Is gaming in Japan really that much more expensive than in America? If the system launches for 299 in America would you buy it? If it launches for 249 and the PSP2 does the same which will you buy?

Yes I was expecting the 3DS to launch for 275CDN, so an extra 25$ wouldn't break me. Sure I'd be a tad dissapointed but in the end its about quality. I think the fact that at E3 Nintendo said to expect software prices to remain the same as the DS 39.99$ a game that is tremendous value. I'll be getting my 3DS and a hand full of games at launch. I'm betting the console and games will probubly set me back about 500$.

If the PSP2 launches at the same price will I buy it?

This depends on the PSP2's features. If it was fully backwards compatable, touch screen enabled , At least as powerful as the 360. Cheaper software then the origional, NetFlix enabled. Then I would buy it at launch for 300$. But fact is Sony is just known for subpar quality when it comes to their products, it would take alot of features like those listed above to get me to purchase a PSP2.

News to me...for me their HW has always been top quality, sw too...

anywho I actually think now we might hear more about psp2 as well...good times for handheld gamers :)
