Finally Reached Level 20

Haha, no it isn't what you think. This is just a really geeky way of saying it is my birthday today. :D I must admit though, 20 is a scary number for an age. What is even scarier is I have been a Gamespot member for 5 years, so 25% of my entire life I have been a Gamespot member... actually no that isn't scary, that is freaking awesome. :P Well if you take into consideration of months, it probably doesn't equal that but I am just going to take my estimation as fact for now. :P So what did I get? Well here is the thing, I will be getting the 3DS... but I am waiting for the price drop first. I was close to getting the 3DS for the original price because of the 20 free games... but I just couldn't justify it. With that said, even if I did get the 3DS before the price drop, I wouldn't have been angry like some people. I would have been happy with the 20 games. :) I know I won't be buying it because it is a gift but if anyone is getting me a gift, I feel better knowing that they got it at the lowest price they could. :P Also before you tell me that the 3DS is terrible and going to fail, let me justify myself first. :P Yes I know that the library is lacking in the 3DS, the only game I want at the moment is the Ocarina of Time remake. However there are a few good games I am looking forward to such as Star Fox 64 remake (all what I knew it as: Lylat Wars remake ;)) and many others. Plus I am sure there are going to even more great games yet to be announced. The library is lacking at the moment and that is why there haven't been as much sales as suspected. But I think it is a bit extreme to say the 3DS will fail, hear me out, as soon as a Pokemon game is released the sales will peak. :P Plus look at the PS3, the library for the PS3 was lacking a bit when it first came out but looking at it now, it is arguably one of the best! (then again that could be said for all 3 consoles :P) So give the 3DS some time to develop. Also even if by rare chance it does fail, I still win. I am in a very unique situation where I am interested in both the DS and 3DS library yet still don't own the original DS handheld. So while I wait for the 3DS library to develop, I can start digging in on all these DS games I have been missing out on over the years. It is like getting 2 handheld consoles in one. :P But the 3DS won't fail. Prediction: In a few years time we will look back at the people who said it will fail and laugh about it. :P Also apart from that near future gift, what else did I get for my birthday? Well it is 1:45 AM in my time so people haven't really had a chance to give me anything yet. :P Although to be honest, I would be happy with just a birthday card. :) With that said, I am going to spend the next 8 - 10 hours of my birthday doing what I do best... sleep. :P
