So you've found out the news, you think great ngc for only £129!
WRONG
Although that's what nintendo say it's unlikely that's exactly what the price will be. 129 is a conversion of the euros price before tax like vat is taken into much account. What's more it's a rrp so shops can charge you what they like. Special reserve have a good deal at £139.99, but large hight street stores are likely to charge u more. Before the price in euros was about £150 but look what happened, the shops charged £170! Also the stores don't like the rrp cos it leaves for a small profit margen, if a store sells a gc at the rrp, take up the offer as your unlikely to see it again. If they don't make much on the gc then the games will cost more so the stores can make up for small profits.
What i'm saying is, yes great news BUT not is all that may seem.
