Finally picked up a 3DS. I told the wife it was a present from her, as i bought her an iPad for our wedding anniversary last Sunday.

I'm really impressed with the system. Nintendo have sorted out alot of connection and interface problems since the original DS debuted years ago (i bought an original DS on launch and have been playing a DS lite for years).

The 3D effect is better than i expected. I seen it in store last year but it didn't impress me. But once you get it in your hands and get comfortable it really starts to shine. The menu is clean and there's plenty to do on the console even before inserting a game cartridge.

I paid $198 from JB Hi-Fi as i got them to price match the EB Games deal. I also bought Super Mario 3D Land and Pullblox from the N-store, both great games and i can't wait to buy Zelda next pay. Looks like the X360 will be gathering dust for a while now.
