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.
