Their response,

Hello,

I'm so sorry to inform you that the item you're interested in isn't available at Amazon.co.uk though it is available at Amazon.fr and amazon.es.

As you've noticed, there is some crossover between the Amazon catalogues, with some items being available for order at more than one of the websites.

For this reason, we would encourage you to continue to shop and compare between the two sites and choose the combination of speed, price and availability that best suits your needs.

Please remember that orders placed on one Amazon site will be processed independently of any orders you may have placed on another Amazon site. We cannot combine orders across the different sites.

In this case, if you prefer you may certainly place an order at Amazon.com and get it fulfilled to your delivery address at UK.
If you want to visit the US website the URL is:

http://www.amazon.com

If you have any questions about the delivery rates or about the item, please contact Amazon.com using the following link:

You may want to visit one of our other international websites, including Amazon.co.jp, Amazon.ca, Amazon.fr, Amazon.de, Amazon.it and Amazon.es

We look forward to seeing you again soon
 
Was really wanting one of the MM N3DS to go with my ALBW 3DSXL but wow did they sell out fast. Guess I'll save some money and just buy the game now. :)

Also why has just about everything Nintendo became so collectable now. Old retro stuff I get but even all the new stuff is like super collectible all of a sudden.

I don't think it's sudden at all, it's been collectable since I've ever known it.
 
Not like it is now, I remember being able to Xenoblade and the Limited Edition Skyward Sword long after they were released. If you released them now they'd be all snapped up via pre-order.

I'm not saying Nintendo stuff isn't collectable, just the new stuff seems to be very collectable compared to past generations.
 
When are we likely to see UK pre-orders for the new one opened up? I've been wanting a DS since the initial launch but this seems like a good time to jump in and grab a shed load of games
 
Does anyone know the best deal I can get for trading in my XL for a new XL?

I'm pretty miffed that it'll cost me £100 to upgrade and that isn't even with a game.

Battery might be improved too?

The battery is much improved on the 'New' 3DS at least...can't vouch for the XL. I am easily seeing extended gameplay time than before but really should get down to actually timing the thing out.

However in my real world experience where I use it on the commute to and from work it hasn't ran out through the week and it managed to get into around the middle of the 2nd before I had to charge it.

Oh and changing the backplates is not so fun...those screws they've used wear very easily so be causeful if you're changing those often or planning to. At least every faceplate set has it's own screws attached :p

:D

I think Amazon is overcharging a bit though. Considering Nintendo wanted £209 with a figure. But the pre-order price promise might kick in. Already a couple of quid cheaper.

With a bundle like the MM one where it says "game pre-installed" I'm guessing you'd also get a download code to add it to your account? I was hoping to get a bigger sd card and transfer my old 3DS data over before installing MM.

Me too, also what sd cards should I look at for size and reliability?
 
Just stick to the major brands and you'll be ok, 32gb is fine (confirmed working on Japan models) and I seriously doubt you'll need bigger. I'm actually going for an 8 or 16gb as their games are so small but I think the standard 4gb would props suit me fine. No SDXC cards either. Goign with Kingston 8GB Micro SD (SDHC) Card - Class 4 myself for £3.99
