I'm 43, & got a 3DS (I found it in our local GEX store going ~£50 cheaper than the cheapest shop store price). Had to buy Zelda full price (I'm a Zelda Fanboy) since the local ASDA sold out of the £30 Z:oot on offer, but boy - was I amazed @ the 3D effect
There's quite a few bits I don't like, like the Wii plaza (not got a single 'hit' yet - mind you I've only had it for 2weeks so far) so I'm wasting my coins on buying 'heroes' for the mini-quest game (another thing I don't like - the limit of only 10 coins a day)... & £40 for a game !!!!
I think it would've been nice to be able to stick your own photos/videos onto the SD card to play back
but since you can't all I got to wait for now is a 'true' 3DS flashcart [& dumps] & I'll be happy to use homebrew for those features
(FYI - Been a Ninty fan since the original Gameboy - which I still have lying around here somewhere - & have had the GB Pocket,color, GB-SP, GBA , DSlite, DSi, Wii and now the 3DS)
