To the US users who haven't found out already, the 3DS will cost $250 (about £160). I'm thinking about preordering, but I'm going into GameStop tomorrow to see if they have any trade-in deals at the time being. I'd expect $50-$70 off the 3DS for a (barely) used DSi trade-in. I'll give 'em the box and everything.
The launch list looks okay, but I'm looking forward to all the first party games Nintendo has in store (Zelda OoT, Star Fox 64, Mario Kart, yeah).
EDIT: So GameStop doesn't have any trade-in deals yet, but the clerk said that they will start in a few weeks. He was kind enough to map out a plan for me, though: make a $50 deposit (aka pre-preorder) on the 3DS, wait for the trade-in deal, trade-in and add to my deposit, and then it's preordered. It's not as complicated as it looks.
