This is consol price for a hand held system. I shudder to think of the price of the Wii's successor. 550? 750? And their justification: It's in 3D.
Well, not getting my money. This is why we're in a recession. People throwing away too much money. If people'd just refuse to buy, it'd drop down to 90, just like the original Game Boy was. if people buy left and right, expect Nintendo to jack up their prices from here on out.
And Amazon's price is sans tax/shipping. Shipping would be free, but taxes would apply, I'd wager.
