I thought this was an interesting article regarding the estimated hardware costs of making the 3DS system.
I imagine alot of the non-hardware costs are for the massive promotions and advertising they've been running so once this is over and they stream-line the production lines and figure out how to make the hardware with less materials, signifigant future markdowns should be do-able.
I'm gonna wait for the markdowns or a 3DS-Lite version (I know they said there wasn't gonna be one, but still..). $250 is just too much for what the 3DS is offering IMO and I still have DS games I want to play, but don't really have the time to play.
