3DS Console Discussion

Well looking at the site they are offering, as bundles, the 3DS with the following games for £220 (making the games £23):

 

Asphalt 3D

Ghost Recon

Rayman 3D

Super Monkey Ball

Ridge Racer

Madden 3D

Sims 3

 

Obviously in store deals may be different so wait for Dyson but the £25 games being "anything other than the popular ones" wouldn't surprise me.

What's worrying though is that the money is no longer fully earmarked on my card. The transaction is still pending, but the money is no longer taken from my Available Balance

 

My 3ds got despatched yesterday from GAME, had the email around 3pm.

Had an email around that time but it got caught up in my spam and got deleted...

I hope Rayman is good. It's a port of the Gamecube one right?

 

It's Rayman 2, which was on the N64 and Dreamcast (this is the Dreamcast version).

 

p.s. Go head to our main page and flick the 3D slider.

So what do people reckon, preorder from Amazon now will get me one on the 25th like it says? I've always just gone in store to buy consoles so I'm not sure what to do. Saving £55 is obviously tempting but I don't want to wait weeks if amazon run out of stock

 

Worth mentioning that GAME are also doing £25 for a game when bought with the console, though I'm not sure what games are in the offer at the mo. Will have all the info you need come Wednesday!

 

Thanks, but as has been said, doubt it'll be the popular ones sadly.

Thanks for the tip, I just checked Amazon, if I order the 3DS, Pilotwings and SF4 I'd save £55 (!!) over what I'd be paying in-store at Game. Very tempting to just forget my preorder.

 

Any ideas if I'll likely get it on the 25th though, or is it too late to be guaranteed for launch? If I go for expedited delivery, it does say the estimate is the 25th but I'm not sure how accurate or likely that is?

 

You should still get it on the day. Not really seen anywhere that can't guarantee for launch. For saving £55, i'd say it's worth it.

 

Also can give this a little look, still the best deal out there,

Out of curiosity, was it Aqua Blue you ordered?

Could always just go and re-order it if you don't hear anything by 3pm. This does sound a bit sucky.

Yes it was the blue one! why?:hmm:

 

it says there using express 24. does that mean i will get it tomorrow if it was sent yesterday?

I've thrown them an email asking what's going on

On no, only really read Blue being sent out (not seen much other forums though)

 

I'd be inclined to say now for it arriving tomorrow since it's likely to be held by the courier until release day.

Just contacted ShopTo.

 

The 3DS will be sent out via TNT on Wednesday.

 

When I asked if the console could arrive by Thursday the person was only allowed to say "It will be with you by the release date".

This is the reason why for the first time I've not ordered a console online for launch day. I get far too stressed refreshing my order status thinking 'what if they've cocked up' and 'what if the postman can't be arsed to deliver it' for launch day. And the postmen here are rubbish, so I probably wouldn't get it until mid-afternoon!

22/03/2011 Your order has been dispatched.

 

I panic too much. It's part of my OCD. Or really just me hating not having control. I really can't stand not having control over things in my life. It makes me panic too much.

 

:D D'aww we have our new Canand!

 

But in all seriousness, hope every ones shipments go all right. I just cannot stand having hardware sent to me in the post, it easily goes astray around here even with tracking ¬__¬

 

LESS THAN 60 HOURS LEFT FOR US MIDNIGHT LAUNCHES

Anyone know if theres much chance of Tesco getting it to you on launch day (from any experience of ordering with them)?

 

They said to me that they're shipping it out 2 days early (so tomorrow) and sent via TNT I think it was.

 

Everyone is gonna be thinking "Hope it arrives Thursday...."
