3DS Price Dips Below £200 In UK Price Wars
After the 3DS debuted, we saw that the UK pricing was a little… off. Even considering VAT, the £229 prices we were seeing seemed rather high. They’ve been dropping, though, and now many retailers are going below £200 — still quite a bit more than the $250 we’re going to get it for here in [...]
3DS Debuts With Considerable International Price Disparity
Nintendo has finally launched its new handheld, the 3DS, after nearly 10 months of anticipation, and as usual, has been coy about some key details.

They didn’t mention any specific dates, however, they did assure Streak owners that it would reach their [...]
More People Read E-Books On Laptops Than On Kindles
A recent study by Forrester has revealed a few interesting tidbits about the e-reading populace. Most important is perhaps the $966 million figure of total sales this last year. That’s a lot of money to be coming from what is at the moment a niche market.
But the more surprising statistic, I find, is that 35% [...]
