Cheap Nintendo 3DS XL – save 15% with our tech hot deal

Nintendo 3DS XL – 3D gaming in your hands

The original 3DS was the first handheld games console to provide a 3D screen without the need for special glasses. The XL is an update with a much larger screen, better battery life and new design.

The new larger screen at the top is actually the biggest Nintendo has ever included in a handheld console and this does mean you might struggle to fit it in the average pocket, but it’s still a very portable.

It is worth noting it doesn’t come with a charger – the XL is compatible with the original charger – but if you don’t have one them, you should be able to buy one from a shop for around £5.

Best Nintendo 3DS XL deal

As a fairly new handheld console the 3DS XL doesn’t come cheap – with most shops selling it for around £168 – but Tesco Entertainment is currently offering a 15% off voucher when you spend £25 or more – simply enter the code T15off25 when you get to the online checkout. This cuts the price to £144.30, which is £25 cheaper than buying the console through Amazon.
