Hi guys!

Longtime Nintendo fan gonna take a try at the 3DS. Need some help from you guys though.

Situated in Australia, I've experienced the full force of Nintendo's weird and inflated pricing strategy over the years. This time around I'm looking to be locked into the although cheaper, but cumbersome American region system.

I understand I'll have to get my relatively cheaper games shipped from amazon (or any other cheap reseller that ships relatively easy to austaria)

But my real question to you guys is

Where to get the blooming thing?!

So amazon is out as won't ship 3DS hardware to aus. But games are k right?

Play-Asia I've heard are reputable. Will wait for their prices to come down to atleast 10-15+RRP

are their any OTHER reliable, hassle free and value for money online stores that will sell the 3ds to me in Australia relatively close to RRP. I'm looking for a god price, and most importantly reliable and relatively cheap shipping to Australia. The duration doesn't really bother me as I'll ship well before Christmas.

Thanks for your advice in advance guys this seems like an awesome community!

If you want an NTSC-U system, you can't get games from Play-Asia because those are NTSC-J games. You would need to get them from American retailers.

I can't post links right now but I'm pretty sure when u go to Play-Asia site --> 3DS --> Consoles ---> around about 4 down they have a US 3DS for about $200

Oh, if they do sell US stuff then yeah it'll be fine.

welcome to the forums
