Anyone complaining about the price point of the DS is insane. Think about it: a brand new, revolutionary system with never before seen console technology, being sold for the price of an Xbox or PS2. That's pretty darn good if you ask me.

Why are we talking about consoles? This is a handheld. It's not meant to compete with consoles/PC for playing at home. Obviously, if you're not going to need a handheld much, you won't need to buy it. C'mon, people, it's not rocket science.

Or maybe he, like just about everyone else I know, has decidede that there's no point in playing a first person shooter if turning around takes longer than just dying and respawning.
About £85, actually. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'd have thought it would be more expensive than that, though. The GBA SP, with no games, is ~£80. I think ~£150 is a fair estimate.
I can't wait. My GBA makes the 2+ hours I spend in transit per weekday so much more bearable. Fire Emblem, Advance Wars 1 and 2, Final Fantasy Tactics, Mr.Driller 2, I love you all so very <b>very</b> much.
Why are we talking about consoles? This is a handheld. It's not meant to compete with consoles/PC for playing at home. Obviously, if you're not going to need a handheld much, you won't need to buy it. C'mon, people, it's not rocket science.

December comes out quicker in Japan. By the time we're at November, it'll be January in Japan.

What i meant was that $150 = £85. When it comes out over here, it will probably be around £150, at a complete guess.

Exactly
Considering Console games are ~$50 in the US and £40($27) in the UK
I'd guess arounf £100-120
P.S. Mario Sunshine = win
