The handheld console we've all been dying to see in person ("seriously, does it really work?") - the Nintendo 3DS - will be out on March 31, for RRP $349.95.

The launch party was only last night, and already retailers are scrambling to best each other on launch deals. Interested in finding the best price? Check out our 3DS Price Round-Up Thread!
