I'm dubious it says 3-4 days and available rather than in stock. Shopto have it on back order as well, fingers crossed Nintendo product more. I want the game but not paying over the odds.

It's a code - it's instant.

Got it.

Still annoyed I had to buy a charger, ridiculous from Nintendo but I do really like the console itself. So much nicer than the old 3DS

Are you sure? The other items in the 3DS category say 5-10 minutes delivery yet that one states 3-4 days delivery

It says in the description you get a code, and the site gives a code within 5 minute guarantee.

Maybe email them to be 100% sure.

Amazon seem to keep getting OoT back in, I bought it a few weeks ago (directly from Amazon) for £31... I know that doesn't help you right now but worth keeping an eye out...

EDIT: I've used cdkeys a few times now and never had a problem, some games just should be the physical version though imo.

See when you buy a game from another country, when you start playing it does the game automatically change to the language settings of the console or do you have to change it manually?

merlin · 18 Feb 2015 at 12:58

Your console tells the game you want UK - because you've already selected UK when you set your console up.

If the game doesn't go by the language set on the console then you get to choose on the main menu before starting the game.

Perfect! Just ordered it from Der Rainforest for about £32!

Now the wait on it getting delivered...

Aye, I've never braved ordering stuff via Rainforest EU until I purchased the 3ds xl for 140 queenheads + free delivery. Now I'm all over it when speculating any order via the forest!

This.

Even Amazon UK customer services suggested I should do too, if I dont find what I want on the UK site.

I've not ordered from an EU Amazon site before but had to for these. They sold out pretty quickly too.

When ordering from them just use a good card like Halifax Clarity and pay in Euro for 0% conversion charges. Cheaper then accepting their own exchange rates.

Is that card any good? As I only be using it to make overseas transactions from the US and EU.

I'm just going to cave and get it directly from the E-Shop for £39.99. I know it's £8 more than Amazon but I'll get it right away...I'm impatient
