I actually think the original GBA was nicer than the GBA SP. The original GBA felt like a quality piece of equipment, where as the SP felt junky and was all flash with no substance. But people bought into it because it had a backlight and 'looked cool'. At least it led to the development of the DS.

[QUOTE="Nophoria88"]The good thing about the DS was that it was protected when closed, now it actually damages itself. Please don't bother claiming it doesn't because I see it everyday, just like other people experiencing it.

The 3DS damages itself? How so? I ask because I bought one.

I agree with the battery life. I also think that a price drop will come earlier than expected. Remember, the N64 was announced at $250, but when it actually landed in stores it sold for $199, msrp---at least in the US.

If there was any reason to ever upgrade then it would be for a 3DSXL version.gokuofheaven

[QUOTE="soulreaper-4"]No offense but people are plain stupid! 3DSLite will not existe because that was the name of revision from an old portable that heavier than the customers liking. 3DSi the same, the i was given because they added the front camera and you could customized more the menus adding apps. The first DS had many problems, it was very big, ugly looking, very dark screens with almost no light, very heavy etc. The 3DS is the same size of the Lite, have bright and screens, two front cameras (more for gaming than pictures), a front interior camera etc. All in all the 3DS was well made, only the battery seems to bother some people and that can be updated in the future without the need of revisions. 5 straight hours is enough unless you are out of your mind and play lonyger without stopping. If you wait for a revision, you will end waiting for the next one and the next one.Nophoria88

Your calling people stupid because they're giving the next revision a codename by calling it a 3DSlite? Seems like your reading into things too much, they can call it whatever they want, it's a codename i.e. it doesn't matter.

Also being a portable device that runs three hours is not up to par. You bring it out with you, leave it in streetpass mode, play an hour here or there and it's dead. I don't want to hear 5 hours because no one plays with every setting turned off. How is it well made when I close my 3DS and it puts marks on my screen? The good thing about the DS was that it was protected when closed, now it actually damages itself. Please don't bother claiming it doesn't because I see it everyday, just like other people experiencing it.

Hey everyone,

So, I recently purchased the 3DS, but I'm feeling a little buyers remorse after shelling out the 250 for it. I know it's stupid, but I always seem to get BR after a fairly major purchases (well, as a university student, it's pretty big). I was contemplating returning it and getting a DS, but then that might not be the best idea, considering it's not going to be the main focus for Nintendo in the future. I know it's ultimately my decision, but I was hoping for some words of encouragment about the system.

I've been playing some Face Raiders, which is pretty awesome, but I need some advice on games:

Name three DS games that I should definitely pick up. I love RPGs with good stories, and I enjoy platformers.

Name one 3DS game I should look into (or, conversely, suggest that I wait for newer titles; or maybe DS games are the way to go right now).

Thanks a bunch, guys and gals.

[QUOTE="NeoStar9"]The look of the 3DS isn't going to change.AutoPilotOn

I disagree. I expect a slightly altered look and price drop, around the time of the NGP. But I say go ahead and pick it up. The revision to the 3DS will likely only be a better battery life and a slightly slimmer top half(the 3D screen half).
