Question by Gamer959: Which Three Should I Buy? Apple iPad, Apple iPhone 3GS, Nintendo DSi XL, PSP 3000, PSP GO, and Xbox 360 Elite?
I am a current PS3 Slim 120GB and a Nintendo Wii owner. I got the PS3 Slim in January, and the Nintendo Wii in December. I am looking for something new because the Nintendo Wii is starting to get very boring and the PS3 is amazing it’s just that when i do not play the PS3, i want to play something else.
The Apple iPad is a very fun device and if i will buy one it will be the 16GB version which runs at 9.99. The problem with the iPad is that it is not everything that you need in a laptop, yes it is touch screen but it doesn’t work like a Mac, it is not faster than a Mac, but it works like an HP Laptop which is pretty fast, but if i am going to use it for everyday use then it probably would not be the right thing for me, espcially because the iPhone 3GS is the leading device in the world and if i buy both the iPad and the iPhone 3GS i do not know if that would be stupid or not.
The Apple iPhone 3GS is a great device with many good applications, games and more. I will be buying te 16GB version of the iPhone which is 9.99. I really like it and i would want to pay for a great device, but the problem is that my cousin got his iPhone and got bored with it for the next two years and started just paying money to the company which was not very fun for him. I like the iPhone’s applications and games but it is just too expensive even though i can pay that much money in a month, it is just that i feel weird paying that much in a month.
The Nintendo DSi XL is a very fun device with many great games. It has a 93% larger screen than the Nintendo DS Lite and 86% larger than the Nintendo DSi. But here comes the problem, Nintendo said they are releasing the Nintendo 3DS which is supposed to replace the WHOLE Nintendo DS Series. Also, one thing that i would regret on the Nintendo DS Series, is that my friend go a Nintendo DSi the day it came out which was April 5th and played with it until April 23rd and then threw it in his closet and it is still sitting in his closet right now and he had not touched it since about one year ago. So, i am afraid that teh same thing would happen to me because i got a Nintendo DSi but returned it last year because i got bored of it but everything could have changed right now because it has AMAZING Games.
Now to the PSP 3000 and PSP GO, i like the PSP GO because everysingle UMD Game that i like is on PlayStation Network so i have nothing to worry about some games not being there. But it has a smaller screen, i do not like the PSP 3000 because of teh UMD and because it is HUGE!!! The PSP 3000 does have a bigger screen and it does look a bit more hot than the PSP GO but were not going to get into that. Now, i heard that Sony is coming out with a new PSP 2 that they are announcing at E3 2010, and i do not want to miss out on teh new system because that is supposed to compete with the Nintendo 3DS. So, should i wait until E3 2010, and if they do not announce anything then i will buy the PSP GO or should i just buy it now?
Now the Xbox 360. It has great exclusive like Halo, Gears of War, Left for Dead, Fable, etc. The Live is AMAZING especially with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. If i do buy one i will either buy the Final Fantasy 13 Bundle which is 9.99 or the Spring 2010 Bundle which includes two free games at teh price of 9.99. But, i already have a PS3 and a Nintendo Wii so the Xbox 360 Elite might just be a waste. It also has the Red Ring of Death which could happen anytime. Also, they might release a NEW XBOX between now and 2012. Also, pricing is not an issue but if Microsoft decreases the price every year for the Xbox 360 and then next year it is 9.99 wouldn’t they have to come out with something new because the prices are too cheap. Like right now it is 9.99 so would they keep it at 9.99 for another two years or DO THEY HAVE TO DECREASE THE PRICE EVERY YEAR. Like i said pricing is not an issue i just said that they might release something new shich i am afraid of happening.

1) XBOX 360 = Seeing how you already got 2/3 next gen system..why not go for the 3rd one to complete the set? It’s not only that, but there are some exclusive games that i would love to play on the Xbox, especially their xbox arcade games. Also, in the future, project natal is coming to the xbox which i think will revolutionize gaming to a whole new level. Given, that the playstation is also coming out with its own motion device, called the Playstation Move, i think Project Natal is better in terms of using the motion control at its fullest.
2) Iphone 3gs = I was debating between this and the Ipad considering you don’t have either. Honestly, the iphone is a great device and it’s a lot cheaper than the Ipad. In my opinion, i think the IPAD is just a gigantic iphone except that it cant make calls. Granted, that in the future, the IPAD will come out with updates to make it more versatile, but honestly, with that price, you can buy a laptop. Also, google is coming out with its own version of the IPAD and it seems to have more capabilities than the IPAD. Honestly, i like both, but for the best bang for your buck…i say go for the IPHONE 3GS.
3) Nintendo DSi = I own a PSP 3000 and honestly…i barely touched my PSP. I also enjoy DS games a lot better than the PSP ones. But it depends on the kind of game genre you enjoy. I like the PSP games because it has some “adult” games like FF and other RPG style games, but DS is just fun and a lot cheaper. But, if you have not heard, nintendo is coming out with a new handheld system called the NINTENDO 3DS. So, if you really must need a portable handheld gaming system, then go for the DSi, or wait for the 3DS. Alternatively, you can get the PSP 3000, and wait for the 3DS when it comes out.
Extra notes: A big reason why i chose these 3 items is that they are capable of pirating games and movies. Although, you might not support piracy, but I’m just letting you know.
