    People truely are morons

    As everyone I know says it's crap, the 3D is not very 3D.

    Anyone else also notice El-Reg's fickle reporting here, when it's referring to PS3, they quote the highest price they can find (RRP usually), yet Nintendo gets the luxury of El-Reg shopping around for you to find the cheapest and less sensational price...

      Not that much shopping around

      Given that they have quoted the Amazon price, in an article about, er, Amazon.

      Nintendo

      "Of course it's nintendo, and people just buy nintendo, as they know no different."

      Or they have years of experience of knowing that Nintendo deliver some of the most innovative and fun 1st party games on all of their platforms.

      I'm not in any particular camp, but Nintendo (and close partners) do produce some of the most intensely enjoyable games.

    Amazon is cheapest

    A quick search shows that Amazon is the cheapest retailer by at least a fiver. Perhaps this is why they have massive pre-orders?

      No it isn't

      Pay £187 on Amazon UK then. It's $249.99 on Amazon.com. Pretty much equal once you factor out UK VAT (£187=£155.83+20%, $251 at today's rate)
