If I had to guess right now. I would say I would predict a price of 179.99. I am only basing this off speculation. I also think the DSi XL is an experiment on cost. To see how much people would pay for a portable without risking a whole new line in. IE if it failed like the GBA micro then they wouldn't price that high. It could potential be as high as 199 with the DSi XL taking to the bargain bins at 149 and lite at 99.

As for the price of the screens I can see Nintendo using its good business relationship with Sharp+ pointing out the mass sales of the original DS to engage a long term contract that would start out with Sharp selling at a loss but turning a profit by the end of the contract.

I am going to say 229$, would you like to make it a bet? We can negotiate terms later. This way, we have some kind of conclusion to this mess and is related to the topic at hand. ??

No problem. I do think it will be under 199. For starters my understanding of the tech means only additional layer is required either the lenticular lenses or the barrier methods. Their doesn't appear to be any exotic materials involved so the key is just mass production of the layers and and adding them to an IPS screen which can be had for cheap at this size now. All right. Game On.
