Recently bought a 2DS XL hand held game. The price of buying direct from Nintendo was the same as most other places and it comes with a two year warrantee which didn't seem to be available everywhere - it certainly was not made clear on the sights I looked at. After ordering I wished I had made the purchase from Amazon as they offered, for an additional £15.00, a three year protection against fault and accidental damage. My experience with these is that they can be accidentally damaged - my wife got over excited with it and twice it has had to be replaced through accidental damage.
