The official ARV of the price has been revealed accidentaly during one of SE's contests. It's $400/$397.36 CDN. The same contest in europe lists the Aproximate Retail Value as 499€. Whether the prices have VAT counted in or not remains to be seen.
...not that bad. With a contract, the phone/console might just be "affordable".

"Racer" looks SWEET. Maybe the title is a bit "meh", but it "shows" what this hardware is capable of doing.
As far as the battery goes (apparently it's a concern lately), it's 8 hours of non-stop talking, aprox. 5 hours of non-stop gameplay. Not sure about the stand-by mode, but probably a "few days".
