DS Price and release date rumors (update)
I found this on gamespot:
"RUMOR #1: The Nintendo DS will be released on November 11 in the US at a price point of $179.99.
Source: Anonymous sources cited by games-press magpie Gamesindustry.biz.
The official story: "Nintendo does not comment on rumors or speculation."--Nintendo of America spokesperson.
What we heard: Though it originated in "unconfirmed reports from Japanese retail sources," the gamesindustry.biz story has a surprising amount of detail. It outlines a two-tiered DS launch: On November 4, the portable will launch in Japan for a retail price of 19,000 yen ($174.78). One week later, it will land on US shores on November 11 for a retail price of $179.95, $20 lower than the speculative $199 price online retailers are currently taking pre-orders at. So should we Yanks expect dual-screen action on Veteran's Day? "That plan is remarkably close to the truth," said one informed source, who also said the leak had prompted Nintendo to go on "information lockdown."
Bogus or not bogus?: Probably not bogus."
