Nintendo 3DS live Event.

[Frostshocker]

£220-£230, seems to be the set price...could be worse

it is no big deal honestly i was preparing for worse at £240-£280

This makes me wonder....I have one bad eye, I can see through but everything is blurry (Glasses cant do anything about it) so I wonder if this will even work for me.

Probably not, because technology is based on using both eyes!

Maybe, well its kinda like Movie 3D right? Because that works for me, Not the Blue and Cyan ones the newer ones.

I don't have vision problems and Blue-Red 3d doesn't work for me either ;-) I tried stereoscopic 3d on the new TV's with stereoscopic glases and that works great!

Are you sure? i think everyone uk based iv spoken to was praying for 200 or less. I dunno bout you but i refuse to pay more than 200 for a handheld console.

£219.99

Hmm Amazon always undercut Play on most things. Atleast the price is going in the right direction.

Some of the software won't be "fully operational" until updates "performed after purchase," Nintendo says. Hrmm. But there's gonna be an e-shop that'll let you buy and download games. (Including classic titles, that you can pay for, again.)

Additional anti-piracy measures, hmmm?

No, just firmware updates included in games (like the wii, psp and the PS3, not sure about 360 but that probably has it as well.)

I must agree with you, even the wii was cheaper at launch and the 360 can be picked up for cheaper right now. This will flop badly unless the price goes down.

Money isn't a problem, I'm really interested in the 3DS. Except paying over £300 that's stupid.

 

[Hop2089]

So by the looks of things we get to pay between $340 and $370 compared to the US and Japan paying $250. Two 3ds's for the price of three.

That's more than the Japanese Price of $307 US and definitely more than the $250 US price. Europe just got screwed in price as usual, lets see about launch titles, Japan already got the shaft in that (however this is compensated by the Spring lineup, it even has Gundam The 3D battle which has a March 24 release in Japan), lets see if the US and Europe does better.

 

[ismaeel]

Mmm not buying it. Not paying over £170, it's a rip off. No wonder they decided to region lock it.

 

[void03]

And i even think Europe gets 25 titles available after launch, just 5 short less than US
But yeh.
Not gona pay over £200 for this. May as well wait for the 3DS Lite or something.

EDIT:
GAME has it for £229.99

Happens with every other electrical product. Apple choke us even more.
Electricals in Europe = expensive
IIRC it's something to do with import taxes.

 

[Silent Storm]

Haha £220 for a region locked handheld? Yeah, it works out cheaper for me to import from america, if this currency converter is accurate.
