I'm at a bit of a crossroads with the 3DS - on one hand I have a DS, and when I get into a game it's great. I had a phase of playing through Pokemon Silver, FF3 drew me, TWEWY was great etc - however when that's not happening I barely touch the thing. I've found two things turned me off:
1) I didn't really have a lifestyle suited to handheld gaming. I don't have 30 minute train journeys to kill or sit around in an airport all day. I'm either at home - where I'd rather play more PS3 - or at my university campus where even though I might not have lectures, any time spent there is best put towards working.
2) DS game prices never really went 'cheap'. I think I've just been spoilt by the PS3 but in recent months I've bought games like Batman: AA, Just Cause 2, Fallout: New Vegas all for under £14. I've not a hope in hell of finding a good DS game near that price, despite the fact they're RRP's are cheaper. I just can't justify buying a handheld game - which should be cheaper by nature - for more then a PS3 game :(.
and unfortunately, I don't see 1) changing anytime soon and I don't see 3DS games getting cheaper, but infact more expensive >_>. It's a shame as alot about the 3DS appeals to me, but I know I won't be able to keep playing it alot.
I will be putting alot of attention on the PSP2 though, as if they can give that enough media functions to justify me carry it around wherever I go that sort of negates 1), and I'm hoping DD will drive prices cheaper, albeit I'm skeptical on that. Too early to judge with no official announcement, but trophey support might just pip it for me :P
