Just wondering how much DS and it's games are expected to cost, as I may feel 'forced' ;) to buy one if it's not too much.
Are we gonna have to pay £30 a game like with GBA again? :(

Precisely, so if Sony go for 1 £200 tag, Nintendo can get away with £150 for the DS - and they most probably will do that.

They really want to compete with sony this time
Nintendo will price the DS in accordance to how much they think Sony will price the PSP.
It's the games that sell the hardware, so i'd rather the DS was 149.99 and the games about 10.00.

Not if they want to compete with the PSP.
If PSP price looks set for £150 I predice the DS will be £99

Seems mapped out then. British retailers are rip-offs.
I probably won't get a DS until I go to work in the US next year, so I'll probbaly buy one game to play on the way there, then buy loads of games whilst I'm there.
I expect the price to be about 100 quid though.
If it's more than that, I'll suffer on teh way to the US so that I can get one cheaper there.
And I won't have to pay duty or anything - no-one will know I bought it there.

It'll be £99.99 or £129.99 I think.
I can't see it being any more or less.

My Nintendo buddy says that it should debut in the UK for around £119.99.
This could lower or rise depending on the usual Tax/Exchange Rate fluctuations.
It's not a VERY bad price, but still over $200 when compared to the US's $149.99.
That is a disgrace.
We pay more for things in this country because not enough people complain about high prices.
Chances are Nintendo will sell it at £120, but £99.99 has a nice ring to it, and for something that looks like a new Gameboy, they might settle for that price.
