Well I for one am glad I canceled my AUS N3DS order on play-asia, price would have been outrageous with mandatory fedex and custom fees.
Luckily I had a friend with a relative in Australia who was coming back mid-december and got a system for 25-30€ less than what it'll sell on feb 13 in Europe.
(got a Gateway around the same time, would have been much cheaper shipped from china than spain, but at the time I thought n3DS would be supported before xmas, what a fool I was lol)
That being said, I never owned a 3DS system myself, my DSLite broke a long time ago, and wait has been long since that november POC video... (I got Snake Eater 3D for header dumping purpose, could play it, but somehow didn't care much for it (I like MGS3 as much as the next guy, don't get me wrong lol)
Thankfully I'm still in the middle of playing Bayonetta 2 (just finished1 even though I 1000/1000 it on 360 back in the day) on Wii U (got it 2nd hand after xmas for cheap), replaying SoTC HD on PS3, Puppateer, Link's Awakening on Android and some other stuff, so I'm good.
TL;DR : glad I didn't import with crazy prices asked online, feeling bad for those here who did; CHOOOCHOOO HYPE TRAIN, it'll get there when it get there, Gateway, to me, is clearly focusing on EU/US N3DS release, they don't really care about us :|
