UPDATE ONE: The SNES Classic Mini has just become available to buy at Amazon France today.

You can use your existing Amazon UK account to buy the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Edition from the French site.

According to Stock Informer, it works out at around £74 to order from Amazon France and get the item delivered to the UK.

This is - in some cases - cheaper than it would cost to buy the SNES Classic Mini in Blighty.

The SNES Classic Mini has been selling out fast whenever it’s come back in stock, with any restocks at online retailer’s getting snapped up in minutes.

In the UK the GAME website has been one of the best places to find SNES Classic Mini stock online, with the pint-sized console becoming available earlier today.

However, that restock sold out within a matter of minutes, so fans had to be extremely quick off the mark to bag a SNES Classic Mini.
