I doubt this is genuine but it would be awesome. By the way, what they meant with "The 3G version will also come with some extra pre-loaded applications which will make use of the 3G capabilities such as Augmented Reality."?

What augmented reality has to do with 3G?

Exactly.

You need a 3G connection to be able to bring in maps on the fly.

That could be it.

LIES. But if it is 250 3ds is going to get destroyed.

thats what it says $250 and $299?  lol yea right

and no not going to click on links.   not goign to give people my views

but i'm sorry its impossible to believe that the NGP based on what i have seen that it can be as cheap as $250.  What did the PSP's come out as?  how much was the PSP Go when released not to long ago?  So please tell me then how they can sell this for $250?  What are they planning on losing a fortune for each system sold?

So basically what you're saying is that NGP is going to cost more for Sony to manufacture than a PS3 despite having lower specs, significantly less hardware material, and being much smaller and cheaper to ship in mass quantities.

It sounds to me like you simply aren't familiar with how much things cost.

quick though process.  the psp go came out what $250?

is that not smaller by a long shot than this?  is that not WAY behind in features and graphics and touch screens and you name it? 

and that was not too long ago at all.  i would laugh my ass off if this came out at $250.

how abotu we also look at sony's track record.  Not ONE system has ever came out for less than $300 when first released.  With seeing how all tech sites seem to be wanting to throw teh ngp the tech award of the year already, how can you honestly believe that this amazing piece of hardware will be their cheapest system EVER.

Oh and lets not ignore Sony as a corporation.  EVERY single product they have is the expensive product.  They are never the mass market priced.  Their TV's, Stereos, you name it are always the upper end priced ones. 

Yeah for example that $100 PS2 is so premium ;) Or those $10 PSP essential games.

I won't even comment on your PSP go arguments. It's too hilarous to waste my time.

Well seeing that the Xperia Play is even more expensive then a PS3.. at launch.. I wouldn't get my hopes up.. or  Sony will take one for us and lose a lot of money which is fine with me..

What augmented reality has to do with 3G?


things like geo tagging come under augmented reality and the feature is no good without internet.

the markets are different.

gamers look for good value while most people buying smartphones are happy to pay inflated prices for some odd reason.

If that's true, I might get the 3G NGP model instead.

Hmm thx, but if you have a hot spot access for Wi-Fi, then it would be the same, right?

If it's the same price as a 3DS with 250$, then this could become interesting.

This would be great for us consumers. :)
