need help on an extreme decision....

i have 100$atm and a 1 year old xbox 360 pro console ( i also have an arcade thats newer) but i like having 2 xbox,s at all times bc well... u know lmao.i game alot and cannot go without an xbox tbh........... should i wait till e3 before plunging down on a big boss bundle? because im curious anbout 3ds...

As e3 is only around the corner, it is probabaly best just to wait for that; but not for the 3DS. It has been rumoured Sony mas reveal some sort of new PSP, so if you are looking for a handheld, you may be in luck for a better PSP being unveiled (then again, you might not, but there is no harm in waiting just a couple of weeks til you know)

That is pretty extreme.

I had a similar decision. Bottome line was that I wanted a handheld now. Didn't want to wait until oct/november for one. I rebought a DS a few months ago, and ended up getting sold on that camo psp. If the 3DS is sweet, then I'll have two ds systems and can play some multiplayer at the place. The new psp will probably cost $275, maybe $400, which just isn't worth it.

bbs? The ps1 support was a major point for me as well. I the ps1 library adds up over time--though its likely the next psp will support probably not only the ps1, but the ps2 as well.

even if sony says they well be releasing a psp2. the psp2 wont hit retail stores until around christmas 2011. i was in the same boat about the waiting but thought i cant wait another year. so i purchased my pspa fewweeks ago and dont regret it. i mostly got it for the old ps1 rpgs but i just found alot of psp games at my local pawnshop pretty cheap.

If you want a handheld, then get one now. Even if things do get annonced they'll: 1) be a far ways away and range their release from anywhere to holiday season to somewhere next year. 2) they'll cost a lot and won't hold a lot of games you can play. Unless they're backwards compatible, then still an expensive device to play old games. If you eventually want to get a handheld, then you can wait it out I suppose.Daavpuke

It's still smart to wait for E3. Even though I remember reading that the psp2 would be announced at TGS, with E3 right around the corner, it is still smart to see if they give any details. New hardware announcements usually lead to a price drop on the current line, so for that reason it makes sense.

Lets be hypothetical and say Sony announces psp2 at E3. Lets say the psp2 will deliver near-ps3 visuals, be fully backward compatible with the original psp(through DD games), and, in addition to ps1 games, it would now play ps2 games as well. Then lets say sony says it will be available in Oct for $249. Would you still buy a psp available on the market? I have a feeling that the one bonus GO users have is that the games they buy will likely be transferrable to the psp2--because UMD is going to be ditched, like it or not.

Personally I think the psp2s main feature is going to be Sonys "paper thin" flexible OLED screen.

e3 is only a few weeks away so you should wait to see if sony announces anything new. If not you should might as well get the bundle.

What does TGS stand for? Becuase i'm waiting for an anouncement also.
