I'm wondering if it is worth picking up a 3DS now or should I wait until they come out with more games or potentially announce a new design. Thoughts?

If the games interest you, get it. If they don't, wait until they do.

Best advice you could get.

Look at what games are out and comming out in the next few months and if you feel there are enough games that intrest you pick one up, if not wait.

I am interested in zelda and mario kart right now, but that is about it for current releases. the Tales game coming out will interest me as well. Do either of you use the netflix app for it? How well does that function?

I have the netflix app but don't use it because my droid, tablet, laptop, and ps3 are all much better for watching shows.

*EDIT* Don't forget to consider the eshop games. There may be some games on there that you would enjoy.

Do u really think they will make a lite? It's already small for my hands. I'd think an xl with 2nd joystick and bigger screen and battery would be better choice.

I think nintendo eventually will add a second circle pad and a better battery.

I'm presonally waiting for the inevitable redesign. That, and the games that are out now don't interest me very much. I'm waiting for Paper Mario.

That's still a far way off. There's really no point in waiting if you already have interest in a few titles now -- the price is reasonable and the content is there. I wouldn't hold back now since there are legitimate reasons for owning a 3DS now.

I use the Netflix app on occasion. Its boot-up takes a while, but after that it works fine. Then again, I have hi-speed internet, so if you have a lower speed, I can't vouch for the quality. But it serves its purpose fine. With games like RE: Revelations, Luigi's Mansion 2, Paper Mario 3DS, and Kid Icarus coming out (supposedly) within the next half year, and only Tales of the Abyss is all that interests you, that makes me shaky as to whether your taste goes in line with the 3DS's offerings. Are none of those other games or anything on the eShop/Virtual Console really uninteresting to you?

My advice is to go for it. If you've ever appreciated racing games of any kind, Mario Kart 7 is simply amazing. I was expecting a rehash of Mario Kart DS but the game is so much more in just sheer entertainment value. The games that are going to come out and are already out just make it icing on the cake.

Wait for the revision with a battery life that can actually be called a battery life and not pathetic life span.

I'd say the revision is not that far off; the system is selling well and a revision would sell even better, no doubt, especially since a lot of the better games are coming out by next year.

I don't see the point in buying a system twice when you can just be patient and expect the inevidable?
