Alright, this is the one

>> No.10823997

should I get a 3DS?
I already have a DSi, and for around the cost of a good condition new 3ds I could just get a handheld that can run ps2 and gamecube games
honestly it seems like the only reason to get one would be for 3ds exclusives, are they that good that it's worth getting one to play them?
also I guess just the novelty of owning one, and it's probably a good idea if I get one, to get one now before prices are even more inflated
