First off, it's been like that in the UK since the XL first went on sale. The XL has never included a plug here (which complicates trade ins). Their reasoning has been clear from the beginning - that they assume people buying an XL will already have a DSi, DSi XL or 3DS plug as it's the same. For those who don't, they…

It costs £2.99 for a charger. It's not a big deal.

Not one XL ever came with the charger over here in the UK. They were either bundled in separately by retailers or you bought it yourself/used your old DSi charger.

I picked up an Ambassador edition and I have to say, it's an amazing upgrade. I never, ever used the 3D slider before, but the New 3DS is perfect. I always play with it turned up full. You always get the "perfect" sweet spot for 3D viewing no matter where you look. It really has to be seen to be believed, but hot…

Yeah you're probably right, dude. I watched an unboxing video of the ambassador pack earlier, stacked against the XL; and I don't think the smaller screen will bother me too much. I ordered it a few hours ago, so it should be here tomorrow. Thanks for the tips!

I'm slightly tempted by it because it has a slightly larger screen than the regular 3DS, although I'm not so sure about the rarity. You are basically paying £180 for the white N3DS with an ambassador faceplate cover and a smash bros faceplate cover, along with a charging dock. The console itself is supposedly rrp £155…

I think it must be to do with registered games on Club Nintendo. I wasn't in the original 3DS Ambassador program, but I received an email to buy this.

Yes, but unfortunately for a depressingly-large number of Kotaku readers, that title wasn't clear enough to help out all the readers who only read a title before commenting.

There is no such thing as protection from DDoS you dickhead.

Holy shit dude, I hope they refund you pretty quick. I just rushed over to enable 2-step verification.

Thanks for posting this! Currently playing through DS2 after picking it up in the steam sale (just finished collecting the giant souls from memories - though not quite sure why), so these videos are super-interesting and topical.

I picked up a XBO on the UK's Black Friday sale mainly for titles like this. I have a shelf full of games still to play, and my week off for Christmas was spent hopelessly addicted to Dark Souls 2 after buying it in the Steam Sale. So I haven't had a lot of time for anything else.

Whining bitch "Pros" crying over a smash character they can't beat? Little Mac? We've done this one.

Great opinion post, but that's all it is, an opinion post, not factual.

A 7 and 9 year old is a little too young for me bro

What a shower of bastards. Can't set up a new xbox 360 bought for two young girls who live with us, thanks to everything being down. Can't update or redeem my own download codes on either Xbox One or PS4.

Thanks dude, I'll keep an eye on it.

Wanna point me in the direction of a £20 Xbox Live subscription there, buddy? Picked up a boner on Black Friday UK, and whilst it pisses me off how slow and clunky it is compared to my PS4; I'm keeping it for exclusives. So I'd like to know where you've managed to find such a cheap subscription.
