Sorry I am a noob when it comes to Nintendo hand helds. Thanks. Bought one anyway :)
There aren't any dedicated 2DS titles. You can play any games released for the 3DS on any of these three models
Where all the anti Amazon posters now….
Awesome deal
They're long gone, they never knew what was going to hit them lol, Amazon has been incredible
Damn straight. I know when I order something from them I'll get it. And it'll be as described.
Meanwhile I wait a week for a big ebay seller to ship me an item, lying about postage time frames and it'll just as likely be a fake… Happened soooo often to me.
Amazon is the best. I waited 3 weeks for recent pc purchases on ebay, in Australia ffs.
I completely agree, I for one don't mind paying even $7 per month for prime, it's come in so handy!
I disagree - the first three orders I placed with Amazon AU during Prime Sale all never made it to my doorstep.. I wasn't going to ever order from them again due to the crap delivery / couriers they were using (was a mixture of Aus Post and Fastway) but did order something a couple of months ago and it arrived with no issue. I then ordered a couple of XBOX ONE games for $20 each and they also arrived successfully.. so seems the early teething issues hopefully all sorted out.. I am nervous about the nintendo consoles being delivered when I'm not at home.. as the couriers insist on just dropping items at the front door, regardless of what you write in the delivery options. I'd much rather pick up the items from the post office.
@gizmomelb: Just cause your local postie does something that doesn't mean Amazon is to blame. That'll effect every company. I've had nothing but exceptional service using Amazon for many many years.
This past week I asked about the price reduction on the PS Classic, they gave me a $10 credit instantly. Reckon ebay will do that?
@scuderiarmani: Ebay does a Best price guarantee. It's pretty easy and can be done in the chat. I've done it for a few items now, smooth and quick process. https://pages2.ebay.com.au/Best_Price_Guarantee
@scuderiarmani: it wasn't just Aus Post who "lost" a parcel though, there was a second delivery via Fastway. Two deliveries ON THE SAME DAY and because the items had been bought during the Prime Sale they wouldn't replace, only refund - so it VERY nearly stuffed up christmas presents for my family. Luckily I was able to purchase the goods I was after at the later Black Friday sale for around the same price.
@gizmomelb: That's not Amazon's fault, blame the courier company.
They did everything on their part.
Can't agree more. In the past, eBay has been usually my default place to look for a generic item. These last 6 monts has seen me going from typing in 'Eb-' in my address bar occasionally, to checking Amazon daily for deals.
Man, I just hate eBay so much.
Gotta catch 'em all!
Poke Ball Edition is no longer $79.
Yes it is…
Only blue and black remaining!
Uh no, showing perfectly in stock for me
With lightning deals once you've bought them you no longer see the reduced price. That could be the reason.
Got the 3DS XL. Cheers OP!
Bought a 3 and the 2, not that I need either. Thanks OP!
I bought 3 (one of each). Excellent Xmas presents.
Bought the 2DS and used my $15 Amazon discount (for prior order issues).
Amazing deal
Thanks very much forumninja, much appreciated.
Good luck guys, gonna sit this one out as I have a new 3ds xl already, it's time to say goodbye to this console.
Thanks so much OP. Have been looking for one for a while now and missed the $99 ones. Almost bought one last night at full price, but hesitated.
Managed to get one for me and the husband for 2/3 the cost of buying one.
Poke ball sold out
(profanity) wow
Dammit, OP. I bought one.
phew it sold out.. didn't need one as I got one from the other 99 buck deal :S maybe the pikachu version might go on sale next..
Got the Poke one just in time, now I have 3 2DS XLs…
God damn, already own a O3DS XL with CFW…bought a n2DSXL anyway
I hate this site sometimes, it's meant to help me save moeney with bargains!
2DS XL sold out - now waitlist
The pokeball edition is a flippers paradise. Probably sell for over $200 once the 2DS XL retires.
$99 for 3DS XL WOW so cheap! I paid $199 last year
I had to buy one as spare. The back casing is about to come off on mine.
(profanity) I MISSED THE 2DS !
get on the wait list right now you could get lucky
Dang I really wanted the 2ds over 3ds, I saw this coming today also
Do I need to buy power cable for this?
The New 3DS XL requires an AC Adapter, the 2DS XL has it included.
how will the amazon waitlist on 2DS work? Will we still be guaranteed to get it at $79 if we join the wait list but we just have to wait for more stock to arrive?
