If put real simple

AUD 350 vs USD 250 RRP

Quote:
 
The Nintendo 3DS will be launched in Australia on March 31 for $349.95.

Nintendo announced the price and release date for the highly anticipated new handheld at a Sydney media event last night. The console will initially be available in blue and black.



Above or below expectations?


Unfair or just enough to buy and grumble about or quite happy?

Im looking at this topic think "its going to be about $100 more, just cause its Australian."
I think that Aussies get ripped off in almost every product that isnt made in Australia and only in Australia.

Still, i will just order from Amazon. :)

Because its Australia.
Its an island, its harder to set up servers i suspect, there are less people in Australia, therefore it is harder for them to make a lot of money.

Still, the 3DS is most likely to be worth whatever price its for.

its not just that, its because shipping to australia is quite expensive, and the region lock here would be even more...

This discussion on aussies getting ripped off for gaming isn't a new one! We have always paid a premium on hardware and software over our US counterparts. The 3DS launching at $350 here was $50 better than most expected so I guess it isn't as bad as it could have been!

alpha you do realise that the 3DS is backward compatible with the DS right?

i suggest you do get one, preferably during boxing day sales, as it isn't just gaming handheld... it can play 3d movies, take 3d pictures, make mii's from photo's, buy stuff off the store etc etc

old ds is crap anyways, even though the games pwnd all

and im sure the mario kart wifi will be that same lol

also i just found out that the 3DS is more expensive in the UK, selling at around US$370 (which is bout the same here)
