Mario Kart Deals & Offers

No problem, it's the fact these were rated at grade b and gumtree is usually pretty decent as you can

Thank you for mentioning Gumtree. Looked straight after reading your post. Bought a 2ds XL brand new with 2 sealed games for £75 (horror) Didn't really need it but at that price...

Always one of the grammar police out.. must be a fulfilling life you have.

Ikr! Pokémon red was WAY better!

One sugar pls (y)

Think it was Tesco Direct £289 choice of Zelda / Mario Kart (/ possibly Mario Odyssey :/ can't quite remember :D ) It was when Switch + Fifa + accessory pack was £259 (there was a £20 off code at the time) (highfive) *here it is hotukdeals.com/deals/nintendo-switch-grey-console-fifa-18-accessory-set-259-w-code-tesco-direct-2891476 **but has been possible to buy console and top game seperately for less

Been looking a while. This seems to be the best deal with a good game. Argos are doing £279 with a game but the 3 games are choice aren’t great. That offer runs out Friday so I’m hoping they will change the games as I want to buy one this weekend. I need to buy it from Argos too as I’m paying with nectar points.

I’m on the lookout for a Switch and I’m poised to buy as soon as I see a deal that takes my fancy (this one doesn’t). A question to anyone who’s been keeping a close eye on these things, what has been the best deal so far for a new console + highly rated game?

I have read stories recently that PS4 sales are dropping. Don't know about Xbox, but hopefully there will be a price war again soon like back in 2015

I've waited a year. It hasn't really droped at all.... Bought from Maplins in the end. Most stores don't event have stock at full price.

Instead of pirating games like cheap losers do, get a decent education and job so you can buy them like a respectable human rather than a bum.

Aha thanks mate. You da bomberman

Thx dad

I'm waiting for two of these to be delivered but I paid £65 on Tuesday. Will they refund the difference?

Cheers! (y)

"Street value" that fella does talk some utter nonsense (lol)

You can play the same games for the most part, however they've released an updated line of 3DS Consoles with better performance - these are literally called the 'New' Nintendo 3DS (also an XL version) and 'New' Nintendo 2DS XL, which is a flip down one. There are some games that can only run on these newer ones. The main difference is the lack of 3D on the 2DS and New 2DS consoles, hence the name and lower price point. Also this model lacks the small analog stick they added which is a nice touch. Honestly I'd save up and get a 'New' 3DS or 'New' 2DS mainly for the portability / flip down factor. The performance boost is also nice. I've bought my fair share of 'New' 3DS consoles on ebay for great prices so it's worth keeping an eye out!

If you're not bothered about 'street value', have a budget of around £50 and happen to be looking for a 2DS then this is a good deal. If you can save up and get a 'New' 3DS I'd say to do that though - the performance jump is great and the ability to keep the screens covered (and the option to replace Faceplates if you get the normal size model) is very handy.

I am beginning to sense you don't understand the term "Street value". Seeing you mention shops, frankly no shop would sell this tat, most second hand shops wouldn't be able to shift them. They wouldn't give you more than £20 (if your lucky) to buy one from you. Young kids are better off with a 3DS unit, is comfier ergonomic wise, less spread in the controls layout and comfier for hands. Same for adults. Wealth of games available for both kids and adults. Before anyone throws in conspiracy theories and scare mongering, there is zero documented cases of kids dying from using 3D on a 3DS. And even then it is easily disable via a toggle button, or system / parental control settings.

Very please with mine. Came nicely boxed with Mario Kart on Disc.

Wii U is quality. CBHC all the way.

Sure it would, PS3 and Xbox 360 hit that price eventually as most consoles do. Things don't cost the same to manufacture forever you know, consoles are more expensive to make when they first come out then get cheaper as processes and yields improve and can benefit from scale savings if they make enough. Plus the real profit has always been from games, traditionally a console manufacturer is considered to have done well if they break even on the sale price of a console. Nintendo is alone in expecting to make a profit on console sales. It hurt them badly on Wii U, somehow they are getting away with it on Switch, but I think the bubble will pop eventually as £280 is massive money for the spec of the Switch...

From the launch of the Wii U, Nintendo made a loss on each console sold so it wouldn't have been possible for them to reduce it all the way to this price.

Theres a disc bundled version and a pre installed version.

OOS :-(

Do REM not like MK8 then? I don't like the game much, myself. REM are alright though!

MK8D and DKTFD have certainly killed the price of the Wii U physical versions. Another reason not to support and buy the lazy and expensive rehashes.

Been waiting for this to drop in price, cheers!

Still one of the greatest ever games. Prefer the original though

No they didn't! They released 'New 3DS' and 'New 3DS XL' in February 2015. They never made a 'New 2DS'. In July 2017 they released 'New 2DS XL'. Facts please people

its not a 'new 2ds' it is a 2dsxl - completely different and kind of obvious but ok i get what you mean now thanks

http://www.argos.co.uk/product/7308561 Can you see it has "new" on the box? That means it's one of the more modern ones

erm can you show a new one?

The did a 2nd updated model a couple of years ago. All the boxes for those have "New 2DS" on them.

It's now £39.50
