So, the recharge-cradle thing's included with the system, then? Awesome.

I hope it also includes a simple charging cable, because if you want to charge it and play at the same time you're fucked with that cradle..

Actually, it was a big disappointment to see the cradle as part of the default package for me.  Not only do I not want to have it in the cradle when I'm playing off of Ac, but I also don't want to pay for functionality I don't need and probably won't use.  I don't know how much it jacks up the price, but it sounds like an accessory that'd sell for $20-30 and it's raising the price that much it's a shame.

And I'm boggled. How the hell does the console charges if in the video people just put it over the cradle? Wireless battery recharge?

Honestly I think there's more packed in 3DS that people actually may use, but I think it is Nintendo intention to release a pricey system, because it will sell no matter what, so it would better have some cool stuff packed in.

I predict the price will fall for 199€ once PSP2 is out, alongside a 99€ pricetag for DSi...
