I don't see why people are complaining about the price tag when people didn't complain about the PS3's price tag.

Are you kidding me? EVERYONE complained about the PS3 price tag! I'm pretty sure some people are still complaining about it!

No, I wasn't kidding, but some people are saying how it's too overpriced.

Guild's estimations are mostly likely correct. Although, I'll wait until NOA announces an official MSRP before making a final decision on whether or not this warrants a day one purchase.

Fuck yeah Getting the Deluxe model! Come on 11/18/12!

Launch Date:
December 8th 2012.


It's reasonable to assume we will receive it with a bit of delay compared to Japan. Hopefully it won't be much later. That's the first line of the OP too, I guess you missed it.

Edit: Just read it actually is November 18th for the United States. Either we're receiving it before Japan or December 8th isn't the correct date for Japan? Either way, it is a surprise to me. Sorry, Unknown. :P

I'll pick one up if it's $299, perhaps I'll wait a bit to see how the communities are going with modding it though.

I love how Americans get to guess the USD price and can round down, while us Europeans have to round up, it'll probably be £230 (8GB) and £280 (32GB) here.

Which equates to $370 (8GB) and $451 (32GB).

Nope Amazon is asking for £199 basic SKU. ;)

I might pre-order at that price.
Got a link? I'm on the site now and it's got no price.

No way it'll be that, that's only £40 more than a 3DS XL.
