    It's really annoying that every retail store is doing these for £79.99 they should be £69.99

    Nintendo have said there shouldn’t be an issue with stock this time.
    And that they are continuing supply into 2018.

    So I’d suggest just give it time before supply catches up with demand, and don’t buy from scalpers!

    I really hope this becomes reality and that scalpers are left with consoles that they can’t sell anymore.

    Dislike my comment if you wish but its still above what nintendo themselves were charging

    The entire concept of a deals website seems a bit pointless if one can say "just steal or pirate it instead" (edited)

    I imagine Nintendo will have a larger margin in a Nintendo product, than other retailers.

    If we the buying public don't kick up a fuss about the overcharging it will become the norm.

    I wouldn't think john lewis were allocated that much stock so it probably wont make that much of a dent come 'scalpfest' this weekend.

    I think most would pay the £10 over RRP and considering this first run isn't very unit heavy, that's an ok price.

    You know what,you are correct.

    Nintendo selling at rrp 69.99

    It was Nintendo UK who gave it an RRP of £69.99 - £79.99. The RRP is only a guide, retailers can charge what they want. (edited)

    That might be a place holder price until they know what stock they actually get, or it's someone with a serious case of optimism.

    Even though it isn't even released yet they always sell on eBay at way above rrp, anywhere from £100-160. That's silly IMHO, seeing as no one knows what stock levels will be like as the previous selling out of pre orders has been artificially inflated by all the del boys buying them up.

    Can't tell either way, I'd like to see enough stocks for all but it's nintendo so just have to remember previous years for unavailability of their consoles at Christmas time.

    Yes, it's always this way with Smyths. I think they just 'book' the delivery and then they sit there for a while, until they actually decide to send them out.
  34. Retroagv's avatar
    Screw the retailers man, Nintendo need to get stock back on their site or force people to sell for RRP, wasn’t their whole press statement based on “don’t buy it for more than RRP”?

    I know how to emulate, I've done it on both my Wii and my DS. Not really the point though is it? This is a deals website, letting people know where and how they can buy things legally, yet a substantial amount of the replies on this item and others like it are always "just commit software piracy instead".

    I don't get it. Retro games seems to be the only category of items where this is fair game.

    It's a nice looking console, small enough and pretty enough to sit next to any TV in your house. It comes with two, new SNES controllers and HDMI cables. It has dual modes to show games in 'pixel perfect' or CRT mode (some games look better in the latter) and you have the ability to 'rewind' games a small amount as well as save/freeze progress. The games themselves are genuine and perfectly emulated classics, many of which play as well now as they did at the time.

    £70-£80 is absolutely fine in my book, and I say that as someone who takes great pleasure in building his own PC's. (edited)

    I still find it worth the money for what you get and you cant find it anywhere else for the time being(with no guarantee you will anytime soon).

    I have a John Lewis giftcard from last Christmas I still haven't used so I'm gonna try and get one, definitely.
