$180's a bit much, but if it launches with the games that have me hyped for it, then I'll snatch it up. November...wow, so soon, yet so far away.

So is anybody taking actually pre-orders yet?Quote:

Yeah, $150 would be a perfect price for it. I can't help but shake this Saturn launch vibe I'm getting from it though. I REALLY hope I'm wrong about that.
$150 would still be too expensive. :/
... And I still don't see any good reason to buy a DS, no matter what price they put it at. God dammit, Nintendo. :S
I really don't believe this news, though. There's no way, after the meager handful of demos shown at E3, that this thing is ready to launch so soon. I can't fathom a respectable number of titles will be finished and completely localized by this time. Not to mention the total abscence of marketing and preorder info this close to it's rumored launch. I could maybe see that 'surprise' approach for a game, but not for a system.
Not good, I'm afraid.Quote:

That said, $250+ for PSP is even worse, reeking of the N-Gage launch. If they don't get the price down in a reasonable time, I think it'll be another niche system- even with Sony's illustrious name on it. 3DO Pocket? This is the closest thing launchpricewise.
I love how the 3DO flew off the shelves with a $700 price tag. :rolleyes:
I'll wait til it's $100
Good answer. That's what I'll be doing. The DS starting lineup doesn't really make me want to throw down almost two Franklins.Quote:
