Temujin said:First of all, it's not official, but I'm guessing it won't be much cheaper than 180€.
People seem to forget that the GBA launched at 130€, and it was 99$ in the US right? So now the DS could be 180€, since the US price is 150$. I'm probably over-simplifying it, but who knows.
And I really can't see the PSP launch under 250€...
iapetus said:So it's cheaper to import, there's no region coding, and you can get the system five months earlier by getting it shipped from the US or Canada? And you don't even need a step-down converter, because you can just use your old GBA SP charger?
How on earth does Nintendo expect anyone to be stupid enough to buy one of these?

Good thing I already preordered an Import.

Do I understand this right: I can use my 220 Volt European GBA SP charger with an American DS ?iapetus said:So it's cheaper to import, there's no region coding, and you can get the system five months earlier by getting it shipped from the US or Canada?

well not quite true. Xbox is pretty cheap here in EU, as is GCN. PS2 seems to hold its price bit better.SantaCruZer said:I live in Europe, and everything in gaming is a rip off here. I will buy my electronics from the US as I always do. Including the NDS.
Thanks for the confirmation.mrklaw said:yes. Or buy a 220V asian DS with UK plug and have a spare charger.
Project Midway said:I think play-asia, lik-sang etc sell japanese consoles also with european plugs. UK'ers just want to be different from the rest of EU. :lol![]()

DeEJaYMiND said:And Fuck You too Sony and Microsoft. I find it amusing that everyone is pissed about Nintendo prices and NO ONE is telling anything about console prices in Europe for PS2 or XBOX. And let's not tall about game releases in general... at least Nintendo launched in Europe first the amazing Zelda Minish Cap...
It's all a sneaky plan to inflate NPD and Media Create numbers.callous said:So, Nintendo wants me to import it? Ok. Not a problem.
