Should I wait for the 3DS redesign?

As said, the problem with waiting for the redesign is that six months later there will be a massive price drop!
Then an addon will be announced that makes the redesigned system the ultimate babe repellent, followed by a redesign that integrates it after six months.

Thus continues the Nintendo cycle of shame - just like the Apple cycle of shame, only less pretty

Problem. IOS devices don't last more then 1 generation. My 3GS lasted just over a year and then broke down.

So it's not a matter of always wanting the newest model, it's also because you have to upgrade, or pay an penalty.
