sorted byThe offers not a joke offer at all. Where can you get more then £100 trade in for a 3ds? As far as upgrading offers go this is the best around.
Good deal for those who want to upgrade to the XL. Heat added
Anyway the real problem when trading in your 3DS is wherever they allow you to access their store wifi (if they do have one) and transfer all your personal information and downloaded content to the new 3DS. If not then your only option is to buy the 3DS XL, transfer and hope to sell the 3DS for at least £80 which I highly doubt. I emailed gamestation about this and well...I usually don't get a reply till a week or so. In my case I can only trade it in Gamestation as I happen to have a £32 instore credit for whatever reason. I might give Gamestation a call and ask.
[edit - game.co.uk/en/…201 seem game got that covered?]

We get more tax on it but still doesn't equal up so im with you there
Shall be doing this when it releases.
That's a little self-entitling don't you think? Higher advertising and localizing costs across the EU; the disparity between USA and UK average wages; VAT included in UK price versus sales tax in America being applied at the till (different between each state); these have to be taken in to account by Nintendo of Europe when setting the price. The real difference once VAT is removed ($199 price tag is before tax) is only about £20/$33 and the factors I've mentioned could easily explain away this difference.
I have preordered the blue but may change it to silver. My gamestation only has the silver in store and that looks very nice. I wanna see the blue before I Buy it.
Traded in a 3DS at Game before Vita came out to put deposit on a Vita, just had charger (not even AR cards) and got £130 for it so can't imagine would be any different now.

I'll probably take my iPad along and use that as a wireless hotspot and do the transfer there and then.
Thankfully, I had printed off the relevant part of the Game web site and showed them that this was the offer I wanted and not any current offer. The staff had to speak to the manager and I had to stand my ground that I would only be accepting the offer as advertised on their website and no other. Eventually I got them to agree to honour the trade-in deal - so £20 parted with to pre-order, then a return trip with the 3DS once the XL is released - pay £59.99 and walk out with a new XL & a new charger.
Have to say that the staff (although very pleasant) did not seem to very aware of this deal but am grateful for the foresight of printing out the deal on the web site & sticking to what was advertised otherwise I could've ended up paying another £20 and not getting an adapter.
the console is brilliant,best handheld i bought (i own vita too),the only bad thing is that the 3ds xl speakers are not loud enough they're basically the original 3ds speakers. the dsi xl apeakers are much louder.

Most of the reviews I have read state that the 3d sweetspot is wider on the xl..
Apparently going off what is stated yes it does need to be but when i traded mine in i didn't need to provide one so i said id 'lost'... it then all i needed was to trade in 3DS console, charger and sadly for you the charge cradle or as i think your calling it dock if all else fails and they don't let you trade it in without box just say you will try have another look for it at home then come back with the box and do the deal but if you can keep the box could always sell it to help add that money to become more of a discount off the 3DS XL as what i planned to do.
Well I plan to play KH3D with a Circle pad pro and I play resident evil revelations with it. If I got MGS3D, I'd probably use it for that too. Games with camera control for me, always seem to benefit me there, and I'm sure I'm not along in that respect. And the excuses nintendo made for not including it are ridiculous, "The battery size would be reduced", oh right, 30mins is a big gain right? "It'd be bigger", so now it'll be even bigger if you get the circle pad pro XL for it, and you have to pay more.
Its nice for people who dont want/need another circle pad, but if it was included in the system I dont think anyone would be complaining.
And yes, that is the question that counts, I was going to trade in my 3DS, if trade in price was below £50, but if I couldnt transfer my data, wouldnt be worth it.
Yeah mine have disappeared too! oO
You should be used to this by now with any consoles/handhelds, if you adopt early you are bound to lose out, but the ambassador programme wasn't too bad.
Had a look around and found mine, although I'm gonna keep em if I can
I'm guessing GAME will let you use there WiFi to system transfer since they specifically state that you can transfer content, and how to do so on the trade in link.
Are you sure that the ones you found are yours and not mine!? Lol I never get rid of any nintendo games or hardware, so I will buy the 3ds xl and add the 3ds to my collection.
Typically, neither do I. My 3DS will be the first ever hardware I trade-in/sell. It's just the fact that if I trade in my 3DS I'll be able to spend the money I would save on Kid Icarus, Super Mario 3D Land and put down a pre-order for NSMB2.
My only problem? I'm having trouble deciding on a colour lol. Red, Blue or Gray? I'm thinking of going with the Red... decisions decisions! X)
(edited)
lol Blue all the way, for me Mr!
If you ask in-store I'm sure they would let you see the various colours.
thanks
