So, it's cool and accepted if Apple releases an iPod touch for $299, but not cool if Nintendo releases a freakin 3D gaming handheld for $249?? Come on now. $249 should be expected and is a VERY fair price for the tech this thing is pushing.

That's what I think too. iPod sells well for that price, just because it's THE mp3 reader for the masses. What Nintendo must do is market 3DS like that and it would sell extremely well even at 250$.

$250 would be the highest it could be without severely limiting the sales. It's not a mass market price for a handheld though, Nintendo wouldn't do that i don't believe. They could easily get away with 25000 yen in Japan though.
