Whoa.I knew that it was going to be in the $199+ range,but really,$250,for a handheld?I'd much rather put that amount of cash towards an iPod Touch,or some other smartphone-like device--or,for that matter,a 360.
I suppose that Nintendo hopes that it will be just another GBC to GBA and GBA to DS type deal and people will make the jump;however,this time,I'll definitely think twice about it,unlike the last time(s).

To be fair, all demos, videos, etc indicate that it is, BY FAR, the most advanced handheld system of all time.
And to be honest, people will buy this, though the selection of launch titles will likely push the big explosion of sales until the big titles (OoT remake, Starfox remake, and the Kid Icarus sequel, being the big ones) are released.
The games+the technology make it worth the price.
Though I am concerned about the price of the games.
I'm okay with spending $250 on an amazing do it all product that plays games, but if I'm going to buy handheld games, I like to limit the price to around $40 per game, max.
The reason being that handhelds, more than any other type of system, NEED variety, or they may get boring.

seems retailers here are pricing 3ds games at £30 (which is standard price for DS games) and apparently USA retailers between $30-40

Yea, I'll buy one of these.

$250 may seem like it's a little steep at first, but honestly for what you are getting it seems like a pretty awesome deal to me. I just wish it was a little bit more backwards compatible. My GBC is getting old....

Well, there's always the downloadable versions of several of the more popular Game Boy/Game Boy Color on the Nintendo Store.

Yea, i know. That will be okay, it's just slightly annoying when you have to redownload a game you already own.

It's time for this to launch!
I was more excited back when I could afford it a few months ago, and when I was expecting better launch titles, but whatever :P
