3D > 3G. It's more about HD vs 3D I preffer HD to 3D though, but that's just me, I am not getting the hype that 3D is getting in cinemas in particular, I see fuck-all difference and have to pay £3 more than for a standard movie. Let alone £1 for glasses if  you don't have your own. And nowadays all the shitty movies have minimal 3D support, so you end up paying £3 for like 30 seconds of 3D in a film. I don't know if the 3D will be used on 3DS in the similar way to rip off customers, to have a stupid reason to charge extra money but not bring much to the table. <- That is provided the 3DS SW will be more expensive, if it's not then fair enough.

Shit. Software IS going up it seems.

DS RRP 29.99

3DS RRP 39.99

is that official prices or again just retailer guessing.

but i see your point.  i like improved visuals over 3D as well.  I HATE the term HD.  But there is 3 reasons i'm getting 3DS. 

  • Nintendo has better handheld games.  PSP's were more console games on a handheld
  • Total guess right now, but 3DS will be cheaper.  Though as mentioned I would have loved a 3DS without 3D, which would have lowered its price.  Ha wouldn't be called 3Ds then though.  Nintendo got Lucky.  $250 is my max I go on spending for new hardware.  Any higher and its left up to family christmas gift.  which since getting older they would probably never buy me a new console again. 
  • SIZE.  I can carry around the 3DS in my pocket everyday easily.  Based on it seems same size or smaller than dslite and that i could.  The NGP looks too big.  I'm not sure what size is exactly, but I have friends with PSP (no idea on model) and they are too big to carry around comfortably.   AND DON'T say use a bag.  I'm not going to carry around essentially a purse my hwole life so i can bring a PSP with me.
