"I'll probably buy my 3DS used (if at all)"

Just the way you stated the last part with you past comments seem to convey something.

But it may just seem I'm looking to much into it. My bad...

I was saying that if I were to buy the 3DS I'd probably get it used since it's cheaper. I don't think there's anything offensive or inherently wrong with that honestly.

I really think the build for most people is very low quality (Loose, squeaky, wobbly, hinges, for most people) I preordered mine and kind of regret not waiting until these problems were fixed. Also the NGP is coming out and the rumored price without 3G is $250. I do think the NGP might be better in some ways. Maybe you'll want to wait and see how the NGP turns out before you buy a 3DS.

Manufacturing + shipping issues =/= low quality.

Of course from those people there only a small amount, the majority with working 3DS has
no reason to say anything.

coming form someone who has been playing with it since day 1, i say wait.

there really isn't that much games out right now and you'll get bored fast if you don't like the games now. I don't play fighting games that much and i thought that i would be soo into SSFIV because it look really cool. well i barely put an hour into that game and im already bored with it. If you dont really play a certain genre then i think you might get bored with it and there isn't much choices right now. and it's really annoying not having the eshop and stuff out of the box. I say wait until at least May when the update is out. I think june is a great month to buy it when zelda comes out and a lot more games are anounced then to get you hyped =]

the system itself is fun but youll get tired of games like face raiders. i think that app is so boring and doesn't work with 3d when you move around alot. the cameras are pretty fun though and i spent hours on it. wished the cameras are much better though because its usuable in dark areas and can only take decent pics in bright settings.

so yea, wait till may or june =]

oh also, my 3ds is squeaky =[

edit: or if your on the fence with this or a 3ds....maybe wait for the NGP because that looks really cool (interested in the back touch panel)

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
