$299 is pretty reasonable to me but i am pretty well off so i can understand other people having a problem with that price. nintendo probably lost a lot of money by launching at $250 when the market would have obviously payed more for their product. i'm guessing they don't want to make that mistake again as they can easily lower the price in the future.
but anyways, i'm not getting a 3DS at any price so it means nothing to me. I just don't think it's that bad of a price. i mean hell, i'm pretty sure my mom pay $200 for my NES and SNES well the hell back when.

A handheld costing just as much as a regular console is just somewhat insane to me. I can afford it at $299,but it's the principle of the matter to me. If that's the price point,I'll get it in future. lol

Current console/handheld pricepoints in Japan for comparison... this probably gives a good idea of what to expect for America (hint: it won't be $299)...
