3DS price speculation - How much do you think it will be?

That's my biggest question out of ALL MY QUESTIONS regarding the 3DS.

How much do you think it'll be? $199.99?$249.99?$299.99?$349.99?...$399.99! :o

Let's guess and discuss.

And if anyone care to post past Nintendo handheld launch prices, that'd be much appreciated! :D

The optimist in me wants to say $199.99, but realistically I think they'll sell it for $249.99. The reason why I don't estimate more is because Nintendo has a reputation for having affordable system's. Since the quality is as good as it is, I can pretty much say will cost no less then that much. Also, because of the previous mentioned reason, I highly doubt it will be over $299.99 because many people wouldn't be able to afford that and that would lead to lost sales. If they sell it for $200 or less, then their sales are going to be beyond insane. In fact, they may actually sell it cheaper because they likely are banking on the fact we'll buy lots of games for it. So that further supports a cheaper rather then more expensive price range.

$199.

Although it offers stereoscopic 3D without the need for glasses there is little to no innovation to warrant a price higher than the big N's typical $199ish price. Heck, It might actually be $150. I don't see how they can charge much more than the Wii for a handheld.

Since the Nintendo DSi cost $169.99,i would say that the 3DS would cost around $210-$230

I thought 200 till today, now $250 because those pictures are outstanding

Probably at about the price of the original PSP on launch day. 169.99 I believe it was?roosuu

PSP cost $250 when it first came out. :?

As for the 3DS I'm guessing $200.

I'd say $250 and I'm basing that on what I can preorder it for and how dollar prices often are converted to my currency.

I hope 200

I'm thinking $200, maybe $250 at the most.

Oh I'd say something like 599 U.S. Dollars.

But really probably $200-$250 I just hope Gamestop has a deal where you can trade in a DSi to get it for cheaper.

$229

$229

My guess will be 250 and come with LoZ OoT or Starfox 64. How amazing would that be?

PSP at launch was 250$.... I should have waited. I hope it stays around 199$

isn't dsixl 170 or 180 now? So I'd say it will be about 250, more or less,emphasis on more. Nintendo is no longer the cheapest console around and I think they believe that they have enough followers to push through a more expensive system. I don't remember the original ds price but I'm sure it will be more.

Why can't anyone check the news?

in Japan and Europe this month the DSi XL and DSi are getting price drops, and the DS Lite is no longer being shipped to retailers

DSi is going to $129 roughly, and XL could be going to either $149 or $169

A north american price drop hasn't been announced yet, and may be delayed as long as possible as anyone with a brain knows that North America always gets new colors, new bundles, price drops last since both the Wii and DS have had more of a drop off in sales in Japan and Europe than North America, where sales have always been healthy, so a month may go by, maybe two, but rest assured as Nintendo prepares for 3DS launch it will drop the DSi/XL price just like those other two regions

So the 3DS for $169-$199 is very reasonable, i doubt it exceeds $199, the thing has 10 year old GameCube-esque tech in it, 320x240/800x240 screens

and guys another thing

we all feared the 3DS would be over $200 for one reason, the fact that one 3D LCD screen cost roughly $20-$25 to put into a handheld, BUT a normal ds lcd screen only costs around $10-$15 towards each units overall cost

We thought it would have TWO 3d screens, thus the screens alone couldve cost $40-$50 but no, only one screen is 3d thus reducing our previously thought cost of the unit

So all in all, Nintendo may only spend $30-$40 on the 3DS's two screens altogether

And we're talking it probably has a 400-500Mhz CPU, 64MB-128MB RAM and like 1-4GB flash storage, and Wireless B/G so it'll maybe even be profitable at $149.99, we don't know but costs just went down with only one 3d screen

later this year im sure they will price drop dsi to 130, dsi xl to 150 and launch 3ds at 180. 200$ is maxmerch

Great minds think alike?

Seriously people are thnking this costs more than it will

This is ten year old tech in a new package, nintendo knows how to add hardware and make it affordable

I'd be shocked if it's less than $200.

Doesn't matter to me because I will be waiting for he second iteration of the 3DS. No it hasn't been announced yet, but we all know it'll happen. :)ZumaJones07

219.99 ,

199,99 , 169,99 -smaller screens then dsi xl , ,-it has to be cheaper , no way is 3 gen old hardware -gc much more expensive 249,99 is the highest

,,

I would love to say 199$ but I think the price will be around 249$ to 299$

My Guess is 179.99$.

I bet it will launch at 200$. It doesn't matter if they can profit from it at 150$, but they can profit more if they charge 200$.IvanElk

Actually that depends on how fewer the sales are from charging 200$.
