If they do what I think they will do with it, I would be willing to pay 399$ for the 3G version blindfolded. More than that will depends on the line-up, I might wait. Im still grabbing a 3DS on release day anyway. Might resell it later on depending on the NGP and 3DS line up.


I have no intention of paying extra for the 3G version, unless that one also has larger onboard memory. 3G is useless to me. It's just used for the web-browsing and such, and I can do that much easier and more portably on my Android. 

Well 3G would be good for online games on the go.

I don't know why they didn't just go and put 4G in it though.


No it's not acceptable for online gaming and that's why Sony isn't using it for online gaming. Your ping would be 300-400ms. That's a very noticeable lag. It would also use way more data than the 3G networks are used to handling.

To clarify: A lot of people seem to believe the 3G will be used for online multiplayer. All signs say this is not the case, or Sony would have advertised it as the case. It appears the 3G is just for social networking and internet services. And Sony is right to do this. Trust me, you don't want to play online over 3G. It will not go well.
