Its a pretty expensive phone, 700-730 off contract, 299 on contract.
I got the Note 2. Amazing phone. Big screen, big battery, cool stuff like multi window and pop up player. I dont feel like I'm walking around with an outdated phone either.
And if you get the Note 3 prepare yourself for people commenting on how big your phone is every time you pull it out. People notice my phone or ask me about it on a near daily basis. Its gets annoying tbh.
