3DS Preorders Avaliable

[T3GZdev]

wow $348 for 3DS, but that appear in Australia.
it shows,
DSi XL there $298, here in america $189 for DSi XL.
DSi there for $248, but in america its $169.
DS Light there is $197, but here in america its $129.

according to those differences, here in america im seeing like $228 - $248?

The US gamestop/ebgames site don't show the 3DS at all. Google search doesn't list any place to preorder. I would like a source and links to where you found pre-orders. They're most likely scams to steal your money.

i wouldn't pay more than 150 and that's including taxes.

Gosh all you Americans complaining its is expensive well you get all console cheap their in America here in Australia everything is expensive the ps3's launch price here was $1000 dollar's. $350 is only $50 more dollars then the dsi launch price. Importing stuff is cheap from America ps3 games here cost heaps brand new ps3 games cost $90-120 dollars in Australia in America it can be anything fro $30-70. Most of you didn't notice this is the Australian price and that estimate is right or it will cost even more trust me every here cost heaps and you get everything before us like super smash bros brawl you got it us a year before us like a year and months but i bought it for $120 dollars here in Australia with a freeloader but only got it like 1 year after still got it 3 months before release date here. you people get games we never get and i want then like monster rancher ps2 we only got one of them like out of 4 for the ps2. The 3ds in america will be $250 or less.

i think i'll end up buying the US 3DS and import all the games off ebay

I'm hoping this is just a wild guess on their part.

It is. Nintendo didn't even say the price yet. :/ If they did, we would know by now.

i wouldn't pay more than 150 and that's including taxes.No 3DS for you then. It's guaranteed to be at least $160 (because it can't be cheaper than the DSi...)

Seriously... there is a source/link. It's the Australian Gamestop.

Why would you want to preorder the Australian 3DS :\

 

[devilguy370]

the austrailian gamestop is just a shack made from sticks

 

[YayMii]

Because maybe you live in Australia?

But in all seriousness though, this still sounds like a correct price for Australia. About $50 more than the DSi.

 

[PikaPerson01]

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.

£199 delivered in the UK

$299 in the US

So untwist your panties and chill the fuck out.

I SERIOUSLY think this information should be posted on the first post.

I mean, unless you noticed the tiny .au in the banner or in your link you may think it's the actual final price for an American Nintendo 3DS. I mean, I know it's woefully ignorant to assume we yanks are the center of the universe or to assume only Americans visit this site but saying 348 without the context that it's Australian Dollars or without the background knowledge that Australia's an expensive place to play games is rather... disingenuous.

Well i preordered my 3ds instore at EB a few days ago. because i could, and i live in tasmania. which is too small. anyway, they only ask for a $10 deposit.

its probably only 10$ deposit because they arent even sure of a release date normally preorders on consoles/handhelds are $50 and games are $5...i think EB games is just looking for a way to put peoples money in their pockets now instead of later.

why can't DSI drop in price?

 

[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.

No. So you can flux in 3D.

I'm getting a 3DS regardless of the price. (As long as its not over $500's)

 

[shakirmoledina]

oh well we will have to play on an emu before the price decreases by like 50$
it is definitely priced as it should be since the tech is new and so is the console
lol i remember seeing on ebay that one guy bought the ps3 before its release date for 10k$... and the offer ended
