If they do what I think they will do with it, I would be willing to pay 399$ for the 3G version blindfolded. More than that will depends on the line-up, I might wait. Im still grabbing a 3DS on release day anyway. Might resell it later on depending on the NGP and 3DS line up.


I have no intention of paying extra for the 3G version, unless that one also has larger onboard memory. 3G is useless to me. It's just used for the web-browsing and such, and I can do that much easier and more portably on my Android. 

Well 3G would be good for online games on the go.

I don't know why they didn't just go and put 4G in it though.


No it's not acceptable for online gaming and that's why Sony isn't using it for online gaming. Your ping would be 300-400ms. That's a very noticeable lag. It would also use way more data than the 3G networks are used to handling.

To clarify: A lot of people seem to believe the 3G will be used for online multiplayer. All signs say this is not the case, or Sony would have advertised it as the case. It appears the 3G is just for social networking and internet services. And Sony is right to do this. Trust me, you don't want to play online over 3G. It will not go well. 

Oh well in that case 3G is a rather worthless feature...especially if you already have a smart phone.

250 is the price I would pay if the line-up was AMAZING. Otherwise 200 or less.


You'll just have to wait until 2013. Maybe I'll do the same.


'm cool with that. When I buy it then so many games will be cheap!

$300.

I know it will be much higher than that at launch - I'm guessing $400-450. But a handheld, even a fantastic handheld like the NGP, is only worth so much for me.

Do note that I'd like a proper exchange rate this time, which is probably too much to ask. It's actually £190, but I'd be happy with £200 or even £210 because of taxes and such.

$400 max. That's the most I've ever paid for a mobile device, I don't expect to spend more than that on one anytime soon.

...really? What device was $400 then? Just out of curiosity...


I'm pretty sure my HTC EVO was $400, I did get $100 rebate back though...I no longer have that phone, though. :P

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

Is that really a console though? Because I thought that's what you meant

Otherwise my phone would be in that region as well

If it lives up to all of my expectations, I would be willing to pay $499.99 tax.

Assuming it won't live up to my expectations...$399.99 tax.

So yea, I am getting this day one.

Haha, its not a console. I was just saying that I wouldn't pay over $400 for a mobile/portable device. When the price gets over that, I feel like...I might as well buy a laptop or something, lol.

Are you willing to pay an extra $50-$100 for your device plus potentially another $10 a month 3G service fee to download games on the go? Personally I'd rather just wait till I get home... or pull into a Starbucks or McDonalds for 10 minutes. For that matter download these undoubtedly massive high resolution games would take 24 hours over 3G anyway.
