When do you think the 3DS price drop will happen? I want one but that $250 price tag is keeping me from getting it. That's just about what I paid for my Xbox! Anyway, when do you guys expect a price drop to happen? If it doesn't happen before Christmas then I guess I'll sell some games to Gamestop but if it has some sort of price drop then I'll get one without selling anything.

The price drop will happen when they come out with the 3DS Pocket~

Few years (1 1/2 to 2) years. $200-$230. If the NGP some how does really well then it will be Christmas.

3DS Pocket the size of a DS lite... That would be awesome!

I think It will drop around the release of the Sony NGP. It seems like a likely place to drop. Posibally by $25-$50. (IMO)

I doubt the price will drop as demand for the device builds momentum.

Yeah, I think sales will have to fall off before there is a price drop, so maybe next spring after they milk all the x-mas shoppers and the cost for the components comes down a bit. I don't think it will be a big price drop, but they'll probably just nudge the price down little by little each year.

VERY VERY VERY VERY slim chance it'll drop $50 by Christmas.

My bet is that'll it'll drop next summer $50.

I have a feeling that the length of the high sales of the 3DS will be no where near as long lasting as the DS without faster hardware revisions or price drops.

I read an interview somewhere where Iwata (I think it was him) claimed he would like to get an 'XL' version out within the next year. That would be a good time for a price drop.

This is a signature.

Highly doubtful there will be one before this Christmas considering it set sales records. I predict a price change in late 2012.

It is the size of the DS Lite. Exactly the same size.

I think at Christmas it will drop to $229, and when the next 3DS comes out it will drop to $199.

Yeah, my Lite's soft protective case fits perfectly on the 3DS, save for a small kink where the 3D slider is. The screens are bigger though ... or the top one, anyway.
