Amazon's French site has posted a date and price for the Nintendo Revolution. How does June 15, 2006 sound? EUR
299,99 ($367)? Let the debate begin…

No debate needed, this is complete guess work and rubbish.
Just like Zelda was supposed to be out in November.
And I'll eat humble pie AND my hat if the Revolution costs that much!

0.o I think that's fake. $367 is way beyond what Nintendo would think of charging for the Revo.

These sites just stick a date in there and hope that they're close, most of the time. Given that some of them take pre-orders, they'd strongly prefer to choose a date as early as possible, because that will increase the pre-orders that they take in.

I think it sounds like too much unless theres something extremely revolutionary. My guess is that it will be $200. If its much more than that there will be many upset people much like with the 360. Most people were thinking it would be $300 and then when they announced the pricing people felt they were being ripped off because the $300 dollar version didnt come with crap. Everyone is thinking that the revolution is going to be the cheaper alternative to the 360 and ps3 and if its not they will lose a lot of the people who werent the fanboys that were going to buy it.

I'd be surprised if it costs that much. I won't pay more than $200 for a system, so i'll have to wait for price drops if that's the actual price.

WOW.....Amazon has been on a tear...
I think after I get their pre-order PS3 for $299, I'll laugh at the fact that someone might actually pay $367 for a nintendo product.lol.....WOW
TJ: I'll bring something to drink so we can drown our sorrows if this s*** turns out to be true.

Heh, well, i'd like for it to come out on the 15th =D (My birthday is the 16th, so it'd work work out perfectly ;) )
But the price is probably wrong. Nintendo said they were aiming for the $150-$250 price range. =

So you guys too haven't yet figured out the mystery of the VAT in regards to Europe compared to the US, right?

If the Revolution was that much i'd probably start laughing so hard i'd piss myself,just thinking of the reaction of you Nintendo fanboys.
Then i'd stop laughing and realize i'm probably getting one and will have to shell out the money too. :(
In my house this generation,the Xbox360 and the Revolution.Sony doesnt get a penny from me ever again.

That is one sexy looking external DVD-ROM drive for my PC!
My guess is the REV will be more money than everyone here hopes it is, probably not $367 expensive, but my guess is $249-$300.
You can't translate price in Euro to price in the states simply using the exchange rate. While the Euro is valued greater than the american dollar on the international scale, this doesn't mean a 1:1 cost comparison - the economy in Europe is weird, and not as good as the states - stuff costs more. In fact, most countries in Europe outside of France hate the dumb Euro. Just like the Xbox360 is going to cost $299 stateside, it will cost 299 Euro in the fine land of Europe.

Atari, Sega, and Ubisoft. The only 3 companies that have seen the rev plan to fully back it up. Atari wants too put their games up for download as well.

Every Nintendo console so far has started out at $200 U.S.
Revolution will more than likely follow suit.

I won't be free, but it'll be close to it, probably $1-$5 for NES, SNES, and $5-$10 for N64.

Check the date Aug 9th. He said it would cost money a long time ago. Iwata also said that the idea was going to be used to sell the system not to make money on old games.
"People sort of picked on us for not prematurely jumping into online or Internet gaming," he mused, going on to point out that now the company has more to offer besides online gaming. Harrison then confirmed that past-gen, Nintendo-created titles will indeed be downloadable for free.
