The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

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.
