I really don't give a crap about Zelda, just hope they detail the American 3DS bundle, and finally announce a pricetag and launch date for it. I'm hoping it'll be fiscal 2011 (April Fool's Day or later) and cost 250USD for a barebaones model (no charging dock or SD cards)

I don't think there will be (at least initially) a model without a charging station. I do hope the cheapest option is no more than $250 though.

I had read that it was delayed to "early 2011". Or did I imagine that?

EDIT: From the Wikipedia article: At Nintendo's coinciding press conference in June 2010, it was announced that the subtitle was Skyward Sword and that the game would be delayed until 2011,[2] though the team is still aiming for a release early that year

In this interview Aonuma states they're hoping for early 2011 as a release date, though the official release date is just "2011", so I guess it can't officially be pushed back.

That means nothing considering early this year we were told they were aiming for a holiday release.

My guess would be $250 tops, and at least $200. I also doubt that there will be a "barebones" type of bundle. Btw my pricing was based on what I think it will be in the USA. I personally will not be getting the 3ds. I am waiting to see what the psp2 is going to offer before comitting to the 3ds, although that Paper Mario game looks enticing.

For some reason, I'm thinking the charging dock will be like 20 or 30 bux standalone and the basic 3ds sku will come with a no more than an adapter cable and a few demoes.

Anyone else get the feeling Zelda is going to be pushed back to the end of next year?

I've been calling that one for a while. Early half of the year is too crowded with 3DS stuff, and Zelda would work far better as a holiday heavy-hitter
