Where's the best place to buy Animal Crossing?

[Greg]

Hi there!

I've previously owned Animal Crossing New Leaf. I bought it from Japan with a Japanese 3DS before the release date, but I sold it as I don't know much Japanese, and the UK release was right around the corner.

Unfortunately, I never got around to buying it again. I don't know why.

So I'm wanting to buy Animal Crossing New Leaf and some sort of 3DS (2DS maybe, I really don't mind), to take on a camping holiday with me on 18th August.

Does anyone know the best place to buy a device, and the game, within the UK? I'm after value and I really don't mind if its brand new, or used. Preferably though, in a decent condition.

ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED
Thanks!

I don't live in the UK, but GAME is the store I see brought up most often in primarily UK threads. You should try there.

Thanks! I've bought from them before, and they once had a New Leaf bundle on special offer. They probably won't be doing that again, but I'm gonna wait and see if they're going to do a New Leaf deal

yes a game store would be a place to buy a game

If you dont mind having a pre owned one Cex sells the New leaf special edition 3ds Xl with the game included

I would say try argos. I got the game and a 2ds for ?130, its not that bad

CEX, Argos or GAME but DONT go to hmv, its way too much.

You could always use the eshop to get a digital copy. That's how I got my copy of Animal Crossing New Leaf on release day.

But the E-Shop costs so much more than going out and buying it :X

Thanks everyone! I'm interested in CeX, and GAME are selling Mario, ACNL, Case, 2DS at ?119.99!!!! I'm saving up

Not a bad deal, but in reference to the eshop, a copy of ACNL was cheaper on eshop than in my local game store. Of course, prices vary from store to store but I am all for the eshop for its convenience. The only thing I spent extra on was an upgraded SD card for storage. Just for future reference, eshop isn't always a bad idea.

If you're patient/have time you can always find some good deals on ebay.
