heres whats baffles me about this. Grant it, the US and Europeprices arent decided, but hey probaly arent going to be much lower then the covnergent rate of 25000 yen (being 300 dollars american)The reason DS did so well was because it was affordable and all that and thats why when mothers went in they bought it for their kids. You really think Mom and dad are going to spend like 250 or more dollars (assuming thats what it is) on a Handheld game machine that the kid could drop and break? Doubt it. theres certain expectations to handheld pricing. and thats usualy nothing above 200 or 220. PSP had the same problem and didnt sell massively because it was so expensive at launch for a handheld. And while this is arguably cooler then a PSP, the same principle of price applies. 250 to 300 is console territory normaly. (maybe not so much this gen, but still)I really hope this thing is atleast 220 when it comes over there. If its alot higher then that, I think its in trouble.

If sony learned anything from the psp its to not make the price so high. If the psp2 is costs less than the 3ds it may have a chance.

Idk what to think about this price. I wouldnt spend 249 on a 3ds nor 199.99. The ds was a complete waste of money for me (not saying its a bad console) but i just dont like any of the games sans the kingdom hearts game. Im taking a wait and see approach to the 3ds.
