Amazon and Tesco offer 3DS for £197

The price of the hotly anticipated Nintendo 3DS has dropped even further today, with Tesco slashing its pre-order price to 197.

The offer is only available until tomorrow, but customers who order the device can use a voucher code to save 20 on their purchase, knocking the price down from 217 to 197.

Amazon UK has responded to this by dropping its own pre-order price from 202 to 197, matching the supermarket’s new promotion, according to Official Nintendo Magazine.

Both retailers are now currently offering the lowest price for the 3DS, and are the latest in a series of cuts made by major retailers.

Amazon and Tesco are now marginally undercutting ShopTo, which is still allowing customers to pre-order the handheld for 199.85.
