iPad 2 or Nintendo 3DS?

[KingVamp]

Neither. The 3DS is shit useless, and so is the iPad.

Get a job. Or just save the money.
How is the 3DS useless?

QUOTE(MrCooper @ Mar 10 2011, 08:57 PM) iPad is overpriced. And 3DS causes so caterax. So neither

Stop your out right lying.

 

[Liezah]

You don't really need those if you have a computer and an ipod touch/iphone. While I don't know about 3DS, but it seems like a waste of money.

I say just wait for something better and innovative that comes out? They always update or integrate something new to their products like every year... But wait for like a super-mega-awesome mech? or something like that...

Or just save the money for life problems.. =/

The funny thing is 3DS is better and innovative. Not being bias, but the logic of saying do not buy something although not knowing anything about it
make no sense.

Nintendo 3DS FAQ

There info, but it can only help you so far. Need do more research and experience yourself.

 

[Urza]

Why are you asking us?

They're two completely different products, which aren't comparable. It depends entirely on what you want.

(personally I would get the iPad 2 however)

 

[Hells Malice]

This thread is a joke right?

3DS. No contest.


iPads are the worst crap you could ever want to buy. They're completely and utterly useless.
Tablets in general are rather useless, but iAnything in particular is just huge brand fees for a mediocre product. ESPECIALLY iPads.
I could never work at a store that sold iPads because I would fucking roll on the FLOOR laughing at your dumb ass if you brought an iPad to the till.

 

[Urza]

just huge brand fees for a mediocre product.

It's not like the company behind the 3DS has released only low-end hardware with huge profit margins over the course of the last decade or anything.

That was sarcasm, by the way.

Are you saying they release overprice hardware, because if you are that isn't true at all.

Look at the NDS, look at the Wii, look at the 3DS.

Every generation of hardware consists of outdated bargain-bin components with exorbitant mark-up.

Just because everything else over tech(ps3 starting at like ~$799), most of the time over price(Apple like the ipad), doesn't mean Nintendo stuff are
"over price outdated bargain-bin components".

How is wii level, glass-less 3D , 3 cameras, two screen, and motion sensor with gyro sensor, as a small size portable at it's price over price?

Stop your hating.

Because the original PSP was almost as powerful? 6 years ago?

It's most blatant with the NDS. It used absolute trash hardware, from the processors to the bare-minimum RAM allotment and god-awful networking chipset. Just try to use a homebrew binary as simple as an email parser, and you see how utterly ridiculous it is.

Now I'm not speaking on any other aspect of these devices, merely the hardware. If you can't see what I'm saying, then its quite obvious you're disregarding reality in favor of company favoritism.

Actually, Sony sells PS3s at a loss, while Nintendo makes a profit on every console they sell. I think it's quite obvious what Urza means by this point.

 

[Vigilante]

New idea,
Buy the first ipad and use the remaining to buy a 3DS

3DS is much more powerful(I mean come on, it has will level graphics in 3D and it portable) and has more stuff than psp, so I do not see your point.

From wiki the ds was $149.99 at launch with the psp at $249.99 (also had the nerve to put the psp go at $249.99) (3DS can do much more at it price, making it a very fair price) at launch.

Ds had a mic, two screens (one touch screen, which for Apple that would have been $150 alone), and big upgrade for gameboy series. PSP already made as powerful as console(PlayStation of course) made portable and they both got their price to match. You looking at the psp vs ds and mark the ds hardware outdated which isn't right.

What has that got to do with anything? It isn't Nintendo fault they try to pull over tech stuff way a head of it time. Nintendo didn't go from gba straight
to 3DS, they wait when the technology cheaper to make. Pulling stuff together and pricing it fairly.

I mean Sony could have waiting when the time was right or actually price it at how much they had to make it at that time, which would have been over
$1000 dollars.

 

[bigpaws]

Get a real system, get a 3ds. dont fall to the cheapo games on the ipad store
the 3ds is much better and has the potential to be great as a system for 5+ years
i products as said, are always outdated the next year
dont fall to that treatment

buy a 3ds and some amazing game such as street fighter and oot

Its sad how horribly delusional you are, and how little you actually know about the hardware you're trying to act the authority on.

the ipad 2 has angry birds

it is the SUPERIOR GAMING DEVICE

Which is exactly the point. Sony didn't mark up the price for their hardware, therefore selling their products at a loss. This means that PS3 hardware cannot be over priced, as they are selling them for cheaper than it was to manufacture it.

Meanwhile, Nintendo, as you said, waited until the hardware was "cheaper to make", as per your words. They sell their products at a higher price than it cost to manufacture it, thus marking up the price. Therefore, Nintendo products, looking strictly at hardware alone and nothing else, are more overpriced than Sony products.

None, get an NGP when available

When I said over price I meant Apple products not the ps3.

Sony is selling it cheaper now because all that powerful hardware is cheaper to make. If they went for cheaper hardware to begin with then they wouldn't
have to be selling at a lost like Nintendo.


If Nintendo didn't wait than the $3DS made after the game boy series would have be way more expensive. People well complain and would had to sell it
at a lose.

Nintendo doesn't go "Hey let slap all this nice tech together doesn't matter the cost", they go "Hey let slap this relatively cheaper tech to make
the customers happy and make a fair profit".

If you can accomplish this without cutting your own face off in frustration, then I'll concede that the NDS' hardware isn't absolute shit.
