Bundles are always cheaper than buying the console and the game(s) separately. It’s a higher price than the console alone, however, you get more bang for the buck while saving.

Limited Edition 3DS XL Fire Emblem : Awakening Pack
Previously priced at £199.99, the limited edition 3DS XL Fire Emblem Awakening bundle sells for an affordable £179.86 price tag at ShopTo. I don’t know how long the 10% discount will last, however, it seems permanent due to the lack of a “limited time only” notice.

Remember, the European region Nintendo 3DS XL does not come with an AC adapter. You will be required to purchase it separately via retail. The charger should sell at most game stores in the United Kingdom and I’m certain that its price tag is cheap.
