Nintendo 3DS

Sure, you got your 3D TVs, but you're stuck with annoying Glasses that enable you to see the 'third demension'

Sure, you go back, there was that short-lived Atari system, i think i played Mario Tenis on that thing once.

So what is so special about this little doo daa that's roughly the same size as the Nintendo DS Lite?

Don't need no glasses.

Sure, I don't have any of the Launch games yet for my 3DS (nor am i planning on them right away), but i must say, the 3D effect is quite impressive, one of those 'seeing is believeing' phrases... there's enough to do with the system to see enough of the 3D.

Is it worth the $250 plus whatever state tax you may or may not pay? well, with the current games if that's your thing, i've heard mixed reactions about them, and right now the 3DS is a replacement for my old Zelda: Phantom Hourglass DS Lite speical that was so well loved the top screen 'whited' out on me, and the Black DS that i borrowed from my brother, about a few months older then mine, had a busted L button and just recently the hindge broke so the top screen is 'loose' until they start releaseing and coming out with new titles, which don't come out for a few more months... maybe the Virtual Console when it's released in May will have something to pass the time.

perhaps the only major downside is the 5-8 hour lifespan, but when you think about 3D, perhaps it's better if it starts dieing about that point, perhaps it'll force one to actually get off the system to avoid migraines :)
