Hi guys. I'm thinking it's time to buy a new system in the next few weeks. I'm torn between the PS 3 and 3 ds. I did own 3 ds for a short while and liked it but I sold it because the 1st party content was a lot further down the road than I thought plus I was in a bit of a pinch and thought what the hell.
I'm thinking 3 ds for the following reasons: super Mario land 3 ds, Mario kart 7 (and any Mario games to follow as well as games like star fox and ridge racer. The portability is a big plus too. It would be nice to watch movies, surf the web and play games wherever I am.
The ps3 has some games I would really like to try out such as little big planet 1&2 burnout paradise and the ridge racer games.Theres also a nice back catalog with alot of under $20,00 games. The thing that scares me is the red ring issue. I hate to put all that cash into a system and games only to have it crash on me. I talked to the guy at the mom and pop video game sop about how many they see come in for repair and he said they get quite a few every week with the average repair cost around $150.00.
The other factor is cost, I could get the 3ds for 170.00 or the ps3 and a three year warranty for 300.00. I am not doing great financially so I want to make a good choice here. What do you guys think? And what are your experiences with PS 3's crashing? Thanks.
