Considering that the 3DS XL doesn't come with a plug in Europe, they can't use that excuse.

They'll just bump the price up anyway

USA - $199.00 | ¥16,005 | €158.24 | £127.68 (Includes AC Adapter)

I realise the US price is pre-tax and everyone else includes sales tax (I assume, not sure about Japan's practices with VAT) but still: the UK price is flat out bonkers.

I'd be willing to bet we'll be able to get the thing for closer to £150 within a month or two.
