Well, the 3DS is out in Japan, and has nearly sold out already. It's about a month away from releasing in the US, so will you buy one once it's released? I'm probably going to wait. First off, I don't have the funds as of now. Not to mention, $250 is an assload of money. If I'm going to spend $250 on something, I'm gonna get it in the color I damn well want. So I'm holding out until the red and purple ones are released (although I'll probably crack if it's anything more than a year).
