If you're off to buy a Nintendo 3DS today but don't know where the cheapest place to get one from is, here's a quick run through of the best deals.

It appears supermarket chains are ahead of the pack with pricing, with Tesco [1] offering the lowest - £175 - but only if you buy a game with it.

Morrisons has the handheld priced at £187 in store, the same as Amazon.co.uk [2] and Asda [3], should you order online. Pop into an Asda store however and you'll pay £197, while Sainsbury's [4] is also at £197 regardless of whether you pop in-store or not.

Retailer Currys [5] is offering it for £197 too, with various cut deals should you decide to pick up some other Nintendo products, while Dixons [6] charge less at £187.

Keeping the price high though is Argos [7], offering the 3DS at £220, but will to sell the new handheld for half price if a DSi XL is traded in.

Highstreet retailers Game [8] and HMV [9] both offer the console for £220 in-stores, but are down at £197 if ordered over t'interweb.

Whichever you decide to shop with, make sure you check out what we think of the 3DS [10] first, if you haven't done so already, of course. ®
