$200 seems like a possibility, but I can't understand why all you people are "hoping" for that price point. Based on Nintendo upping the costs for the (i) and XL models, I can see it going anywhere from $169, all the way to $220. IF it reaches closer to the latter, I'm willing to bet that it will be bundled in with software. Perhaps 1 3DS game, an N64 remake, and maybe a psp style "voucher" for a 3d flick.

No way dude! 169...I think your getting closer with 220...the tech is too new, and its too novel of a product. The more I think about whats on the market the more I think it will cost more...but I agree I think it will come with a game in a bundle, I doubt a N64 re-make, (although fingers crossed for OOT 3D HA)... I think it will be 300 with the game.
The DS was launched at $149.99, the DS lite at $129.99,and the DSi was $169.
I can't see the 3DS costing more than $220.

ehh...you're right. I hope Nintendo doesn't try to make too much profit off of this thing. It would deter a lot of people (including me) if this costs as much as or even more than a console.

I'm going to say it'll be $200-$300. Any more expensive than that, and Nintendo runs the risk of it being a non-starter. After all, the average, not in-the-know gamer is going to look at price first and foremost. If the 3DS is much more expensive than the Wii, people are not going to look at it as a good value. A handheld system that costs more than the console!? What a ripoff!
£200 would be a nice price, but I can't see it happening. Then again, Nintendo have been alright with the pricing of their previous DS versions, so we shall see. I'll be surprised if it's over £250.
If its more the $200 you might as well go out and buy a real system...YoungSinatra25
I was thinking about this too... It just wouldn't make much sense to make it pricier than their home console. Then again, they know we'd buy it anyway.
