i just saw 3ds outrageous price tag of 250 dollars no games included ur just using the thing as a paper weight without a 50 dollar game so its really like 300 dollar product as much a full blown console

Not to mention that the 3DS is a Nintendo product so you have to add $50 to its price. Then add another $400 for the future revision, and +$200 for good measure.

Basically it's going to be a $900 handheld.

theres no point in gettin a DS cuz the power of the psp is still quite as strong the 3ds's so it shouldn't cost anymore to make

Actually no the 3ds is actually more powerfull than the psp. Your also forgetting the psp has an awful library of games when compared the original ds. power doesnt really mean anything if the games are bad.

OMG the game library of a system that came out 6 years ago is bigger then a system that hasn't even come out yet!? And the tech in the PSP is not on par with the 3DS, just look at the games.

$149 for a new PSP 3000 ?? Might have to jump on that. Thanks.

Oh and yeah, the 3DS is priced a little too high for me just like the PSP was back then. Will wait for 3DSLI :)

Screw that. I'm also going to buy a pink one, and a blue one, and a red one, and get a cool case for all of them! And get a t-shirt that says "I know I'm 3D, but my eyes are up here", and I'm going to get a tattoo of a heart with Reggie's name in the center.

This 3DS is going to cost me much more than just $900.

nintendoggie knows that 3ds will be outrageously popular among the casuals.... higher price is also to pay all the bills and loan for producing their device

no...it plays DS games as well as gameboy/color games (from virtual console) so the 3DS's library is already bigger

3DS has better tech than the PSP....MGS3 is a fine example...looks WAAAY better than MGS PW

and getting a handheld for power alone is complete and utter fail

Well... just kinda agree. To want this-gen-console like graphics is stupid, but I do expect some good power from a new system. Would you buy a new system with a original GB screen just because the library looks interessting and the battary life is good? I wouldn't and that's probably why I was pretty happy with my GameGear back then that actually had colors, and most agreed that it's better to have colors :S

Nintendo 3DS with an already great lineup of games. PSP with a decent, but not great library of games and is 6 years old.

Nintendo 3DS please.

Lovely how this turned in to a fanboy free for all XD. Anyway I would go with the 3DS since you would be getting acces to the DS/3DS library. Though I would recommend getting a psp eventually, was a very good machine( maybe wait for the psp2)

It's expensive, but you don't have to get one immediately. The price will drop, and you can get one then. And I'm surprised the PSP still costs as much as it does. Pretty good deal still though.

Perhaps a more prudent person would wait for the PSP2 to announce before making such bold claims good sir!Jynxzor

Which WILL be at least as expensive as the 3DS if not more. I am calling it right now, $300 USD for the PSP2.

6 year old handheld vs a New release ? If the psp was still 250 bucks it would be an even bigger flop then it already is.

I'd skip both and wait for PSP2 and/or the next iteration of the 3ds, which should only be a few months out.

lbp isnt that good.. i could probably have more fun going through the menus and features of the 3ds then play it (on psp especially) Though i'd probably prefer the unknown psp2 over both.

the 3DS comes with Augmented Reality cards which can be used for AR games. Also, if you want to play LBP, play it on the ps3, not the psp. So go with the 3DS

It was a joke. I have no idea how long they let each iteration be before they upgrade, as I haven't been interested in a Nintendo product since the 64.

Okay. Anyway, Nintendo's revisions usually aren't all that bad, they're about on par with Sony's: 2004: DS 2006: DS Lite 2009: DSi 2010: DSi XL Compared to the PSP's 2005: PSP 2007: PSP Slim and Lite (PSP 2000) 2008: PSP 3000 2009: PSP Go

wow look at all these fanboys lol. If tc wants a psp then he should get it. 150 is a good deal for a psp 3000 along with lbp. It may not have a huge library of games but many of them are good.

He creates anti 3DS topics like this every time major news is released about the 3DS. (TC is just as bad or worse than the other fanboys who have posted in this topic)
