US Gamestops have started taking preorders on the 3DS today.
$50 deposit. No color or set price yet, will likely be revealed in the January 19th conference. They're not putting a limit on the number of preorders (yet) but it'll be first come first serve. For example if they only recieve 9 and you were the 11th person to preorder you would not be receiving a 3DS from the first shipment.

95% of my DS use is at home personally, the games are good and thats what matters.

The price is currently set at a placeholder of $999.99, the most I've seen people pay (from comments on GAF) is $250, which is the current estimated price for the states.
No price, colors, or anything will be announced before the conference on January 19th.

Unless your intent is to pay the whole thing off at once, why? The system is going to be more than $50, and we know what's coming out in the "launch window" as it were.
Laying $50 down now just ensures that you get one on release day. If you have a change of heart, or decide the launch line-up sucks, it's not like your money is lost.
If there's any chance at all that you'd like to have on on launch day, NOT putting down money on it is madness.
You can always cancel your order and get your money back if you decide you don't want it, or if you can't afford it. If you don't pre-order, and then you decide you do want it, then after all the units are reserved your only choice will be to camp out at a midnight launch, and still risk not getting one at all.
But I'm still excited for the technology
Glasses-less 3D is pretty awesome
Honestly, I won't pay more than $150 for a hand-held, and this is looking to be $250-$200. The Wii was good at $250, but I really can't justify a portable at that price.
Granted, a few months ago, people were still hoping for $180, and believed it might happen.
As already pointed out, not really (but it does guarantee you will be getting one at Gamestop. Eventually.), but it does increase your chances as far as first-come, first-serve goes.
Honestly, if they can't bring it down to 200$ I'm not even interested then. That's just too much cash.
I reserve the right to change my opinion after seeing this in action in person. The videos just don't do it justice.
-ick this fucking system up day 1.
I'm an easy sell/what's ruining the game industry.
To be fair, if Beyond Good and Evil 2 somehow became a 3DS exclusive, I'd scrounge up $200 (and maybe $250) myself, 3D be damned.
hasn't, like, everyone played that game?
I'm probably the last person that hasn't played that game.
And I'll buy every version Nintendo ever releases. Though to be fair to me, this one actually has some, like, improvements.
And my roommate has it in his N64, and we beat it together over the summer.
Give me skyward sword, damnit! Let me play a new Zelda on my $250 console rather than an old one on a $250 handheld.
I'm hoping the 3DS launches in Australia in a similar window, didn't we get the DS before the US?

I write about video games and stuff. It is fun. Sometimes.
Like actual textures and a controller that doesn't blow?

Not going to be back home for half a week, which probably makes it exceedingly unlikely that I'll be able to get in for the first shipments,
If the folks at your local GS know you well enough, and you have some other pre-orders on deck, you could just call them up, give them your info, and have them shift your pre-orders around.
that's right bitches
