3DS is $299 to much?

[cAPSLOCK]

Anything beyond $199 is too much.  If it's $300 they basically PS3'd the 3DS. $250 is still asking too much, but it doesn't have the same mental punch in the balls as $300.

Unless the 3DS is your only system (seeing it as replacing the home console), then the lines blur quite a bit and make it worth it.
