Just as the topic says. Today I went to my local EBGames and asked the same question I have once a week since E3, apparently the release date is March 20th 2011. Now I asked the lady if their is a limit to how many pre-orders will be accepted. She told me such a limit was not in place to her knowledge but said if I knew anyone who wanted one I better tell them to pre-order one quick.

So I just thought I'd give everyone the heads up. For 50$ down you can ensure you'll have a 3DS right at launch.

Who's all pre-ordering one? Did your EBgames give you different info?

Oh sorry I forgot to mention that this is EBGames Canada!

Pity I have something against EB games, and show this by not purchasing a thing from them. 

w00t. Hopefully it's true, and if so it's just in time for before i strike off for Japan

pre-ordering this on Thursday

Can anybody confirm if GameStop/EBGames America are taking pre-orders? I bet theirs alot of American's who are itching to know this!

Checked today while i was picking up a job application. No.

Wow we actually get something before America. Thats awsome well for us Canadian's. I'm sure America can't be far behind I mean if Nintendo Of Canada can give out SKU's and tell EBGames Canada that there will be plenty of units to pre-order then America will not be far behind!

Im so crazy about the 3ds that i thinking about importing one from japan as soon as it comes out.

Erm did they have price ?

300CDN. But as others pointed out EBGames does tend to set their own prices for pre-orders. So that is probubly not the final price.
