    Yeah 400 is a cutoff. Honestly 300+ is cutoff. I'll pay 300 for it. That's how much I'm expecting it to be.

    I can't freakin' wait for this thing. There are some shitty titles listed for preorder right now, but I'm sure Nintendo will have their own games to tie to launch, and that's what I'm waiting on.

    I also remember hearing rumblings that there were some movie trailers playing at E3 (like How to Train your Dragon), which means some movies might come out. This might only be worth it if it's a digital rental or something, because I doubt 3D Blurays will come with 3DS versions.

    I'll have to test one first - depends if the 3D is any good or not.

    Granted I did here that it was going to be in the $300 range, and anything over that would make me far more skeptical. I just don't think many people take into considering the cost of other portable media devices when they think of a Nintendo handheld.

    As far as the games go, I can't say for sure all that I would get or what will ultimately be at launch, but all the Nintendo 3D remakes are enough for me to need to own it.

    I just hope that it jumps on the bandwagon of having some other features. I'd really like for it to have a video player, or at least music, and possibly a browser. Either way, I'm getting it for the games, but it would be nice (especially with a $300 bucks price tag). Can't wait for Jan19th to get some more info on it.

    It plays 3D Movies, and the DSi already has a browser and music player.

    The really dumb thing is I never touch my DS and I just disconnected Wii to clear some space, but I will STILL buy this thing because it's a shiny new Nintendo toy.

    I predict a launch price of $250. Even if it isn't, I'll be buying it for Legends 3 alone. Anything else is a bonus.

    As long as MGS3D is good then it'll be worth it for me. MGS3 is one of my top three games of all time. $250 is my max for the system alone, if it includes a Nintendo game I might go for $300.

    Link won't work for me at work, any info on if Kingdom Hearts 3D is just a 3D port of the original KH, or a all new game?

    The name is only a working title and I don't see any details on anything in the list.

    I don't know.

    I want one, but I just know they will release some sort of "new and improved" model down the line, possibly with a price drop. And out of all the games on the list Nightrain posted, the only two I'm interested in are Paper Mario and Mario Kart.

    I'll probably wait.

    I wonder why the camera is listed as a product if the system has the camera included.

    It's probably a photo editing game or something, not the actual hardware.
