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

Old nintendo DS = original iphone DS Lite = 3G/3GS DSi = iphone 4 3DS = iScroll ([url]http://www.maclife.com/article/features/future_apple_design_2017_iscroll[/url])

$350 in Australia... well $348 at EB Games, which is an odd price if you ask me.

I wanted one but £230 is way too fucking much for it right now. I'll probably wait for a Lite version.

Future shop doesn't have the System up for pre-order on their site... but all the 3DS games they have for pre-order are $69.99 CAD What. Thats more expensive then a Home Console game.

$250? Fuck that shit, it's more expensive than a 360.

[QUOTE=Micr0;27531458]$250? Fuck that shit, it's more expensive than a 360.[/QUOTE] Even though it's expensive, I do want one. But like everyone else, I'll probably just a wait a year for the lite model.

Too expensive, will wait for the improved upgrades of the 3DS that will come after.

[QUOTE=ketchup;27527748]Old technology with cheap hardware =/= Brand new never before seen technology with expensive hardware[/QUOTE] The original DS was "Brand new never before seen technology with expensive hardware " and even that didn't cost that much in comparison to the new one.

[QUOTE=Cl0cK;27531552]Too expensive, will wait for the improved upgrades of the 3DS that will come after.[/QUOTE] Which will be, undoubtedly, smaller.

[QUOTE=PunchedInFac;27536282]Which will be, undoubtedly, smaller.[/QUOTE] And be 4D.

[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;27536246]The original DS was "Brand new never before seen technology with expensive hardware " and even that didn't cost that much in comparison to the new one.[/QUOTE] Adjusting for inflation, the DS launch price would come out to $170 ish dollars today. Count on top of the fact that it has way more features than the original DS, along with a technology that no one has been able to produce on the level that Nintendo has, and you have a justified price point.

I preordered it, that's $200 I need to scrap together, selling my old DS will probably get me $20, so cool, that's not a lot. Actually, if I just don't spend my allowance for 10 weeks I'll have enough... cool.

[editline] m[/editline] That way you can keep your old DS.

I am the biggest Zelda fan in the world and really want OoT 3D but they just lost my sale for a year or two unless I come across some windfall of money. Way too expensive.

[QUOTE=Swiket;27528678][img_thumb]http://i53.tinypic.com/2e4zuyb.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Now for someone to add Nintendo 3DS in that gif.

It seems like when a DS comes out, they release some badass colors of that variant after around 9-12 months. I'll probably wait for those bad boys to be released. By then, there should be a handful of games. I would love to play OoT but I'm not going to shell out ~$300 just yet.

PS3: $299.99 3DS: $249.99 Nope. I'd rather get a full gaming system for only $50 more than one based on a gimmick.

Guess its time to wait for nintendo to announce the 3DS lite. I utterly refuse to pay $250 for a handheld....I don't care how badass it is.

PSP2 probably going to cost more than this though... if they announce a PSP2 and not the PSPPhone thing.

[QUOTE=lead_farmer;27522739]$250?! My wallet is not ready[/QUOTE] This either means you are 12 and don't have a job or you are not willing to spend the money yet.

What does it matter what it can do? If it's still got shit games like the previous DS, it's not going to catch my attention.

[QUOTE=TailsPrower;27541061]What does it matter what it can do? If it's still got shit games like the previous DS, it's not going to catch my attention.[/QUOTE] what the fuck DS had a great lineup what the hell are you on

I'm just getting so pissed off about you guys that get the device for 120$ cheaper.. Don't whine about it.

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;27541124]what the fuck DS had a great lineup what the hell are you on[/QUOTE] For twelve year olds maybe.

[QUOTE=TailsPrower;27541138]For twelve year olds maybe.[/QUOTE] troll harder

I hope MGS3D is basically just the orginal MGS3, but in 3D, it's the only game in the series I haven't played.

I'll probably wait and see if price drops or a new model comes out. I bought Nintendo DS only to get beaten by the Nintendo DS Lite model which is 10x better.

[QUOTE=Agent_Wesker;27541017]This either means you are 12 and don't have a job or you are not willing to spend the money yet.[/QUOTE] The latter is the reason. That post was play on the "my body is ready" meme.
