iPhone puts the 3DS to shame. 1MM3NS1TY

This is either a really bad joke or someone has never played a real game in thier life.

Great cross-over :)

I'll definitely get a 3DS...after a price drop. 300 dollars is a bit too much...

[QUOTE="windsquid9000"][QUOTE="King_Dodongo"] Maybe he was talking about the PSP2. Now this is not gonna have BC. Zanoh

I don't see why it wouldn't :?

I would. UMD format flopped badly that Sony scrapped it save for games. PSP2 might use flash media or another sony made format.

A good chunk of the PSP's library is hosted on PSN. No UMD's needed for BC.

I do not like PSN because of the fact it's region locked. The DS games are region free meaning I can play a Japanese game on my US DS. Why do you think the PSP Go was a flop to begin with?

The Go was a flop because it was download only.

Well, that's your problem. The Go's a great system regardless of its sales.

Not only that but it was more expensive than the PSP 3000.

And it just happens to do a lot more a lot than the 3000. Funny how that works :P

It has a better screen, better buttons, bluetooth (wireless headset, internet via phone, PS3 controller, etc.) Save states, 16GB internal memory ($60+ value), Until April, it comes with 3 games (Ratchet & Clank, SOCOM FTB3, LittleBigPlanet - $85 value), etc.

The problem, squid, among the ones already explained, is that PSN doesn't have many games (BBS etc). Many people will complain (quote me) about it not having BC.

I'm aware that it doesn't have all games, but it has enough that one could be satisfied by its selection. I've only bought 3 UMDs since I got a PSP.

Higher DPI, better contrast, and better resistance to glare = better.They're higher quality, more expensive buttons that lack a structural flaw that the other models have.Your point? Also, you seem to have ignored that you can pair it with a wireless headset or go on line anywhere via a bluetooth enabled phone.Doesn't make it worse either. It's a great deal if you want any of those games.

I'm not seeing anything it "does" other than Bluetooth and save states. These are a few minor improvements, the sort of thing that would be expected in a new model of PSP regardless (and since it's a DL-only system, it had damn well better have a lot of flash memory...) They don't justify a $50 price increase at launch, and frankly the PSP Go was enough of a gamble already without charging a premium to early adopters.

They're good improvements that could drastically change your portable gaming experience and cost more for the manufacturer. While that doesn't change that the price is high, it justifies it.

The Go's failure was about more than price/value. It was never a good idea to launch a DD-only SKU in the middle of the system's life cycle.

Theres a chance that the 3DS might not even be $300 bucks outside of Japan.

HarlockJC
Even if it is...I would so pay it

Agreed. Will be too epic of a console to not pick up on release xD haha my thoughts anyway.

A. PSP Go is not the topic here, the 3DS and Layton vs PW is.

B. I wouldn't argue with windsquid9000 since he couldn't debunk the region locked PSN contributing to PSP Go's failure reason I gave earlier.

Looks like it could be interesting, but it's not my type of game.

I don't see what that has to do with anything. It may have contributed to it's failure, but I don't see it as one of the main factors.

Uh, no. 300 Dollars. Not WORTH IT.

No portable is worth 300 bucks. Sorry, but unless I grab a used PSP, I think I'll stick with consoles for now. Besides, Nintendo's too casual these days to warrant buying a new system from them.

3DS > PSP mate. It's already got more games for it since it has backwards compatibility with DS games, a GBC/A Virtual Console, and upcoming 3DS games with titles like this. And for the record Nintendo is not kiddy. I'd be surprised if you never played Layton let alone Phoenix Wright. -.0

And the PSP was $250 at launch. I found it worth it.

So you'd buy a 3DS over a PS3...themyth01

Since I own a 60GB PS3, I do not get your logic. If I didn't have a PS3, Would I choose the 3DS over it? Two different concepts man. One is portable, and one is a stay at home console. I'd chose portable, but then again it also depends on which model PS3 we are talking about. If it is anything other than the 60 GB model, 3DS.

Absolutely not. No handheld is worth that much especially at launch. I'll wait until it has a decent library and there's a 3DSi with 5 different colors.

One again we do not know what the NA/EU price is. Secondly the PSP was 250 (300 with extra goodies) at launch and people bought it. Sides I am sure people will knock down the price by trading in something. :)

Unfortunately Layton games have taken an average of 2 years to localize. We could be waiting a long time for this one.
