oo 1 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 32800 I read on ign Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I think that is way too expensive for a handheld - it will be interesting to see if they can pull it off with a hefty pricetag like that. Looks like it is getting delayed too - esp in western markets. The machine sure looks good. Link to post Share on other sites
NutteyCubey 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hey look, December 12th, 19800 yen - much cheaper than most people thought http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/10/27/news_6111570.html Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 My my. That is agressive pricing considering the crappy looking DS is 15000 (right?) They must be losing on that big style to get a big foot in the market. It'll still be a complete ripoff over there though Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 So it will probably be $200 then maybe. So that's probably 250 pounds in the uk, lets see. Link to post Share on other sites
KlingKlang 1 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Thats a surprising price point. I bet Nintendo are surprised. One please. Link to post Share on other sites
DrMabuse 0 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Looks like a sweet machine. Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 That should be sweet. So much for the people saying they'd have to charge 50000 yen for the spec its at. That means they might be taking a big blow on each unit just to get the base. Link to post Share on other sites
yarukibanban 0 Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 This little baby is gonna rOCK I bet it'll be sold out for the first 3 months Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Probably longer, they're limiting the number released over the first few months. It will be hard to get your mits on one of these babies, esp with that price point. Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 200,000 at first. Thats all. I know someone who works in a Comg shop. Says they have tons of pre-orders already. Link to post Share on other sites
A lawyer 0 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I'm not a gamer myself but have a client who works for one of the two handheld companies launching these machines soon... and I can tell you they seem a bit shocked at the price point of the competition..... That PSP does look like an attractive bit of gear though, anyone seen one of those screens close up? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I bought a nice aluminium and steel hoe for only Y1,980 from DIK the other day. I was quite surprised at that price point, especially considering how much recreation, exercise and produce it should result in. I think I might make a custom long handled spade too for a total of Y4,000 - another bargain! Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I sense you're not impressed, Ocean? Link to post Share on other sites
DrMabuse 0 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Just SLIGHTLY better than a GB mms://wm2.streaming.ne.jp/namco/screen_final_002-1.wmv Link to post Share on other sites
happyhappy 0 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Sweet. I hear they reckon it'll be months after the thing is released before you'll actually be able to get your mits on one of these things - unless you're very lucky. Link to post Share on other sites
metroid256 0 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Anyone else get one ordered? They had an online pre-order system open from 12:30 today, the server was way busy but I got in there ok and it seemed to be successful. (It was closed soon after, sold out) Link to post Share on other sites
ian.f 0 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 You got one? Well done. I heard that it would be almost impossible to get one today. I was in Tokyo until yesterday and they've got some cool ads going on in some stations - security guards, nice touch!! The thing itself looks like a very desirable piece of kit, wouldn't mind that on a long plane flight. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Good on ya mate. I saw that and logged on at 2pm to see what it said - the site was overloading by the looks . Link to post Share on other sites
metroid256 0 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Got it booked, will be in me mits a week on Sunday. Check out this vid of RR http://www.aii.co.jp/contents/famitsu/_data/sp/ridgeracers_03_1000k.asx Looking good! Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 That looks pretty good. I am surprised, it looks way way better than the stuff Nintendo is doing. Link to post Share on other sites
ian.f 0 Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I'm not mad into games myself, but this really does look fun. Looks like PS2 quality. That screen looks incredible. I might be tempted myself with this one. Link to post Share on other sites
taguchi 0 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 They are doing same thing they did for PS2 - make it very difficult to get hold of when launch and create buzz about it. But I think that may backfire (?) because people angry at not being able for getting it. I heard just 200,000 units at launch, but maybe 5 tmes that people want it. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 That DS has been released as well already . They're not out of stock on them Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 but nintendo is after a bit more of the kids market as well I think. Link to post Share on other sites
