  • Well, preordering generally means that you'll be guaranteed an opportunity to buy a system on launch day. Remember the PS2 and Wii shortages?

  • Whoops, you accidentally said today is January 27th, 2010. Has the price been announced?

  • @nesguide Ack! I got a little bit ahead of myself there, didn't I? Thanks for the tip.

    No, the price hasn't been announced yet. GameStop has it listed for $9,999 because they don't know the final price but I think that $249 to $279 is realistic. Game development is going to be expensive so I think $40 to $45 for new releases is likely.

  • @ChicoEdge I'm pretty sure it'll be about $300. When I put my $50 down on it the debit card screen thing said I paid $50 dollars out of $1,000 and I was like "WTF???" lol

  • @DerdleDoo That was my experience too. The $300 talk comes mainly from directly converting the Japanese price into US dollars. I don't think that Nintendo does direct yen-dollar conversions when pricing products though. I think that $249 to $279 is more likely. By the way, a couple of GameStop employees said something about a Zelda game being bundled with the 3DS. I am assuming they were just confused and won't take it seriously but how cool would that be?

  • 88 dollars down, a lot more to go. R.I.P. wallet

  • Meh, I don't think my gamestop will run out because it's in a mall that not many people go to. Besides, I only have like 100 dollars right now. xD

  • @MrPeelhere Well, if you preorder it then no matter what happens you will get a 3ds when it comes out. Because if you don't, and they run out of 3DS' then you can't buy it until they get a new one.

  • @darklord45rer The 3DS launches in March. Nintendo has not announced the exact date yet. The price will be about $249-$279. The $50 down payment will be subtracted from the normal price. GameStop will give you a receipt for the down payment plus they will take your name and phone number. I have preordered systems and games from GameStop many times without any problems.

  • @ChicoEdge that'd be awesome! At my Gamestop they didn't even know about the pre-order yet so the manager had to take a while to figure it all out lol. And it was the day after Christmas so it was PACKED with people returning stuff and kids running around. It was chaos!

  • What's the difference if you preorder it or not?
