3DS RELEASE DATE AND PRICE

[ikanaide]

Yes, hur, the DSi is cheaper here than it is there, but the DS is a six-year-old system and it's just pure profit for them.  In Japan, all that has to be done to increase DS sales is release a new colour and everybody goes out to buy a new fuck.  That really is not the case in the US.

I don't like how nintendo is so cares about profit. They haven't release any good new game in a long time because of releasing of 3rd party games   It makes many people sad.

I agree ^_^

Seriously. 


At the very least it'll be $280 at launch.  Oh, and I wouldn't expect anything in the box except for the console and a charger.

um didn't they say it'll come with 2 SD cards or something

also i assume that the people who are arguing that it'll be priced high won't be buying it, correct?

It comes with a 2GB SD card.

It comes with a 2GB SD card.

that's 2 1GB SD cards in one!

I will not be buying one until it's cheaper, no.

[ikanaide]

Well I think that 25000 is confirmed in japan so I don't have to worry about cost :P

[rdl]

$300, nah I'll pass, or wait for a price drop.

it'll be $200 by late 2012, most likely. 3d technology is going to advance quickly.

i hope it advances right of the nearest cliff

how likely is it that nintendo will keep its retarded online system

Very, very likeable. Nintendo take a lot of "pride" in their online system, when they really shouldn't. Typing out a 24 (i think it's that long anyway.) digit code per game is fucking retarded.

I think this pretty much confirms that Nintendo will not be selling the 3DS for a loss in the US.  If they were, that number would probably be much lower.

Japanese companies don't change until it starts affecting profits.  So, not likely.
