Pretty interesting thread, the whole thing about looking 'cool' whilst playing takes me back to my youth in the early 90s.. Sonys marketing with the ps1 was phenomenal, they dragged gaming kicking and screaming into popular culture, that's for sure. Wipeout with Firestarter was surreal.
In terms of the 3ds, I got an xl last year when it was part of a deal with some free games. Couldn't say no to Mario kart and 3d land. I just actually got luigis mansion 2 for 18 quid, looking forward to trying that. Just this past weekend I got dead or alive for under 5 quid, there are some bargains to be had.
What's the verdict on street fighter 4 and pilotwings on the platform? Should I go for them?
