A Problem that Could Kill the 3DS

I don't think the 3DS will be a bad investiment. I plan to get one once the price drops a little coz there are some pretty impressive titles, relaunches or otherwise, that I'll love to get my hands on. The whole 3D aspect has never really been a major selling point for me so I'm just taking it as it comes. The graphics and flashy new screw-ons aren't what pull me into wanting a console, it's the library of games its offering. So far it's got my vote but just needs a dip in asking price

even i still like NDSi and NDS XL the 3DS "is a very stupid idea" even you cannot play 3D games like PSP. you can play only 2d game like pokemon, metal slug, etc,

SORRY 3DS your production is cut ^^

No argument here. The starting price is almost $400 (why are these so expensive? They're basically glorified toys!), after all.

400$? Are you talking about the PSP or the 3DS? Cause I thought the 3DS was going to be 250$.

Doesn't seem like it could be the PSP because that's around $200. I have never known the PSP to be $400 but if it were somehow $400 at anytime, it would either be a bundle deal that included other stuff, perhaps a lot of games, or it was the price upon its first release.

OK that seems to be a little out of context. Where was $400 found? $250 I could believe but that sounds a bit outlandish for a handheld. Maybe the $400 came from a direct conversion of Yen to dollars but I doubt they'll shift ANY if retail prices started that high. Even the greediest money grabbing stockists wouldn't have an introductory price THAT high

The only way it could be $400 is if it was meant for a different country, like Australia. After all, top dollar console games are $100 a pop there.

Well from what I've just read on Kotaku, the price for the 3DS is still at $250. Besides, Nintendo would have to be crazy to sell a handheld for $400. $250 is already expensive enough.
