Nintendo 3DS Pricing and Release Dates announced, Europe gets the short end of stick - Polidicks

[QUOTE]Combat of Giants Dinosaurs 3D[/QUOTE] What?

I don't wont rebuy my favorite gameboy/gameboy color games.

Sadly, I'll have to pass. I bought a DSi when it came out and I don't want to buy another DS, and I'm spending $950 on hardware for a PC upgrade.

€250? Fuck. Not sure if I'll buy it.

So I was going to buy one but then £230

Wooo I can't wait to get my 3DS for $250 and not a penny more hehe.

[quote]Europe gets the short end of stick[/quote] This is where I'm supposed to be surprised, right?

This is why I hate Nintendo, they release a new DS every year or two and its really annoying to see kids go on about how they got "DERP NEW DS BETTAR THAN URS HERP" Why not just make a version that has everything ready for it so you don't have to realize that you spent 200+ dollars on a handheld that will probably be upgraded with something new in like a year or two. Incoming dumbs.

All those other iterations were dumb yes, but this is an actual upgrade unlike the DSi or DS Lite. Also stop hanging out with 12 year olds.

Looks like I'll go ahead and wait a year. I was hoping for a reasonable price at launch.

New Zealand will probably have it going for over 350usd.

hmm i spent 200 quid on a ps3 and i have to spend 250 on a handheld? i dont think i will be.

[QUOTE=ketchup;27527748]Old technology with cheap hardware =/= Brand new never before seen technology with expensive hardware[/QUOTE] Just a question here, which company are you a fanboy of?

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;27527832]Just a question here, which company are you a fanboy of?[/QUOTE] None. [editline]19th January 2011[/editline] except for the PC master race

[QUOTE=ketchup;27527842]None. [editline]19th January 2011[/editline] except for the PC master race[/QUOTE] ill get one second hand

I knew that my refusal to get a DSi would pay off some day.

i'm probably going to get this just for professor layton vs. phoenix wright

250 Euros may be a bit too much for me.

Too bad it's 378$ here, i'll just wait until it's at ds prices.

I want a 3DS but why the hell did they have to go "fuck converting the currency, we'll just change the dollar sign to an euro sign".

[QUOTE=AntonFTW;27528928]I want a 3DS but why the hell did they have to go "fuck converting the currency, we'll just change the dollar sign to an euro sign".[/QUOTE] For the same reason Valve does it.

It's region-locked too, so I can't just order one from the USA.

FFFuck.

[QUOTE=lead_farmer;27523843]I've already updated this .gif for today. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/iu0rV.gif[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] heh. nice

Overpricing again, I'm starting to think currency conversion isn't any companies strong point.
