Lightning deal. Available for prime members only for the first 30 minutes after which at 18:00 AEDT it'll become available to everyone else if there is anything left.

Note this doesn't come with an AC Adapter, so it might be worth picking one up for $5 from Amazon AU

Thanks Richard

      Rather than getting the AC adapter, I highly recommend getting the usb charging cable instead (not an official product, but I've been using one bought from ebay and there hasn't been any issues)

          new version of the 3ds? nope, this is the "new 3ds" version

        • Yuri Lowell on 26/12/2018 - 17:55

          The newer version is the New 2DS XL which is a downgrade as they removed 3D and it has an overall cheaper feel.

          • grab_ur_freebies on 26/12/2018 - 18:03

            @Yuri Lowell: Now that BigN has determined the Switch is successful they might release a more portable one in '19 so they can finally retire the 3DS line.

            • Yuri Lowell on 26/12/2018 - 19:32

              @grab_ur_freebies: They really need to in my opinion. I own both 3DS and Switch and 3DS does fill a gap the Switch doesn't have. The Switch is too bulky and the battery life is too short to feel like a truly portable system to me. The 3DS is less than half the size and has nearly double the battery life.

              • neonlight on 26/12/2018 - 19:42
                +1

                @Yuri Lowell: I prefer the 3ds XL for its size and library. But switch is better for party games. Short battery life isn't good for portability.

                I got switch mainly for octopath

                3DS for pheonix Wright series

                Both are still needed.

                Good systems

        • FabMan on 26/12/2018 - 17:59

          The Switch is popular enough I that I don't see it happening.

          • Blitzfx on 26/12/2018 - 18:21
            +2

            @FabMan: I remember they said they didn't want to obsolete the NDS but the portability in the Switch has cannibalized the NDS sales. And that game publishers are leaning towards the Switch

            • FabMan on 26/12/2018 - 18:26

              @Blitzfx: Yeah, new games cost the same (roughly), but the newer Switch has the more powerful system for a little bit more in the initial outlay. Shame for Nintendo, all their systems can be easily hacked.

              • Blitzfx on 26/12/2018 - 18:38
                +1

                @FabMan: I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned cost, but they could bring people back if DS sales were this cheap, $100, compared to the $350 of the Switch. I remember a while back they used to be $250, and on super sale around $180. Didn't make a lot of sense like you said.

  • yak on 26/12/2018 - 18:00

    Thanks Kamoi. I bought one for my brother. He's stoked.

    I skipped the cashback because I was on my phone and wanted to snap this up before stock ran out.

    Not disappointed. Good find.

  • jeeg on 26/12/2018 - 18:16

      yeah mate it will work fine from a 2ds or old 3ds

        cheers mate.

    • grab_ur_freebies on 26/12/2018 - 18:22

      I believe any AC adapter from DSi onwards will work as it's the same socket/plug. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Magicmagic on 26/12/2018 - 18:19

    nice, got one on the wait list!

  • Red Pandas on 26/12/2018 - 18:28

      get second hands.. plenty and must be cheaper than second hand switch games

      • Red Pandas on 26/12/2018 - 18:37

        Any recommendations on where to buy? Just Ebay and Gumtree?

        • CyberMurning on 26/12/2018 - 18:39

          maybe ebgames? they sell and buy 2nd hand games, if not mistaken
          also facebook marketplace, or just ask neighbours with children if you can borrow :D

      Don't get them from retailers unless:

      1. They're on clearance
      2. They're rare single print titles (JRPGs from the likes of Atlus or NIS America are often this)
      3. They have a Nintendo Selects variant (which drops the price of both New and the Preowned title)
      • Red Pandas on 26/12/2018 - 18:50

        Are Nintendo Selects just a rebranding like Playstation Hits?

      They have the lightning deals advertised on the site generally at the start of the day for the rest of the day. Sometimes a lightning deal starts start at a certain time.

      You'd have to check the lightning or daily deals section manually every day, or ozbargain

    My order was either lost by the courier or never sent, as tracking shows it being lodged with Fastway with no additional update. So I contacted Amazon and while on chat they instructed me to place a new order and they would then adjust the price with a promo code making the final price only $79. Overall pleasantly surprised with the $20 discount didn't expect such great customer service.

    • cyrax83 on 02/01/2019 - 15:36

      so you had to pay for it again?

      also yep Amazon customer service is top notch

      • CyberMurning on 02/01/2019 - 15:38

        i guess no. they refunded 99 and he paid again 79
