Not too long ago, an Australian modchip supplier was supplying a device that allowed gamers to backup their legit game copies to internal or external USB devices and play them from there.
Unfortunately, the success the device has been shortlived. Sony recently demanded that all orders for this device to be cancelled, in which the manufacturers agreed to and promptly the modchip supplier refunded all the paid orders that were queued.
Nintendo 3DS: $400 AUD a pop
Recent rumors suggest that the upcoming successor to the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS will have a price tag of $300 USD (US Dollars).
The price of the console itself in question, was seen on Amazon on a “pre-order” 3DS placeholder item with a price tag of 199.99 GBP (British Pounds), which roughly equates to about $400 AUD – $100 more than the price of the original phat Nintendo DS when it first launched. With the positive feedback the new console has been getting, Nintendo may be raking in the money when it hits the store shelves.
