I will be, it looks great, but I'll be getting the PC version.

I was shocked when I heard that price. Three hundred dollars has been the price of a fresh-out-of-development full console for over a decade now. Now you want to sell me a handheld at that price?

Sorry, but no, 3D or not.

Which makes my decision to wait and see how it all pans out much easier.

I just bought my new PSP, so I'll wait until the 3DS comes out and compare it to the DS 'Phat' for a little while, before making a choice between which one to get. The Phat will obviously be cheaper to get too than the 3DS.

Not to mention we're probably not going to miss much at first. If release plans are like how the Game Boy Color worked out, 3DS games will probably work on both systems - minus the 3D on DS Classic, of course - for at least a couple years of games before they start making a switch to 3DS only. It's a smart tactic, considering it gives time for the userbase for the new system to grow before you start switching to it full time.

A handheld (3DS) costing more than a entertainment console (Wii)? Ahh, no thanks.

[Toasty Warrior]

Well that's how much it will cost when it comes out in Japan, but there's rumors it might be around 250 dollars when it hits America.

Got an invite to the Dead Space 2 beta...

Anyone want to tell me how the MP is before I download it?

Still seems crazy expensive for a Nintendo handheld; it being on the same price level as a full home console just doesn't seem right.

You can bet a huge lineup day 1.

Nintendo can sell a stick with their logo for 500 dollars. Someone will buy it.

Edit - Also, look out Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, here comes...Apple iPhone?

Well you have to understand, phones with apps are a big hit in the gaming world right now. Hell, Street Fighter IV is selling pretty well in the IPhone games.

Yeah, I'm sure that will happen; hell, I think a lot of the reason for this 3DS business in the first place is because the Wii taught Nintendo that having a gimmick is a smashing idea.

It comes from a reputation they've certainly earned over the years. But I don't know. I'm really not pleased with Nintendo lately; can't speak for anyone else, but with me their rep has taken a bit of a hit. But I recognize I'm probably something of an anomaly in this respect.

Aww, what happened?

Anyways, $300 is the Japanese price, because currently Yen>Dollar.

It'll probably come down to $200-$250 in the States.

Your idea of a stick confuses me, this was simpler.

A friend of mine wants to sell his 250GB with a 6ft gb for $225. You can email him at orochirion.xii@gmail.com
He currently doesn't have internet, so he goes to the library to use internet. Anyway, the PS3 doesn't have the original box, but he's only used it twice once to watch a blu-ray and the 2nd time to try something at GTA4. Hard Drive's wiped clean. So, if you're interested, email him.

Yeah i'm thinking about selling my 360 next month with the 250 GB Kinect bundle coming out November 4th. I got a Wifi 360 adapter, charger, wired and wireless controllers to go with the deal and a copy of Mass Effect i'll put in also. I'm hoping for $150-200, somewhere around that price.

Can you even gameshare betas?

Oh, btw. Demon's Souls is on Pure White Tendency until the 18th.

And then pure black for the rest of the month. JOIN ME ON THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS AND SLAY SOME DEMONS.

You can share everything but videos.

Haven't loaded up DS is a bit, what SL are you now?

[Cloud]

Er.. 80 I think.

Yeah, but the problem is, its a closed beta. And the codes are specially handed to accounts. So even if I gameshare it with you, you'd probably won't be able to play.

I got the Assassin's Creed 2 Beta from someone else.

I don't know, most redeem codes i came across are only good for one use.
