What was the point of the "New" 3DS?

No, you are totally wrong. I've said way earlier: "It looks cheap, has underwhelming visuals, yet costs more than a Vita!" I've also been comparing it to PSP and that also meant the built quality, not just the graphics. When I take my Vita in hands, I feel it's a modern, hi-tech device. Not the same with 3DS, which looks cheap and totally fails to justify its price. I mean, a slider and that absurd C-stick instead of two analogs? For that price?

So no, and a 2DS is obviously not an answer to my complains when it comes to the 3DS.

I'm glad to hear it. Unfortunately your point about it being hacked before buying it is very irrelevant to build quality. You also used console price as an argument for a limited games library and graphics, which really doesn't make sense considering the 2/3DS are cheaper and offer many different models.

If you think that it being hacked or going down more in price will change your dislike for its build quality, I think you're going to be waiting a hell of a long time.

You are trying really hard to ignore what I'm really saying and on top of that you're trying to spin things in a way that suits your theory. I guess the best answer is just me quoting what I've written to you on the previous page of this thread.

They're all rip-offs, even the Vita.

Still, if you consider the price of both the console and games later on, Vita ends up being much, much cheaper! And it's despite having a much higher level of built quality, next gen specs (in comparison) and games costing more to develop. I am willing to pay for quality, but I won't pay extra for lower quality. I know there are some great games there, but I can't justify the price of the 3DS experience. As I've said - I'll get one when they crack it like they did with the DS. I still ended up buying a few DS games I enjoyed the most and will do that with 3DS as well, but no way I'm getting into this system without that.

As you can see, I know exactly what I'm complaining about, I do know all of my options and I have made myself very clear right from the start.

And let me stress the most important point - the 3DS EXPERIENCE is too expensive for my judgment and is a rip-off. The whole experience of owning and enjoying the console, so the price of the hardware and the games. With the 3DS it's massively more expensive than the Vita, while at the same time you can see at every step that Sony gives me superior quality, when Nintendo is cutting corners and saving on me wherever it can and telling me to deal with it.

So yes, the console being hacked will change the price of the experience and suddenly the low quality will become acceptable. This is really a very simple concept and I have no idea why you seem to be uncapable of grasping it.
