2DS down to £99 at some UK retailers

4.5
Nintendo's brand-new 2DS handheld, which launched alongside Pokemon X/Y earlier this month, is already about £10 cheaper at certain retailers in the United Kingdom. Originally priced at £109.99, the svelte little device can now be had online for £99 from Amazon UK and Tesco Direct.

A couple of brick and mortar installations are also on the discount train, with Sainsbury's matching Amazon's price drop and Argos running its own £99 bundle promotion from tomorrow through October 26, MCVUK reports.

It's important to note that this is not an official price drop from Nintendo, but rather a bunch of British retailers taking a proactive stance on pricing ahead of the imminent holiday shopping season. Regardless, £10 works out to about $400,000 at today's imaginary exchange rates, so it's still worth doing.

I guess this will be beneficial for people who couldn't afford one at the price they were it.

LaserShow I know many people have mocked the 2DS but i feel like it will sell like hotcakes this Christmas. I think the price point of 129.99 is very appealing and would not be surprised to see more deals like this before the holidays.


I could see the 3DS selling pretty well during the Christmas period as well. Yet the 2DS will be an excellent choice for cost conscious buyers and people with children around.

I think the hype for these was only around during the release of X/Y, now everyone that wanted a copy has a copy. There isn't much demand for the 2DS/3DS.

byM8BE I have one of these and a 3DS and the 2DS is way more comfortable and easier to use, would recommend..


I'm turned off from the 2DS primarily due to the way it looks. The 3DS looks much better in my opinion

Ortho Dropping the price already? Lol


Because most people are saving for next gen big consoles like PS4 and Xbox One. I'm sure if those weren't coming out the price wouldn't of dropped yet.


I know some people bought this already but it's so stupid. I'd rather have a 3ds


If it was me, I would rather have a 3ds too.

FrenzyRG look really uncomfortable in hand.


It is actually very comfortable to hold and easy to us, actually prefer it to the 3DS but I got a 3DS so not replacing it with one of these.


hmmm, might consider buying it then :)
