The 'basic' one. Don't even know what 3G is, which suggests I don't need it.

They don't use those terms in the UK? Its basically a marketing term for 3rd Gen cell phone data networks. Now there are 4G networks which are all the craze here, but only 1 is truly a 4G network (Verizon). The other "4g" carriers use glorified 3g (HSPA+ to be exact) and market it as 4G in order to charge more and make people think its fast. Marketing annoys me..

What would 3G allow me to do on a handheld gaming device that standard WiFi wouldn't?

Really? You don't know about 3G?
