Should I get the 3DS or the iPod Touch?
Which one should I get? The 3DS costs WAY more, but does have 3D, and full scale games. The iPod is cheaper, but only has quicker games, that are cheaper, and can play music and stuff.

IDK. I've been saving for the 3DS, but now I'm having second thoughts.

Re: Should I get the 3DS or the iPod Touch?
Because neither of them are really worth it. If I had to choose one, I'd get the 3DS. The iPod Touch is basically an mp3 player, and mp3s are of terrible quality. There is also the possibility of ALAC files on an iPod Touch, but it's very unlikely that people really know about them.

Re: Should I get the 3DS or the iPod Touch?
Nintendo does not make new DS's as quickly as Apple make iPod Touches. The 3DS cost's more money. The iPod touch has cheaper games then the 3DS. I chose the iPod Touch cause I one one.

Re: Should I get the 3DS or the iPod Touch?
If i had to choose, I'd get the iPod because it's more music oriented and I don't really like video games and whatnot
So yeah it depends if you want game-y stuff or music-y stuff
The iPod has games, and the 3DS can play music files (Apparently), but yeah
It isn't the same

Re: Should I get the 3DS or the iPod Touch?
Neither. I mean, i only have a DS lite, but my best friend has a DSi and she says she really likes it. The iPod touch is sleek and pretty but it's not that exciting. Just get a DSi....You can still go online and stuff. No offense to anyone. I just think that the Dsi is cool. I want one really badly.....plus 3D makes my eyes hurt

Re: Should I get the 3DS or the iPod Touch?
I would get (and I have) an iPod touch because it plays more audio and video files, and the apps. Plus it is also legal to jailbreak it.

Re: Should I get the 3DS or the iPod Touch?
NGP/PSP2. Oh wait, that wasn't one of the choices....
I would say iTouch, only because 3D isn't a good enough gimmick for me. It still has 2 screens and is the same system. And if you never use the 3D, it's just a DS with really nice hardware. Go XL is you want a new DS.

I agree. They just keep cranking out the new devices, don't they?

Re: Should I get the 3DS or the iPod Touch?
Actually, the iPod touch 4 is only 30 bucks less than the 3DS (in America).
I'd say that it really depends on what kind of gamer you are. If you like quick-download digital games, then go with the iPod touch. If you like awesome games with something for everyone, go with the 3DS.

You couldn't be anymore wrong on that one. The 3DS looks the same, but looks aren't everything. The 3DS has graphics quality better than the Wii (I'd like to see a iPod Touch try to even meet Wii quality), and is about 3x powerful overall.

No. You couldn't be any more wrong. It is still a DS. Still a 2 screen system. Only the 3DS has 3D (duh) and more fancy hardware, while the older versions don't. Your still going to get a near-same game play experience on any version of the DS you choose. I'll admit, the 3DS has a better graphics quality and all of that, but 3D is not the 'wave' of the future in gaming.
And tech is always gonna get better, and the 3DS is no exception to this.
In short, the 3DS is still the same DS we all know but with various upgrades.

Re: Should I get the 3DS or the iPod Touch?
The 3DS is way better than the Ipod Touch. They make new Ipod's quickly, and eventually you will want the next version. You will have to pay more money.
