EBgames is listing the 3DS here for $348!!!

That's about 254 in euros, same amount we have to pay.

Well, I'm just comparing what Australians pay for new videogames/hardware to similar games/hardware in the United States, taking in consideration that the U.S. dollar has a close exchange rate with the AUD currently.

I know that in the past, the Wii, for example, launched at the price of $400 in Australia, compared to $250 in the U.S. Also, new games in the U.S. have a MSRP of $60 or less, while I believe Aussies pay somewhere between $80-$100 for new games. And look at recent exchange rates:

1 Australian dollar = 0.9894 U.S. dollars

But if you're from Europe, you're probably accustomed to paying high prices already.

I would suspect that even though the U.S. dollar and the AUD are at near parity, Aussies may end up paying something like $350 AUD for a 3DS. Yikes!

If you trade in your old DSi and two games, you get 125€ off of the price of a new 3DS.

€25 per game, that's a crazt good deal, could buy cheap used game and trade them in.

Wished they did that here.
