Nintendo won’t issue RRPs in the UK, so retail is this afternoon having its best guess regarding the price of the upcoming hardware.
And the early guesses suggest no-one really knows
First off, Play.com (http://www.play.com/Games/DS/4-/33367339/0/Nintendo-3DS-XL-Console-Blue-Black/ListingDetails.html) has gone with an RRP and sale price of £179.99. ShopTo (http://www.shopto.net/3DS/VIDEO%20GAMES/3DSHW21-Nintendo%203DS%20XL%20Blue%20and%20Black%20Console .html) is selling the device for the same price (well, £179.84) but estimates an RRP of £199.99.
On the other end of the scale Zavvi (http://www.zavvi.com/3ds-hardware/nintendo-3ds-xl-console-red-and-blue/10621369.html) is selling the device for £209.95, though it reckons the RRP is a whopping £249.99.
That’s a £70 difference between the three retailers. Which means all we can be certain of is that Nintendo has not yet communicated the handheld’s trade price.
The machine has been given a US RRP of $199.99, pointing to something around the £180 mark in the UK.
