Nagesh answers:
There’s no price for it in North America/Europe/Australia, yet, but it will be ¥25,000(yen) in Japan.
We don’t know the price, yet since Nintendo haven’t made an announcement on price and the official release date, and I doubt it will be $300 since most Nintendo systems that came out in North America are $40-60 less than their Japanese counterparts. If you’re worried about the price then you should know that glasses-free 3D cameras and videos don’t come cheap and you’re looking at about $500+, but 3DS packs more features, yet it’s only less than $300. If you think about it, the iPod Touch cost more than the 3DS when it comes to features and games. Also the currency in Japan works differently than here in US, so don’t get confuse with the price everyone is saying cuz Nintendo of America hasn’t said anything about the price. Just like playbunny2k said, “technology prices here in Japan are actually comparatively higher than in the US because we earn more and can afford it.” Also, ¥25,000 isn’t really that big if you live in Japan and the currency always change. Also, it cost about ¥20,000 just to feed a regular sized family.
On other topic, Resident Evil, or any game for that matter, will be close or almost the same as the regular DS price. According to Nintendo’s president, Satoru Iwata:
“We don’t believe that the world is in a state where high priced software will sell well, so we don’t believe it will be in a price range too far off from current DS software.”

Sharon asks…
is there anyone who can help me pay for home schooling for my somn and daughter?
they are very bright and need someonw to care enough to get them out of the grip of bad influences.
Nagesh answers:
There’s not much to pay for really! Depending on what state you are in, you can probably do it for almost free! A library card, internet access, some paper and pencils are just about all you need!
I’m homeschooling my three children for almost nothing. My 8 year old is doing the most focused work, so I’ll tell you what I do with him.
Writing: a $9 workbook from Wal Mart called “The Complete Book of Handwriting.” This goes from age 5-10 or something like that. For older kids, they don’t need much, just practice.
Reading: Whatever library books he’s interested in. We started off with a phonics program from A Beka, but you can find phonics curriculums free online if you look hard enough. A Beka has a book called “A Handbook for Reading” that you can get for about $12, that teaches all the phonics sounds.
History, Science, Social Studies: Look at the WorldBook encyclopedia Scope and Sequence website. They’ll have a list of what should be learned at each grade level. Then you can go to the library and find REAL books about those topics. You can look for science and history projects online for your topic. You can watch movies and educational tv shows about your topic.
Math: For math, we use workbooks from Wal Mart. “The Complete Book of Math- Grades 5-6” is what my 8 year old son is using right now. They’re cheap (about $9 a piece), and cover everything that needs to be covered. If your child needs extra practice in something, you can look online and find free worksheets. Example: My son needed help with long division. I did a search for “long division free worksheets” and found a lot of them that I downloaded and printed out for him.
I’ve educated my son for about $40 per year! It’s a lot cheaper than most people think. Of course you could go out and buy an expensive $500 curriculum, but it probably wouldn’t work for your child, as most homeschoolers tend to realize that the all in one curriculums just aren’t for them. Try it the really cheap way that I just described and I’m sure you and your children will love it!
If you need any more help, please email me!! I love helping people with these things!
