Hi, and to all these people saying that they're going to wait until price drops... won't that be a long time? I mean, quite a lot of months? Just wondering if people could post their opinions on how long it will take...
If it does, they'll just have to wait until then; it's whatev'. We have no idea if/when the price will drop, though generally that happens once a new iteration of the handheld in question is released.

The price is too damn high. And I'm sorry but the graphics are not to drool over, and I can do without 3D gameplay. Not even if it's 200 I think I'll buy it. I don't think there will be a price drop anytime soon, Maybe for the holidays but I highly doubt it.
It won't drop until the holidays or until the next version releases. Even then, chances are that it won't drop for awhile. 3DS preorders are ALREADY SOLD OUT in Japan D:
Did you hear that? Did you? It was a child's stomach growling. Their parents bought them a 3DS and then realized they had no money for food! Why? Because the price is TOO damn high!

Correct Syd-Valak. It will be a while before they take the price down. The price to me is good where it is at with all the features you get with the 3ds. Apparently the price doesn't matter overseas because Japan is sold out of preorders of the 3ds from what ign says.
They won't lower the price if they are still selling the console well. It just depends on how many people are willing to buy it at $250.
Beyond that, Nintendo doesn't want to sell it at a loss, so it will depend on how quickly production/equipment costs lower. The only time you'd be guaranteed to see a price drop is when the 3DS Lite or whatever they call the next iteration of it comes out. Given the DS's history...that'll probably be in about 2 years.
I am way too lazy to think of something clever. My Backloggery
But a Price drop will only happen if it dosen't get good Sells. It already sold out in Japan.....so a Price drop it not coming any time soon....
For you, the day LordJumpMad graced your threads, was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday. [url=http://www.backloggery.com/jumpmad]Unive...
Hmm, according to my super-accurate machine of speculation, I'm going to say when the universe implodes. See ya at the end of all time!

I think the demand is going to be too high for them to even conceive of lowering the price in NA till after x-mas 2011. I think there will be shortages in NA because of the cheaper price, and Nintendo will be more motivated to meet demand in Europe/Japan instead. I wouldn't count on a price drop any time soon.
Gosh grow up. What are you idiots? My thoughts are that the price won't drop. It will come out soon and a price drop would be too early. You could see if they have bundle or something. You would get more for your money.
Souls are for the weak. I flow with the darkness on the pathway of depression.

Harsh, blunt but true. Using my Christmas money to gradually pay off the system and now that I just got hired for a job, money won't be too much of an issue.
Wait, wait wait... Do any of you have jobs?? Because if you're complaining about not being able to afford it at this time- or it's just you think it's too high (realistically, the price is right), then you may be better off looking for a job. I've taken a year to look and finally got one (excited!).
If you're complaining and don't have a job and are OLD enough and should have a job, then start looking. You can also start paying some bills and help around- but that's off topic.
If you're complaining and DO have a job- well, it's your money. Wait for 2-3 years for the price drop if the 3DS is a great success. Because it took 2 years for the DS to get a price drop (what, $20-30 dollars off?). Maybe set some money aside while you wait. Many options, y'know.
I hope they don't release another 3DS variation... for a long long time. 3DS Lite won't ever exist, because this 3DS has 5 light settings. 3DSi, it will have internet and browsers in an update shortly after it's release, and 3DS XL... might be kinda cool... so maybe. 3D video is just a software update, and hopefully new features that they plan to add to the 3DS are just software updates.
So I really wouldn't count on seeing a new variation too soon, unless a new hardware upgrade can greatly assist the machine, like a better 3D screen on the 3DS to help with the very small 3D sweet spot.
I think the next or third revision will have better cameras and obviously longer lasting batteries. I'll get it even though I'm getting THIS 3DS.

Fo' sho'
It is possible to have a new battery released with a higher MaH ((I think that's what it's called)), so the battery can be released without having a whole new 3DS with it.
Depending on how popular the cameras are in games and with the AR cards, we might see a new set of cameras, but then if those cameras are needed specifically for games, then people will have to buy the newer version of the 3DS... so that might become a problem.
Well, we'll see if Nintendo pushes ARGames, since it kinda reminds me of e-Reader: a cool idea that didn't take off. Things change, so hopefully they'll stick with it through and through.
Also, I don't think the new cameras would have exclusive games for it. I mean, I just don't see a real point unless it has cool x-ray and nightvision modes but then the 3DS SP would cost more than less haha
But seriously, I doubt we would need to buy the 3DS SP just because certain ARGames need the camera. I mean, the camera the 3DS comes with is fine and decent from what I can see. A 3-5MP camera would be sweet though.
