Well as long as you can get it for $250 it's a decent price, just buy online. EU price sucks regardless.

What? I was talking about Americans buying. They get an ok price as long as they can get it for 250 from anywhere, while EU price appears to suck regardless.

I am not getting the 3DS on launch anyways.

Way too many games I have yet to buy on my good old DSphat.

2011 will be DS games buying spree, my Wii collection is healthy enough.

Thank you Leo, great thread. As of page 5 and on it was a disaster though.

$250 is a lot though, a week after my birthday... I'll think about it.

I just saw the lineup video from Nintendo, damn I lot of those look like crap. Is there really a Dinosaur fighting game, lol. Resident Evil looks like its on a different system, I dont understand it. Most of the games in that clip still looked like crappy blocky 64 but era graphics, then RE gets shown and its like a less powerful PS3. What kind of devilry is Capcom working with.

"Under Australian law, I have to pay GST on any inbound shipments that exceed $1,000 AUD in value. So I always make sure I am under that when I have my bundle sent to me."


Lol, tax evader! $999 imports? WinkWink

I got burnt *once* and learnt my lesson.  $300 down the drain.  Now my shipments are usually in the $400 range.

I believe they're wanting to add GST to smaller imports. FFS if that happens.

I know the retailers association was campaigning for that but Treasury came back saying they had prior studied the matter and that it would cost more to implement than the revenue it would generate.  Prime Minister Gillard has also said publically it is a non-starter.  (Can you tell I've followed this topic?).
