[Codename 47]

What's the prize on offer?

I'm going for...March 11th and a launch price of £189.99 and included will be a playable demo of...Mario Kart.

[Uppa]

It's kind of stirring to think that the European launch date might have been mentioned in this thread, even if it is but a guess.

I think they're going to do something with the release-date as a consequence of Pokémon's release. But I don't know what the consequence will be.

4th March. £249.99.

[melatonin]

March 18th, £219.99.

[Harry Bizzle]

This just in; the 3DS will cost £4 million.

[Christopher]

March 18th, £219.99.

[Tineash]

April 10th £199.99 with no games.

[Iron Nan]

£200+ is just too much, I didn't pay that much for any console I've bought to date.

I am pretty sure Nintendo won't include the cradle as standard for the UK and with the VAT Rise it gives them an excuse to bump it up a bit more so £229.99 is pretty much the lowest price it will be here. We might get a demo if we are lucky.

[rudderless]

March 1st, £249.99.

Could that be an INFORMED guess?

Heh, no. A little educated, perhaps, but I don't actually know anything. In fact, now I think about it, it would seem a bit weird to release it in the same week as Pokémon on the DS. Unless they're all 'here's the new 3DS! But don't worry, normal DS fans, we've got a treat for you with the new Pokémon game!"

And then there are smiley smiles on many smiley faces and everyone smiles apart from Iwata, who just [laughs].

It was the date being on a Monday that made me go "HMMMM?". Shame, I was hoping you had known something as it would be awesome to get it right at the start of March, although not quite so awesome to be paying £250 for the privilege. Getting people into stores for the Pokemon and having a shiny new console sitting right next to it would be a very handy marketing move though.

Feb 1st @ £199.99

[Mr Chips]

Yoyoyo peeps, its coming out just before easter, 15th April to be precise and will be priced at 219.99. Will also come with demo cart and some chat/mii software gooseberry fool.

[HailToTheKingBaby!]

8th March for £214.99 bundled with a demo cart containing a bunch of 3D movie trailers, a couple of Nintendo game demos, some 3D game trailer movies and some novelty gimicky 3D interactive things. First batch will come with a selection of Mario branded novelty condoms.

[Dalagonash]

March 11th for £189.99, that's my two cents.
