At the current price of $350 No online features and alittle to no games at launch ? The 3DS has dropped off my want list.I mightwait till next year when the PsP2 is out and see if they announce a 3DS slim or Redesign then i might buy one. At the moment its honestly not worth my time or money, thanks for region locking nintendo.

There is no street pass feature till 2012 - otherwise online features are in tact.

It's an ok price.

Though I really wish it wasn't region locked.

Still purchasing one.

Depending on your area, you will probably find quite a few people on street pass. The dificult part will be finding peeps with your game. At least we can save our street pass data to our system!

SpotPass -- the feature that automatically searches for Wifi hotspots and connects to Nintendo's servers -- won't be activated until later this year. StreetPass will work from day one.

that seems kinda random...

But I'm happy I don't have to pay 350

NZ$450... Man, that's a lot of money. Looks like I might have to withdraw my pre order after all :(

Considering that both the USA and USSR were counted as superpowers though our economy was consistantly over twice as big.. we ain't gunna lose that title anytime soon Mr.

BS pricing really, we get screwed over as usual, pay more when currency is weak NOW still pay more even when currency is strong/better. Greedy Nintendo!!!

Import. Even with shipping importing is far cheaper. Please show Nintendo of Australia they cannot keep screwing us over prices, NZ too, import the US version, and all your games.

Canadas dollar used to be .65/1 american dollar. Now its 1.04/1 and everything still cost much more here. Cars are thousands more expensive for example.

Probably because a lot of companies depend on the large population of American consumers, and if they raise the prices here people will stop buying. It's also related to supply and demand. High supply plus high demand equals lower cost.

Doesn't region locking basically just mean that you cant play australian games on a US system ect., why cant you just import the games as well? Not only would it more than likely be cheaper, you would also get games sooner, and with less censorship

Sorry to hear, mate. Rooting for you on other means of 3DS acquisition though!

yeah $450 here in New Zealand and I dont think that includes a bundled game, add on another $80-100. I'll wait for a while, if it dosnt come down in price I'll buy myself a new Gpu instead. Also I hate it when all features are not ready from the go, getting a gimped system for no aparant reason for most of the year really frustrates me,.

Wow that's really not good news for a lot of people.
