3DS Preorders Avaliable

[DeMoN]

I'm more concerned about the release date. I was hoping it would be sometime 2010 because I really can't wait for this.

...Thats almost expensive as my last phone bill....
No, thats not even a joke.

I'm sure EBGames/Gamestop just want to get people into the store so they can start pushing their used games that cost $5 less than brand new (yet unsealed for some mysterious Gamestop reason) copies. Oh, and I bet they'll offer some trade-in deal that's less advantageous for you than they make it sound, in order to be able to push your used games on the next customer. Biggest POS store around.

Also, things are always more expensive in places like Australia, Europe, etc. anyway. Even if that were a good estimate of the launch price (though I think it's a bit high, even for that region), it'll still probably launch at $200 in North America.

STOP BEING SO IGNORANT
This is the RUMORED price for AUSTRALIA, where stuff like this tends to be more expensive anyway.

EB games has to be wrong. Why would Nintendo charge more then any other system they've ever sold? For a hand held? Plus don't you think it's a little early to go on to a preorder for a system that hasn't had a confirmed price, or release date?

 

[Sh!fT_23]

Haha, I like how the Red 3DS is "Available TBC 2010" and the Blue 3DS is "Available TBC 2011."

bah u beat me, i was going to bring this to their attention, my fault for slow email reading i guess

 

[Anakir]

I'd still probably buy one.

 

[Feels Good Man]

You have to remember guys that this is just a price estimate.

In probably wont even cost that much.

I payed 249.99 +tax on launch day for the original DS. That was w/o games. Only for the price to drop by 50, 3 month later. I'm expecting the same deal here.

Seriously, there's no way the 3DS is going to be $300 USD, thats a joke, Nintendo hasn't released a price yet and EB Games is already pulling bullshit out of their asses to make bank on preorders. ATTN: THERE'S NO WAY THIS IS THE FINAL PRICE SO CALM DOWN AND WAIT LIKE A WEEK, WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE A REAL PRICE BY THEN!

Calm down, they probably just wanna be on the safe side. If you give EB $300 and the 3DS only ends up being $200, then I'm sure you can get your $100 refund.

As a coupon, to make sure you still buy something from them.

Well duh, I know that, Im just pointing out that people need to read the thread before posting OMG $350 THATZ AMAZINGLY HIGH!!! Not to mention that EB Games shouldnt have estimated the price, they should have just waited for a confirmed price.

I totally called it!

 

[tajio]

If it's going to be £200 or under I'll be buy during the release date.

 

[doeo]

They have it on Play-Asia somewhere.
Yea, here: Link.
Well, not pre-orders yet.
More like a pre-pre-order.
yay.

 

[Devin]

Hm....At the most I'd say it would cost $250's. It would only cost $300's if it had a built in 3D Flux Capacitor.

If it doesnt have one, I will put one of my spares in. Reaching 3D in the past at 88 miles an hour.

Just to reiterate

1) It's an estimate
2) Australian dollars, not US dollars
3) Australia is an expensive place to buy games.

Look, here's a Xbox 360 slim pre-order page on the same site. 449AUD.
http://www.ebgames.com.au/xbox360-150845-X...onsole-Xbox-360

So that means, after converting the currency, that the 360 slim is £260 in the UK and $390 in the US, right? No.

So untwist your panties and chill the fuck out.

Seriously, someone edit the title and OP. I know this is a site with an international community but don't just post some information that only pertains to your region without providing more detail. Especially when the big quoted picture doesn't specify AUD. But in the end, it does note it's an estimate.

But on another note, I'd probably buy it if $300 USD. Highly unlikely it is though
