For Mexico, $4990 MXN or $415 USD at Gameplanet.

What do you guys expect for your own country?

 

[Boney]

I expect around $250.000 CL

That's like 500 bucks. Glad gravijah is getting mine.

 

[SaintZ]

That's what I paid for my PS3... No way in hell I'm buying the 3DS in Mexico.

 

[Loonz]

Here in Europe we'll be raped, but 415 USD... man, that's just... I feel sorry for you guys.

I wonder how much it costs Nintendo to manufacture each unit.

Puerto Rico
$249.99 (+7% tax) everywhere, $284.99 (+7% tax) at K-mart.

Freaking K-mart rise prices on videogames 14% over the MSRP and then charge tax on top of it. Multiple people has complained about it, but "they're looking into it"; since it's only in the videogames section.

 

[kittens]

Huh, I've never heard of "Ibero-America" before. Had to look it up on Wikipedia. :lol

PS: yall are getting gouged. :-(

 

[sphinx]

regarding mexico, only a complete moron would buy ANY gaming hardware in Mexico.

You can buy it yourself on a vacation trip in the US or ask anyone who has a relative there to have them send you the hardware, specially anyone living in the northern states (like me).

I like to go the gameplanets to laugh at the price tags :lol, they are absolutely crazy.

 

[apotema]

Now imagine the price in Brazil

 

[BlueMagic]

Argentina doesn't even get official distribution, so I'm assuming US$500+.

Tell me about it. I can't believe the prices for games in there.

 

[Garcia]

Gameplanet.... LOL. Them Soab... Never would I buy anything from them. It is amazing how thriving and healthy their chain is though, they keep opening new locals in Mexico City.

 

[Regulus Tera]

The last time anyone in my family bought in Mexico was back in 2001.

 

[bernardobri]

Nah, it's probably that the console will be around 200000 clp, no more than that.

 

[Reneledarker]

I remember the launch price for the PS3 here, it was like 9,999 pesos in Sanborns and other stores, I was like WTF, around 900 dlls.

 

[Boney]

Nah, it's probably that the console will be around 200000 clp, no more than that.

Wii was 260 at todojuegos, and that was like the cheapest it got at actual launch here if I remember correctly.

 

[Garcia]

Remeber Liverpool or Palacio de Hierro during launch time as well?

PS3 for $12,000 MXN ($994 USD)... WTF!!!

 

[The Hermit]

Now imagine the price in Brazil

I will get mine in US, I don't care how...

 

[Boney]

PS3 for $12,000 MXN ($994 USD)... WTF!!!

Pff, I saw a PS3 at a major Retail store (Falabella) going for $900 CLP. That's like $1800 dollars!

Qué les pasa !!?.

>:/ !!!!. . . Way to fight piracy with those prices... Forcing us to import hardware and software. Seriously !

 

[Boney]

Qué les pasa !!?.

>:/ !!!!. . . Way to fight piracy with those prices... Forcing us to import hardware and software. Seriously !

That was only on one store though. Most other places was $600CLP, and it's dropped a lot now.
And software prices are pretty good here, so no problems with that regard.

Just thank God Nintendo hasn't decided to make Latin America its own region.

 

[bernardobri]

Currencies back then were different than today, you know... Or do you still buy 60000 clp games like in the N64 era?

Qué les pasa !!?.

>:/ !!!!. . . Way to fight piracy with those prices... Forcing us to import hardware and software. Seriously !

You know, that was like, 5 years ago. Not to mention that department store retailers are just stupid regarding prices, unlike retailers in the US. Gaming focused stores have most of the time reasonable prices.

 

[Boney]

Yeah I guess... Dollar wasn't that high in 2006, was like 600 something right? But yeah, I'm just a youngling, so I didn't have the best financial expertise back then (laughs)

It is fucking disgusting what kmart does and they have been doing it for as long as I can remember. Luckily, PR has plenty if options that carry the regular price.

That's around 414 USD!

 

[TunaLover]

[Altazor]

chilean prices FTW =(

 

[Fat Goron]

Brazilian "official" price will easily be above US$600.....

However, I guess anybody who actually gives a shit won't get it by the "official" means, it's always like this....

 

[jett]

The "official" Latin American prices for video games are always such stupid bullshit. That's why nobody buys this shit at official stores, use your brain morans. PS3 games at "official" retailers go for $100 USD. At an import store they're $65, tax included. :lol

 

[Huevos de Oro]

CINCO MIL VAROS? Chinguen a su madre.

Spoiler

I kind of expected that pricing anyway.

HIJOS DE SU REPUTÍSIMA MADRE ! ! CREEN QUE VOY A PAGAR CINCO MIL PUTOS PESOS POR ESA MADRE !? ESTAN PERO SI BIEN PENDEJOS !

 

[dacuk]

Costa Rican unofficial exchange rate for all games devices and software is always $1 = 1000 colones.
So I would say the 3DS will cost here 250000 colones.

Definitely looking at the Amazon pre-orders, then

 

[Kenka]

400 CHF = 417 $

 

[filipe]

I find $249.99 CND ridiculous. But compared to some of you, just wow.

 

[Brazil]

I expect the price in Brazil to be over US$750. And, honestly, I'm being optimistic.

Just for reference, the Wii launched here for about $1300. Nowadays it costs $600 in big store chains.

Doesn't matter to me anyway. Since 2006 I've never bought a single piece of hardware here. I plan on buying mine in NY during the launch week.

 

[Gravijah]

You guys got it good! Here on the moon we have to pay 50,000 spacebucks for the Wii. AND IT HAS INPUT LAG BECAUSE WE'RE ON THE FUCKING MOON AND THE LACK OF GRAVITY SUCKS

 

[Salacious Crumb]

The price in Australia is more than likely going to be $400 AUD, which works out to $399.10 USD

Games will also cost 70-80 USD over here.

I'll definitely be importing from the US.

 

[Dai101]

This was expected though, it's gameplanet AND a console/handheld from Nintendo, this has always been this way, even when they were officially represented by gamela remember? God awful inflated prices.

 

[AlucarD.eq]

In Ecuador, If it is in the same range when the Nintendo Wii was relased * 400 dollars in almost all the stores. I can guess the same price. Luckily im at China : D so maybe I ll grab a Japanese one.

 

[The Technomancer]

Hey Boney, where are you from anyway? I can't seem to place the flag in your tag...

I want to found my own country just so I can smuggle in games consoles and gouge the citizenry.

You guys got it good! Here on the moon we have to pay 50,000 spacebucks for the Wii. AND IT HAS INPUT LAG BECAUSE WE'RE ON THE FUCKING MOON AND THE LACK OF GRAVITY SUCKS

This is funny, but I have no way to express the mirth I am currently feeling.

 

[Noshino]

I find it funny when people in EU bitch about videogame being more expensive over there...

Psh, Mexico has it easier than the rest of the latin american countries, it isnt that hard for them to acquire US consoles

Spoiler

at least that's what I was told by some mexican friends

You guys got it good! Here on the moon we have to pay 50,000 spacebucks for the Wii. AND IT HAS INPUT LAG BECAUSE WE'RE ON THE FUCKING MOON AND THE LACK OF GRAVITY SUCKS

Fuck man, I really can't believe you like to live in a place like that, as it is I have a shit ton of problems with Comcast down here on Earth.... do you get FIOS? If so, when is the next flight departing?
