I think the price is fine, especially considering what all is in this thing. It's got 3 cameras, better online (and local) functionality, a touch screen, microphone, and a 3D screen that doesn't require glasses. There's really a ton of stuff in that thing.
As for the release date, I guess I can live with it, though I wish it was earlier in March. And why didn't they announce the launch day games? I hope Pilot Wings is one of them. I really liked that game at E3, even though the demo was very short.
Sorry, I also forgot to mention the gyroscope and accelerometers inside the 3DS as well. So consider it containing a Wiimote inside with Motion Plus. Just thought I'd clarify that.
exact same price in japan as wii so exact same price in usa is what i expected
not 300 as reported by IDIOTS it was obvious it would be same price as wii yet EVERYONE reported otherwise THE MORONS
what did people expect as 250 max was sooooooo obvious
Not buying till price drops or 3ds lite comes out.
What's funny is that the only reason people claimed it was $300 was because the yen to the dollar was a lot different in 2006 when Wii was released than it is now. Back then 25000 yen equal less than $250; now it equals about $300.
What Travis said for the most part. Besides; I always buy my new systems in July during my birthday so it wouldn't matter much when the system was released.
I wonder if Face Raiders was originally called Target Shooting; but the name changed due to what happened in Arizona?
uk being ripped off not reflecting wii price its like £40 more but nintendop is charging retailers 170 there marking up to 220/230
iv seen one pre order at 199.99 ripp off britain
