The 3DS is cool and all...

...but $300 for a handheld system?

Eh, I don't know about all that noise, now.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata confirmed that the 3DS will go on sale on February 26, 2011, in Japan for ¥25,000 ($299). The console's US and European launch will follow a month later in March, but no price details were given by Nintendo for those regions, with the publisher saying these announcements would be made later by the company's overseas branches.

I agree, handhelds and high prices don't match. They only way Sony could save the PSP now is to turn it into a phone.

Which is what they're doing. And I still don't think it'll work.

[Razzy]

Probably not. If they had gotten around to it a year earlier maybe, but the smart-phone market is pretty competitive now.

I just don't see why people would want to put UMD's into their Droid

[mmmbeans]

they don't use UMDs anymore I don't think.