No. If someone cancels it will offer it to you. Basically if you don't get the offer before 15-20 minutes, it's long gone
righty, thanks for that!
If someone with it in their basket doesn't check out and confirm their purchase order, then it gets released back to people on the waitlist.
waitlist worked for me - I just got another
wow, was on the waitlist and constantly refreshing and it did come up being available. I just completed the checkout for 1 unit so here's hoping it goes through..
For all of you who missed out initially, like someone said above, quickly hop of the waitlist and keep on refreshing, you might get lucky too
@blahoz: dont need to hit refresh it will update up near the buy button automatically
i almost missed it because it quietly refreshed that part.
yup..I was ordering the metallic blue 3dsxl and thought I'd add the 2ds to my waitlist and bam.. it popped up as I was about to check out. So now both consoles and a psu for the 3ds will be heading to our household.. will be able to hack them and then play multiplayer games with my daughter :)
I actually think the pokeball edition is the best one - much better than the pikachu version which is a bit hideous
Forgot cash rewards:(
Damn there was 4 left when I logged in for pokeball edition, and then I'm about to click and it says waitlist.
I've learnt my lesson, dont think, just act.
Same happened to me i waitlisted and got it and then got it fo $69 for some reason.
(less cashback)
How do you know when you've made waitlist? I'm on it, but I dont understand how it will notify me that its available through waitlist
where it says you have been waitlisted it changed to you have 5 mins to add it ot your cart
then you have 15 mins to buy it
Can you compete with friends using different console?
scored pokemon for $69
How do you get $69?
no idea someone suggested i might have had an account credit
Grey XL are all claimed now, I think. Only blue left.
No Black is still available. Once you purchase one the price goes back up.
Now it is OOS
If you hack these, can they still use multiplayer functionaility?
Im guessing not, but I was thinking of buying for my nieces and would like them to be able to play minecraft/mario card together etc
Online features are fully functional assuming your console isn't banned!
Source: I have an Old 3DS XL that's running CFW
Edit: also local multiplayer will work even if your console is banned
so far as I'm aware.. I watched some videos on hacking the 11.9 firmware and while it's a lengthy process it doesn't hamper the console or multiplayer in any way.. just don't buy stuff from the nintendo eshop after hacking I guess.
It used to be you could literally download ANY game for free from the Nintendo shop using a hacked console, but that major security hole was closed a couple of months ago.
Just don't do something stupid like playing games before they release and you'll be fine.
Black all claimed. Only blue left now
No Black is still available. Once you purchase one the price goes back up.
At $99 black is gone not sure why you negged
Nope Black is still available, 98% claimed as of 1 minute ago…
Because you were giving false information, it is now OOS but at the time you wrote this, it was not.
I just got the pokemon one off the waitlist
Best deal of the year. Congrats to all who got one.
Thanks!
Another thing I'll never touch but purchased
Anyone know what firmware will most likely be on the 2DS XL?
Your OzBargain membership has been upgraded!
FW 11.5 last I checked, but YMMV
Glad I got the 2DS XL one even if it was for the $20 saving and an included power adapter. Makes it $35 cheaper then the 3DS XL.
Not to mention the poke ball edition will be highly sought after. Much more than the 3DS XL
Reckon?
It looks a bit gaudy but I find it hard to predict second hand value on things.
I got the 3DS for ocarina of time.
The poke ball edition will be the one to get
If anyone is regretting their Pokeball purchased. Message me.
Damn, already bought the orange 2ds
Same. I still bought the pokeball 2ds xl. I also have a switch.
Help me.
yeah ozbargain always does this to me every time also but can't wait forever! lol
Time to research on how to hack 3ds/2ds
Mmmm..same.
Lightning deal sold out no more wait list for 2DS XL
Noob question.. So this can be charged with a normal USB cord?
Nope, the port is not a micro USB or USB C (or lightning).
You can buy a USB charging cable that has the same charging port for a few bucks of eBay if you want instead of using the stock charger
Thanks op. I got 2x 3DS XL.
Only the blue one left now.
No Black is still available. Once you purchase one the price goes back up.
Black is now OOS
I have a switch and a 2DSXL(purchased today). Which should I bring along for my travels to Asia? :)
There isn't such a thing as a 2ds title
