The price will decide whether its an 8 or a 10.
Does it really matter how much it costs if you have a flashcart?

I may have easily stole nearly $17000 in ROMS in NDS roms if the games were $15 apiece.

Even if my DS Lite cost $1000, it still has already paid for itself over 10 fold.
What does a flashcart have to do with the 3DS? He was just saying that, if the 3DS costs a lot of money, his rating will go down just because it might not be worth that big price (kinda like the PS3).

It took me 2 years to get a Ds-Lite. I had big problems with the first Ds-Lite with the left shoulder button common problem.
I hope they figure that out.
It a big fat 0 from me.

Because no one buys a system and decides not to play any games. I definably didn't buy my DS and decided that all I'd do with it was use Picto-Chat.

Also, the 3DS needs online Picto-Chat.

I voted '3' because i won't be buying straight away if ever, £200 for a portable when an xbox is the same/less...
I'm going to wait a few months after its out, but I'm not going to wait for any "price drops"

The DSLite has only had 2 price drops over the years. One was $150 to $130, and the 2nd one hasn't even took effect yet. Its going to be a pretty long time before we see a price drop... probably around the time Nin10doh decides to announce a new revision of the 3DS model.

I'll wait until the system has 15 must-own titles or a flashcart that works (If ever) but if I'm waiting for any price drops, its going to be a few years. As long as the system is selling like crazy, isn't aged, or doesn't have any direct competition, Nintendo never considers making their products cheaper. If PS3 didn't drop to $300 and 360 to $250, then the Wii would still be at its old price.

I'm definitely excited about the 3DS but I am still wary about the capabilities until it is finally released and people have used it. Gave it an 8 btw.

I am excited after seeing all of the awesome titles announced for it, but my excitement level went down when I realized that...... PRICE.

I still can't see what in the world you mean by that. Domination never mentioned anything about not wanting to play games on it. You are just making up completely random arguments now.

Excited, but I don't know exactly how much. Fairly high though.

And I wonder how many people here actually get the Spinal Tap reference...

Ohh okay.

I hope the 3DS will release mid in January, than I can buy a lots of stuff with it. If the console self is not too expensive, 200 to maximum 250 is what I'm gonna pay.
If its over that price, I hope I did work at my nearby game store and get some discount by that time.
Still have to request if I can or not though.

True. That would be stupid, heh.

But they are having a hard time releasing some date.
Which is logically if you even ain't quite sure what GPU or CPU you put in, nor have a final desing.

Just forget it then. :\

If you can't make the connection by now or get what I'm saying, then its just useless to try.

No, you make absolutely no sense.
You don't need a flash cart to play games on a system and some people don't want one.

If the DS was 300+ dollars, it would have never gotten the success rating it did. Same applies here, if the 3DS costs too much the rating goes down.

My excitement for it is actually quite low. That will increase drastically if a flashcart comes out for it to allow 3DS backups, because until then, it's just a pretty bauble to me.

    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah

    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
