Retailers across the United Kingdom chimed in on the announcement of a Nintendo 3DS price drop.

"This cut is clearly great news which we welcome and will look to pass on. It's a significant price drop that will give the format a much needed boost. It's good timing too, especially with the holidays just under way, and the new price point will make it a much more justifiable purchase for parents, which I think is an important factor." - Tim Ellis, head of games at HMV.

"We will announce our new Nintendo 3DS price soon, but we are always committed to offering the best value possible through competitive pricing, our trade in mechanic and offers on games." - Game spokesperson Neil Ashurst.

"We will not be disclosing a new price until the price drop takes effect in August." - Sainsburys.

"With a couple of quality Mario software titles in the pipeline I see 3DS being the must have Christmas present for anyone wanting a handheld console this Q4." - Asda games head Andrew Thompson.

"The price drop will not only increase the penetration of this device to mass market but has now positioned itself and 3ds software into pole position for a great Q4." - Morrisons games buyer Nick Sultanti.
