonable if you're willing to pay it. You can pick up used 3DS's for about £80 or less now (and used XL for around £100), but if you're determined to get a brand new XL, then I guess you have no choice but to pay the £150. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_4?url=search-alias%3Dvideogames&field-keywords=3ds+xl&sprefix=3ds+%2Cvideogames%2C718&rh=n%3A300703%2Ck%3A3ds+xl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Awesome Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Regardless of the cost, the 3DS XL is DEFINITELY worth it. You won't regret spending a few more bucks once you start playing it. Plus a Link Between Worlds is an awesome game. Happy shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizenberg Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 oh great. the yoshi 3ds i bought has gone down in price to £139. fucking hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 This happened to the laptop I bought over a year ago. Payed £750 for it initially, the price went down by £70 between me buying it and it getting delivered. I got in touch with their support and they reimbursed me the £70.

Raven Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 can that really happen? would i have to email them or something? Go here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/contact-us 1. Select the item you wish to discuss. 2. In the drop-down box, select something which you think is relevant to this problem - I'd go for the generic "other order issues." 3. Select the "Start chatting" option. You will be put straight through to an Amazon support person via IM, and they will talk to you in real time. Just remember to be extra polite and sincere and explain the situation clearly. For the sake of 10 quid, I'm not sure if they will help out. but it's worth a try, of course.

Aizenberg Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 done! lol. can't believe it worked. the guy i was talking to told me i can only do this once. it did work though. i'm not a cheapskate. £13 is a lot of money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokinator Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I had two roomates with 3DS's, one was the regular, the other was the XL. XL is definitely better, especially if you plan to play FEA, because FEA likes a bigger screen with easier to read text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'd imagine SSB4 for 3DS would be a lot more readable on an XL screen, too. But my eyes are not bad. I'll just hold the thing closer to my face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaia Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 If you're looking to get MH4U, it probably benefits a great deal there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizenberg Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 yep! i've got it now. the 3d is nice. a bit strange on my eyes though. the joystick is also a bit odd. i'm sure i'll get useto it. been playing a link between worlds. i like it. a very no nonsense zelda game games i want to get; fire emblem: awakening super mario 3d land maybe mario kart maybe donkey kong country returns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizenberg Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 wouldn't that game be better on the wii u. mainly for the controls it would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alertcircuit Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 The 3DS already has a rich library of games only 3 years in, already as rich, debatably as the library of the original DS. Definitely not a purchase you'll regret, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
