uh.... wait. I thought the price of the Nintendo 3DS was going to be $250. Is that only in the US? Is Australia having to pay more than the US, or is it really $350 everywhere? Or am I missing something? i dunno

Nintendo announced the US price is $250, they still haven't announced the Canadian price either. The price is really varied, it's about $300 in Japan, about $280-360 in Europe (depending on the country and store), etc.

The answer to your question is that we will be paying more.  The reason: because it is Australia.  And we get shafted by all companies.

remember it costs allot of money to ship to Australia and they have a high tax rate

$100 on each system? 

And double the price for the games?

Canadian price is $250. Launches day in date with US.

Really? I must must have missed the announcement, I don't recall seeing it posted here.

Honestly, there wasn't much of one. I just noticed it getting priced in Canadian outlets.

Look at Nintendo of Canada's site: http://nintendo.ca/cgi-bin/usersite/display_info.cgi 3DS isn't even on it!

Nintendo of Canada is slower than molasses going uphill in January while on crutches. I'm not surprised.

I say something and they FINALLY add a reference to the 3DS today.

It isn't a dedicated section, it's just something on an ad rotator.

When I was a kid I desperately wanted to live in Australia...but then I learned about their terrible Internet, outrageously overpriced games, and grotesque baby-eating spiders.

Dingos!
