As a gamer, I am torn. I really don't know what to do. I want to get an original (not slim) used PS3 for around $200 for it's exclusives and Blu-Ray player. BUT, I also really want the 3DS because of it's awesomeness! I already have most of the other systems' so I want to get ONE of them between now and March since I only have the money for one. (yes I'm poor) I really want them both badly!! So this is where I need your help. I need you, the Gamespot community to vote on and decide for me which one to get! GO GO GO! System warr!!!

You need to decide for yourself, not have a bunch of strangers do it for you. Pick the system which interests you more based on, library, features ect.

Which system has more games you want to play the most right now? Answer that, and you answer your question.

200 dollars for a PS3 is a really good price, I'd say go for it.

P.S. if you were really poor, you wouldn't "already have most of the other systems" nor would you be thinking about buying video game systems at all.

I'd be selling my PS2 if I got a PS3, selling my DS if I got a 3DS.....Yeah I do need a better job to support my gaming habits. xD

Trade your 360 and games for a used PS3, buy the 3DS with your saved cash. Problem solved.

Well I've already got a bunch of non-exclusives for my 360 that I still play, and I don't want to sell them all....The main reason I want a PS3 is for it's exclusives, I'll keep getting the non-exclusives for my 360.

I would not even hesitate between a ps3 and a 3ds (and I play more on 360), but i'd get a ps3 anytime/day/night/sober/not sober over a 3ds ;)

95 % of the games are shared with the other platforms. After he's done with the 5-10 exclusives he's interested in it'll collect dust.

There's 12 exclusives I'm buying for the ps3 this year.

Besides, it wouldn't be redundant unless there were NO games he couldn't get elsewhere besides the ps3.

Same goes for all systems.

There are more than 10 exclusives, clearly. Even if there were that many, then he can sell it and buy a 3DS after. Win win.

Well I'm sure TC has done his research seeing as he wants a PS3 so badly. And by your logic, he shouldn't go with the 3DS seeing as none of it's titles have even proven to be good yet - and are resting on the fact that they're 3DS games solely.

PS3. Not only are the games better, the best ones are cheaper than any 3DS games by now. You can find Uncharted 2 for $30, MGS4 for $10, KZ2 someone will give you. Play the older games and you'll save a TON of money. 3DS... it will get better and cheaper over time. NOT the time to get.

Waiting seemed to have done wonders for ps3.:P He wouldnt have posted here if he wasnt intrested in some 3ds games.

Maybe he should come back and inform us about what games he wants.

I say PS3, even though i just pre-ordered the 3DS from Amazon.

I may reconsider on the 3DS. It has bad battery life. The 3D might get annoying. It could take awhile for a really good game library, it is $250 BUCKS, the controls might be a bit uncomfortable for some games, and there is bound to be a price drop and re-design within a year or so.

But the PS3 is full of awesome; the games, the games, the games, and the under-rated Move. LBP2 is so much fun. Killzone 3 right around the corner, Dead Space 2 with Extraction is win, win, Sorcery for the Move coming soon, spectacular Motorstorm Apocalypse and Infamous 2 in the summer.

Dont listen to the haters telling you to sell your 360 its the only platform right now that has honest fun multiplayer since psn is in shambles since the hack. But id say go for the 3ds its games looks alot more interesting than the ps3 line up.

Do you have a regular DS yet? If not, the library of games for the DS is something to consider on top of the library of 3DS games.

Most people have told you their opinion and I concur: PS3 has a proven line up and while 3Ds looks good, you should really wait 'til it gets better. At least that's what I'm gonna do.

The vast majority of announced 3DS games look amazing to me, I couldn't name 'em all. But that doesn't mean they'll be good just because of the 3D. I know just about all the PS3 exclusives are quite good from what I've heard. So as far as games, I know the PS3 has good ones, but the 3DS games look just as appealing (or more).

You told us to decide for you... pretty much everybody said "get the PS3" and this is your response to that. Seems to me you clearly know what you really want, so why make this thread??

DerpyMcDerp
The day has finally come when someone agrees with you. 3DS will go down in price and further revisions may work out some of whatever kinks there are. And you already own a DS.
