I've got a DS lite which I've had for a couple of years now and it still has amazing battery life and everything works like new. I like the look of the 3DS but I'm not sure if it's really worth getting it. Like, if I had to get a new DS because my Lite broke even, would a DSi or XL be better for their price? Is the 3ds really worth the extra money?

It still plays the old games so essentially it is with just some new things added on.

Yeah, new things like playing 3DS games. If you need convincing, you probably shouldn't buy one. I'd wait if I were you.

just some new things added on

just some new things

just some

You been reading The Sun newspaper? Btw I'd recommend a 3DS if you've ran out of top DS games to play (I know its BC before I get tiraded but there's no point getting one just to play nothing but DS games), but since you've had it for two years I imagine you have some more left, I'd hold out until the 3DS' library improves quite a bit.

And the Playstation 3 is essentailly a Playstation 2 but with some new things added on, right?

O.K., look, the 3DS is a new system. It has higher resolution screens, more memory, a faster processer, a significantly upgraded graphics processing unit that supports advanced shader effects, improved wireless connectivity, glasses free 3D display, and a few other features.

If you want you coud buy one. I would wait, because all the good games still have to come out are MONTHS away from releasing. There's only like 2 worthy games of buying for the 3DS.

Personally, I'd give a thumbs up to at least half of the launch line up. No, they're not AAA blockbusters, but they're still very good.
