Awesome! It's one of the few PSP games I've really wanted, and now I can get an even better version! Sweeeeeet!

There's nothing in the launch that I must play, though paper mario is a good start. Until it gets at least a half dozen RPGs (ports don't count since I can still fire up my SNES if I want to) I can't justify the price. Ultimately id be playing my DSi more, especially with its far superior battery life and the fact that id always have 3D turned off.

i'll be getting both on launch day.

I'll be waiting for 1. price drop, 2. region-free solution, 3. until I catch up on other systems' backlog, 4. a white one probably

I'm gonna wait, or get it for Christmas or something. I'm not rushing to get a handheld this time, I severely regretted it with the Original Ugly Super Phat DS.

I will get the PSP2 at launch, though. :D

This, wtf is Ninty thinking.

Im not gonna wait I already preordered it a week ago (tho ill admit looking at the launch games its like :I wow.... I might buy SSF4 or Dead Or Alive (i loved the 2 game for the ps2).

Wasnt excited about the Phat DS or the DS Lite so I bought me the psp 2000 and DSi later on down the road ( Sorta pumped about psp2 im more pump for FF Dissdia 2)  .

249 price lol its better than what gamestop/ebgames had listed in their systems they thought it be 299. I assumed it was gonna be 249

(Canadian price is also 249 http://www.gamestop.ca/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?Product_ID=307888 )

The battery life spec well meh its not bothering me ill go buy a extra battery or  just whip out my dsi or psp if im traveling. I mostly play my handheld games at home.

Nintendo 3DS Games im pumped for (so far), Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, DOA Dimensions, SSF4 3D Edition, and it would be pretty awesome if the made a portable Smash Bros.

Dude your thinking is dated. Back when the Canadian dollar over took the US dollar in 08 I believe , Nintendo was the first game company to price match with America. When the Canadian dollar fell again Nintendo never changed their new pricing policy. Now our dollar is back on par or above the US dollar and Nintendo sells their software at the same price in Canada as they do in the US.

The days of us Canadian's paying way more are over. Our currency is a force to be reckoned with and the days of having to pay so much more then the US are over.

I also think there's not much weight/size they could shave off. Maybe there will be a version with bigger screens, but that's also questionable.

Only because the DS had 3 revisions doesn't mean the 3DS will have as many.

The 3DS does look kind of thick. Maybe the lite version will make it thinner, but it may be more comfortable with the thicker version.
