If 3DS goes up to $399, Would you buy it?

No, I don't want to own a system that's going to fail.

Hell no. I got my Iphone at a great student deal, 50$ a month and the phone costed me 30$ here in Canada, why the HELL would I buy a handheld at 400$? I waited for as long as I could for the PS3's price to drop and no way in hell would I pay for a gaming system for more than what I paid for my PS3.-_-

However, Nintendo would NEVER do that. They would rather wait until costs are down and release it at 199.99. Max 249.99 but that's a wee bit of a strech.

No. The handheld looks very good, but not worth what a 360 or PS3 are. I would pay $200 max at most for it.

Good Lord no. I felt bad buying my PS3 for 300 and its a console.

Of course not.

It's not a matter of being poor or not, it's about being intelligent with your money. Wasting 400$ for a handheld when it's price would go down eventually as well as it's games price is just stupid imo.

This also goes to the PS3 owners who bought their consoles at 500$ for the 20G. I have a friend and I really feel sorry for him since he has no wifi while I have an extra 100G HDD + wifi and almost half the price. I just find it sad but if you don't regret it, by all means ignore my post.

Nintendo would never do that, but if they did I would still buy it

Nintendo is not stupid they are not gonna charge more for a handheld then the wii...:P

anyway nope

I would never pay that much for a handheld.

Yes I would.

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

$400 is roughly about £260 and no i wouldnt pay that but would gladly pay £200.

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.

Because, like you said, inferior tech. I could never bring myself to pay more than 50 bucks for a handheld.

Maybe not I would have trouble spending more then $250 for a Console so I doubt I would spend more for a Handheld.

no way I would much rahter buy a few games for my ps3 and psp instead.

Inferior tech doesn't mean inferior gaming system. I pay for systems to play great games, I'd pay more for a DS than a PS3, for example, because I think the former has a better game library.

I presume you've never bought a handheld before? Not many that sell for 50 bucks.

Yes I would.

But those are phones. You can phone people with them and text...

But no I wouldn't pay $400 for a handheld. I'd rather buy like 6-8 games for my 360 than spend that much on a 3DS. I plan to buy it when its a cheaper, like $250 or so.

$200 is the perfect price. It better be that.

I think 250 is is way too expensive for a portable gaming system.

200 should be it's price.

Yes. The games speak for themselves. (Although I doubt Nintendo would do such a thing)

No, it doesn't mean inferior gaming, but it does mean, wait for it, inferior tech. Which is, usually, cheaper tech. Cheaper parts means it costs less to produce, which should translate to cheaper sales price. Anything outside standard mark up is just price gouging.

No, I've never bought a handheld. I had an original gameboy and there's a gameboy advance floating around here somewhere. The only game I've cared to play on either is Tetris.

Definitely, that high price means that Nintendo is going to double the wow factor, count me in!!

Heck no!

199$ is the absolute max I would pay for a portable.

399$ for a console.

Ah, I see your point. ;)

With the line up it has...Sure wouldHarlockJC

you would pay 400 dollars to play previous gen games...like OOT and MGS3? those are the best 2 games announced for it.

Nintendo has rumored that the 3DS "be online all the time." Hinting at their own 3G network or something. If may be a phone too.

Only non-gamers would pass up this deal.

150$ - I have to have it right now!

200$ - I'll buy it

250-280$ - I'll consider buying it

Anything above that much I won't be getting it.

Yes I would.
