Why?... not anxious to get the first 3D handheld?, hmm...

There aren't really any games I'm interested in at the moment and I don't want to pay the current price point of the handheld. In a few years we'll probably see a new model (ever since the GBA, Nintendo has released a new model of their current handheld approximately every two years) , and if not, the great collection of games that get released will be available for a good cheap price.

Oh brother! I understand that the majority using these forums are kids that want everything to cost $100.00 but i don't see what part of saving they don't understand. When i was younger i used to safe to get my consoles and games. On the other side most don't think it twice to spent $250 on an ipod just for music.

LOL. People would call a console expensive when they would spend $600 on a cell phone and a ipod. They're simply an enigma.

I agree with I Forgot It. The 3DS is pretty dang expensive and doesn't offer enough bang for the buck. Until there are better games for it, it really isn't worth having around. Nobody understands the value of a dollar anymore, and this guy probably has the right idea by waiting a couple of years to buy a 3DS. Electronics are one thing that always rapidly drop in price over time, and usually it's best to wait for a system revision when all of the bugs are worked out and the hardware is improved. And nobody said that I Forgot It even has a $600 phone and IPod - he probably doesn't and probably also thinks it's stupid to pay that kind of money for that stuff. So cut the guy some slack, he makes a valid point. It's his money and his choice. I got one already because I wanted to have one before the holiday season and I got my tax returns at that time. Otherwise, I would have waited. And so far none of the games for the system are all that impressive, and many of the games I am interested in that have release dates are ports/remakes of existing games. But I am ready for when the good original games do come out - I am $250.00 ahead of everyone else anyway.

But I am ready for when the good original games do come out - I am $250.00 ahead of everyone else anyway. The 3DS is expensive but not "dang expensive". I have one and i think it should be like $200 or $180. My point is that a lot of people specially on gaming site's forums think every console and portable should cost $100 dollars and on top of that they want them to have every function in existence with state of the art technology. Some have come as far as to compare mobile games with true games from dedicated systems, they even want every full real game sofware to cost super cheap from the very launch day like if they were those mobile minutes experiences. I personally don't think a pricedrop after 1-2 years is fast; Do you know how much and how many thinks can happen in a year or two? One think i have learned in life is: If you want something and can afford it go get it, use it. Life can take many turns and we shouldn't life just waiting for the future.
