I'm guessing the price would be between 179 - 199 USD at launch... Though it will NEVER go beyond 199.
Seeing how the DS launched at 149 USD and DSi at 169 USD with all the added techs and stuff to the 3DS, it'll most likely be 199 (623.70MYR).

So in our currency it will be approximately 561.33 - 623.70

Quite cheap if  you ask me... But since we don't have official releases in our country and have to pay shippings and rates.. well... 800MYR for a new unit?

Just speculations, still 2 weeks from 29th and I can't stop shaking my knee right now... >.>

Anyway, gotta save up now. Better to ask someone you know over at the states and ask them to buy. Could save a little.

Really?...nice going Bolehland >.>
I gotta save more NAO!!!

But yeah... 800 might be too low
Heck I bought my 1st gen DS for 999 >.> (rip off shop)

But Wii launch price is 250$... 50$ more that the expected price of 3DS. So I doubt it will go over 999.

guys...dont get 3DS just yet...
got texas instruments OMAP4 phones coming out next year...just google and youtube for it.

it can do all the 3DS can do better, and its a phone
stereoscopic 3D?
dual screen interface?
all same features.

20mp camera, 1ghz processor, full hd, multi OS compatible, among others

if 3DS is analogized by the console counter part, its a Wii
and the OMAP4 phone is PS3/360

OMAP4 is mobile phone and handheld gaming on one device.
only advantage of 3DS over OMAP4 is nintendo exclusive titles, and OMAP4 maybe available only q3-q4 2011.
currently NOKIA and LG got their hands on the chip...other company sure will follow suit later.

on other note...can harmful programs also auto install into our 3DS? u know, steal personal info, cc details etc...since update can go into auto mode...can false update also do that?

Or in other words, a virus. As far we can remember, there were modifications to consoles, but never a real virus to the OS of the consoles.

Viruses have hit PCs, phones. But I can't say for sure a virus would be created for such a console. But it would be true that only through a secure channel (or actually, through SD cards also) that it is possible for the bypass of the security.

Well, flashed SD cards anyone?

I didn't mean the update mechanism on this one (n not for updating purpose only)...from the 3DS ad we can see other users can 'interact' with us just by passing by or sit close enough to us to share game stats. initiate a passive gaming session n so on. What if someone develop these passive apps (via homebrew etc) to steal our personal information too?

Just by passing by us, they can read or extract our information.

yeah,our PM DS got stolen a while back.
by the way,news.

MGS3DS will also support SpotPass.

ha but i think i read somewhere that i theres special feature for pokemon white in 3DS? or am i wrong?..

Anyway I think I'll wait a  bit to  see which game has excellent replay value...

tehe... too bad love plus 3d is not available in english... isn't it... I could use some escape from reality...

That's actually pretty cool! I hope those sort of features trickle into other 3DS games - ones where I wouldn't be too embarrassed to play. I mean being 30-year-old pokemon player on a crowded komuter train is pretty embarrassing already, but this... too much.

I interpret that sentence as asking are you Japanese or not (or will you have a Japanese 3DS or not), cos it is highly likely the 3DS will have region locking.

If you really want to play LovePlus so much, consider getting a Japanese 3DS... or wait until someone hacks a region unlocking solution

I feel it will the ULTIMATE burn one day you open your 3DS, and your own Love+ girl just looks at you and says: "DA RE?"

Not judging you, but if I were to do THAT, my wife and daughter would probably disown me. Just sayin'

I wasn't implying you had a wife and daughter. I was implying I have a wife and daughter. Real ones.

Dude. It's pretty obvious you have neither. And I say that with no insult or negativity intended.

i tot both pokemon black/white n love++ is ndsi enchance?

anyone buying the JP edition? where to preorder?

I will get a US one ... but will wait for Special Edition with Pokemon game ... hope no need wait too long
