Hey, Pix. You probably already know about this, but I'll tell you anyway.
3DS is set to release March 27th in North America, and the 25th in Europe.
$250 is the price. To be released in Black and Blue only, but new colors will come out later. It comes with some pre-downloaded game content from the 'Shop Channel'. It also has video capabilities. n_n
Just thought I'd save you the trouble of reading through my thread. :D
