3DS RELEASE DATE AND PRICE

[C.Mongler]

When are those prices from? Did you take the launch price and convert it to the CURRENT exchange rate? Because its been flibbidy flobbidy in the past few years.

I stand by 249.99 as well. I don't think Nintendo has the balls to release a handheld that is more expensive than their current home console's launch price.

I can't wait to see its sales vs. the PS3's.

The conversions were using the old average exchange rate between the dollar and yen between 2004-2006 of ¥115-120 per fuck dollar.

man i want some fuck dollars

i'm going to laugh if you're wrong hiro

either way both are too expensive

permission to laugh at me granted if such a situation occurs

but i agree, $250 is just stupid, but at the very end of what I'd even maybe consider buying.
I might get one at $250 (definitely won't at $300), but I'd really prefer to wait for a price drop after a year or the eventual remodel that will be far better, cheaper, and probably out by Fall 2012.

Of course they'll be better because it's not $600 and the DS is insanely popular, but the price is definitely going to prevent it from selling very well.

25000 yen in us dollars is too expensive. I love Nintendo too, but that's just too much money.
What if it was 35000 yen?
