Nintendo president Satoru Iwata confirmed that the 3DS will go on sale on February 26, 2011, in Japan for ¥25,000 ($299). The console's US and European launch will follow a month later in March, but no price details were given by Nintendo for those regions, with the publisher saying these announcements would be made later by the company's overseas branches. The system will be available in Aqua Blue and Cosmo Black hues on launch.

Quote:

The 3DS will also be bundled with a 2GB SD card that will be able to store downloadable content. The handheld will also feature a Virtual Console service for Game Boy and Game Boy Advance titles, while classic Nintendo titles will also have 3D support.

You could buy a PS3 for that price.

This thing is way more worth than the stupid PS3. I'd buy this any day over a PS3.*

I just want Sony to unlock remote play on PS3 games for PSP.....It would DESTROY 3DS IMO!

We now know it will do it thanks to JailBreak......

Yes, but Sony needs to unlock it so there is no hack needed. Also unlock PSP to use PS3 controllers VIA usb; which has also been done thanks to hackers.

SFv PSP VIA PS3 would rule!

Nintendo are all ways ok in the u.k for prices on hard wear like the DS comperd two the psp when it hit the streets in the u.k.

NinkobEi · Sep 30, 2010, 12:38 AM

299 for a handheld device? seems a bit high...

Perseid · Oct 1, 2010, 02:04 AM

It's not going to be $300. Everything is more expensive in Japan then the rest of the world. Look at this:

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-...n-70-3vdu.html $240
http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DSi-X...5784095&sr=8-1 $170

Basically, the DSi XL is $240 shipped from Japan, $170 shipped from Amazon.

lemode · Oct 1, 2010, 04:34 PM

$299?! what the?! lol no way in hell i am going to pay $300 for this then $30 or whatever for kid icarus...so stupid and not worth it for a POS handheld! i'll have to wait till it comes WAY down in price before i even consider it.

i do hope that's wrong...and it is around 179 or so!
