Question by Gamer959: Which Two Systems Should I Buy? Apple iPhone 3GS. Apple iPad, Nintendo DSi XL, and Xbox 360 Elite?
am a current PS3 Slim 120GB and a Nintendo Wii owner. Those are the only systems that i have which means that i have no portable gaming device, it is just the PS3 Slim and the Nintendo Wii. I want to buy three of these gaming devices and knock one out. I really want the iPhone 3GS because it is the king of the devices out in the world so i really want one for the amazing applications games, iPod, etc. I might hold off for the 3GS for another two months so i can buy the new one coming out, So, i basically want an iPhone, i do not care which iPhone i get but it has to be between the 3GS and the new 4G. I really want the iPad because i currently do not have any sort of laptop, and the iPad is a cheap touch screen laptop with amazing games. But, would a laptop be better than an iPad if i will buy the iPhone? Because if i have the iPhone and iPad, they are both the same thing, so i will play with the iPhone more because it is portable, but at the same time the iPad is a new thing that came out and i never bought something new in my entire life because i got the PS3 Slim in 2010, and the Nintendo Wii near October. So, the iPad would be a cool laptop with tons of games also considering that it is as fast as a laptop. If i will buy the iPad, i will be buying the 16GB Wi-Fi Version which runs at 9.99. The Nintendo DSi XL is very fun with great games and a 93% Larger Screen than the Nintendo DS Lite and 86% bigger than the Nintendo DSi. But, one thing that i hate about the Nintendo DSi XL and DSi and all of the DS Series is that you play the Nintendo DS for the first month and then it sits in your closet for the next five years and that is what happend to my friend, he got a DSi the day it came out, played with it for the first month, and then left it in the closet, but some of my other friends love there DS. Also, Nintendo is making the 3DS which i got very dissapointed when they announced that it was going to replace the Nintendo DS Lite, DSi, and DSi XL. But the DS still has good games so i do not know what i should do, oohhh also i returned a DSi before, i got one didnt play with it so returned it but at the same time the DS has great games, AND PLEASE KNOWBODY TELL ME TO BUY THE DS LITE!!!! The Xbox 360 Elite is fun also considering all of the exclusive games that i like (Halo, Forza, Fable) etc, but it came out in 2005 and i already have the PS3 Slim so i might not have enough time to enjoy all of my consoles. Also, if i do buy the Xbox 360 i will buy the Spring 2010 Bundle which includes Forza Motorsport 3 and Halo 3: ODST. I know that the Live is better but i am afriad that they will release a new Xbox in the next 2 years. The reason why i am bringing this up is because in 2004, i got a PS2 Slim, and i never knew that the PS3 was going to come out two years later, so i got the PS2, two years later PS3 came out, asked my parents if i could buy one and said no which is the reason why i didn’t buy the PS3 until 2010. But, at the same time the Consoles are so advanced that they might be trying to add on to it to complete the life cycle. I know some of you are going to say that microsoft said that the Xbox 360 has a 10 year lifecycle, but if a new Xbox comes out they could be selling the 360 with the new console kind of like what sony did, in 2002 they said PS2 is going to have a 10 year lifecylce so everybody got one and the PS3 Came out, so who knows new consoles could come out anytime. Pricing is not a problem. But, you know how microsoft and sony decrease the price of there consoles every year, well like i said pricing is not an issue, if Sony and Microsoft wanted to keep the 360 and PS3 then would they stop decreasing the price and keeping it at 9.99 or will they keep decreasing then until they are 0 dollars and then announce a new system, i am not worried about the prices i am worried about the consoles and how long they are staying. Please you have to explain a lot in your answer and tell me why i should buy what ever you thing i should buy, who ever explains the most gets 5 stars and 10 points. THANKS EVERYBODY GOOD LUCK!!!!! ALSO PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE THING!!!!!! PLEASE EXPLAIN A LOT TO RECIEVE BEST ANSWER, SO DONT JUST TYPE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO GET, EXPLAIN.

Good luck getting someone to read all of that….
Get the 360 and mod it, and a cheap netbook that can do everything an ipad can, but cheaper.

tl;dr , but from my knowledge i would suggest the iphone and the dsi xl
First of all, do you want 3 or 2? I’m listing 3 but if u want 2 its going in order from best to least.
I think you should get the iPhone.Why because I have been to the make store to try out the iPad and i was really disappointed.Like you said the iPad is just a bigger iTouch.There’s absolutely no difference except maybe that the iPad is faster.The iPhone would be better than the iPad because the iPhone can fit in your pocket and you can call and text. Next, is the Xbox 360 elite I am a 360 owner myself and i have to say it makes gaming fun, I dont know about the PS3 because i have only played it a few times.Also it’s the next best thing on your list. Also you CAN connect your iPod to the Xbox 360 but i don’t know about the PS3.After you connect it you can listen to music while your playing your game. Next, is the Nintendo DSi XL, I didn’t pick the iPad because the iPhone is the samething but better and plus isn’t the DSi XL new? I’m not sure You said you would like to buy a new gaming console. It’s really good at road trips and it has improve, and I heard its better than the PSP, i dont believe it just because i never played it. Anyways it has 2 cameras, 1 faceing your and on the back side. Also you can play music while your playing your game and it has a built in microphone and don’t get the iPad because its the first gen and there gonna make way better ones.
Firstly… never write that much because no one can be bothered to read it!
Secondly… get the iPhone and xbox.
The iPhone is as you said the “king of devices” so is a must buy. You will be able to get many games that are soooo addictive and fun, and also you will probably get free internet on your contract which is very handy!
I say the xbox because it is in my opinion better than the other two options. The iPad is a bit expensive when you can get a laptop to do a lot more for less money. And i don’t think there is a lot of point getting a nintendo dsi if you have an iPhone, and also the games on the xbox are FAR FAR better than the nintendo with a screen size of a few inches!
Hope this helps
