Remind me to get up at 7:45am so I can watch this at 8am (local). That'll help me waste time until the American conference.

I won't be back at work until at least Thursday at this rate as everyone who looks at me thinks I should be in hospital, so at least I can sit and watch this to find out how much of a rip-off my 3DS will be. Then probably cry for a while after Nintendo ramps the price up way beyond what I'm prepared to pay, then cough, and die.

I'll be working... I'll just look at all the stuff when I go on break/get home.

Predictions:
- Nintendo 3DS price: $269.99 (US).
- Basically, same as Japan's launch list except with Ocarina of Time.
- Launch date of March 20th, 2011 (Or March 27th).
- General release date for Kid Icarus, Resident Evil, MGS and some others (But not Mario Kart).
- Launch colors: Black and blue/black. Possibly red/black.
- Games with a $50 price tag.

I'm thinking too wishfully I think for Ocarina of Time. Lol.

Edit:

Amsterdam? I hope Reggie gets really stoned and makes all these ridiculous promises.

Here's a fixed world time clock for the event.

Thanks, that makes everything a lot easier. Actually, I won't be at work, I'll be at school taking midterms. Then I'll watch a little of it before I go to work.
