DS available for preorder at $199

EBGames and Gamestop are taking DS pre-orders at a price of $199. They have listed a speculated ship date of November 29th 2004. If the DS goes for $149 customers will be refunded the extra $50.

hmm. wow. slightly expensive for that one. i'd expect that price for the PSP. 100 to 150 for this.

i think this will indeed drop to 150 by the time it comes out. thats just too much for thier market they're aiming at.

Meh. I'm placing the PSP around $250 myself. But I agree about the DS; I'm hoping it's sold at $150.

Interesting. Didn't expect $200 off the bat. I'd definitely want it to drop down to $150 for launch. Or I will just wait until it gets a little cheaper after launch.

I say it costs 130-150 at launch... And EBgames wouldn't have to refund the cost, because they don't even charge you card until it ships, meaning when they confirm the price it'll just change...

Interesting. I'm going with everyone else still that its gonna be $149.99. $199.99 is a wee bit too much for me for the DS.

Since the price is so high, I don't need to preorder becuase most kids can't afford a portable gaming machine that costs that much, so I think I'll purchase one from the retailer of my choice on the day it comes out.

You've been saying some of the oddest things lately.
