If it is over $150, I will not buy it. I will just wait for the price to drop to $150 or less.

It's going to be over $150 that's for sure. I'm guessing $199 to $250 USD.

I guess I will be waiting then won't I. ;) I am happy with my DS Lite anyways, so I won't mind waiting.

Hmm, I would agree with that probable price range... but there's a bit of weirdness, in that, that will mean its priced higher than their home console, (even at $199 since I expect the Wii to drop to $149 some time in the next 6-9 months)

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a quick price drop especially considering it's a Nintendo system.

Nintendo would be wise NOT to put the price of the 3DS too far out of reach. Even $199 is pushing things... alot.

[QUOTE="HarlockJC"]With the line up it has...Sure wouldUCF_Knight
But we're not even certain of its lineup yet. It's unclear whether some of the games shown off were just tech demos (such as Metal Gear) or parts of games actually under development. Is there a list of confirmed games floating around somewhere?

These were all confirmed games. Nintendo released a press release which listed all games for the 3DS under development, and it included all the stuff shown off at E3. So don't worry, all those titles, they aren't really tech demoes, they're actually coming to this handheld, makings its launch library perhaps the greatest in a long long time.

[QUOTE="RTUUMM"][QUOTE="brennan7777"]

Of course not. Especially cuz the game list i read was just a bunch of remakes that i already completed on previous consoles.

hm...................................... wasnt there a handheld that got bashed for the same reason

Yeah... because that's all it ever got. How mahy remakes is the 3DS getting? MGS3? Star Fox 64? Ocarina of Time? That's three. How many original games? Resident Evil Revelations? Saints Row? KId ICarus Uprising? Mario Kart 3DS? Assassin's Creed? Animal Crossing? Nintendogs+Cats? Yeah, it has a few remakes. Fortunately, unlike the PSP, the remakes isn't all that it's gonna get.

I can't really afford to upgrade. I'd rather buy original DS games.

I always held back with handhelds, i ws on the edge to buy a DS for zelda mainly, but never did

and i thank god for that, since now i can get a 3DS instead, with next gen visuals, all DS games i want (Zelda x, FF, Crono Trigger, Clash of Heroes, Okamiden etc etc) and hte new 3DS games of course in 3D, like OOT, RE etc

Cant wait, price means nothing to me right now, i have saved enough by not buying GB, DS, PSP and so i can spend up to 1000$ on my 3DS !!!!

No, I would never pay that much for a gaming device. I wasn't too keen paying $299 for a PS3 and 360. IMO $399 is just pushing it.

Pretty much,and considering its a Handlheld,Not worth it.

I paid 600$ for PS3, so why not 400$ for a 3DS, and PS3 had almost nothing i wanted much at launch, 3DS has like 20 games of the AAA-AAAA king for me (for handheld standards)

I'll be willing to go up to £180 for a 3DS, a very good price and one that no handheld should exceed.

That's way too much for a handheld. At least for what I would use it for, which would be a time waster in the rare occasion that I'm somewhere other than home, and not doing something already.

Above £199 is just too high imo. I'd prefer £150 or lower ideally.

Just a quick note regarding price drops, you guys realise that the Wii has had one pricedrop in almost four years, the DS hasn't had a pricedrop in over 5 years and only increased the price with it's iterations.

I doubt it would go so high, but yes I would. I bought a launch PS3, this isn't too much of a stretch.

I wonder why people keep pointing out that it's a handheld. Yeah, it's handheld, but it's also a console. The differentiation is handheld console and home console, not console and handheld.

That being said, being inferior technologically speaking doesn't say anything about the quality of the system. I still personally think that the DS is the best console this gen.

$399 is too rich for my blood. $199.99 is probably the most I'd pay for one.

I can see a $200 price tag for the 3Ds at launch, which is near reasonable if you consider the tech and the going rate for mobile, high-tech devices today. Anything over will be a streatch.

Never. That's too much even for a console.

I don't think that will happen. I would guess $149.99 or $199.99.

Yes, but I would be REALLY disappointed if they went beyond $200. Which is scary because a $250 price tag isn't so out of reach :(

Yes I would.

If you see how much cell phones like The Iphone and Droid X goes for then this is a bargin.

You would buy a $400 handheld...........LOL. Nintendo better learn from Sony's mistakes. Sony builds this awesome console with everything but only one problem......it's too expensive for the non-hardcore Sony fanboys to buy. A $400 handheld is the equivalent of a $600 PS3 at launch. The 3DS will fail big time at that price.
