Which Three Should I Buy? iPad, iPhone 3GS, Nintendo DSi XL, PSP GO, PSP 3000, and Xbox 360 Elite?

I am a current PS3 Slim and Nintendo Wii owner. I have never had any of these systems before which is the reason why i want to pick the best three as possible. So, i never had an iPad (because it came out today) Never had an iPhone, Never had a Nintendo DS, Never had any kind of PSP, And Never had any Xbox 360 before ever. So, if everybody who answers this question reads this, i would really appreciate it. Okay, lets start off with the Apple iPad. I want the Apple iPad because it is new and just came out today. Everybody wants an iPad if they do not have one, and it is the most poular thing out there right now, and it has a 10.3 Inch screen display. Now, i really think that the iPad might have some bugs in it since it just came out, but i think that Apple takes care of the viruses and bugs because they are one of the best companies out there. But, i really like the iPhone because this will be my first phone and my parents had approved on it which took a very long time to do. The iPhone has games, music, apps. and a lot more. So, if i buy the iPad and the iPhone i think that it would be very stupid of me to do that because the iPad is the same exact thing as the iPhone accept it has a larger screen. Plus, I already have a PC. Anyway, the Nintendo DSi XL is amazing with a 93% larger screens than the Nintendo DS Lite. But, what stinks is that a few days before the Nintendo DSi XL came out Nintendo announced that they will release the Nintendo 3DS sometime between Now and March 31st 2011. So, it could be released in a year. Plus, i heard that it will replace the whole Nintendo DS series, even the Nintendo DSi XL. My parents are convinced to let me buy the Nintendo DSi XL right now, and then buy teh Nintendo 3DS in a year because i am buying everything from my money. So, should i buy the Nintendo DSi XL and the Nintendo 3DS or just the Nintendo DSi XL because the Nintendo 3DS might not be amazing, or should i wait and buy the Nintendo 3DS? Now, to the PSP Series. I like the PSP 3000 because it has a large 4.3 Inch Screen. But, the problem is that Sony mught discontinue the PSP 3000 because it is getting very old and the lifespan is almost over. So, if any of you say that not all of the UMD Games are on the PlayStation Network for you to download for the PSP GO, well you would be wrong BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE GAME THAT I LIKE ON UMD IS AVAILABLE ON PLAYSTATION NETWORK, so that should not be a big problem, also pricing is not an issue at all. But, here comes the problem, my dad told me that since the Nintendo 3DS is coming out, Sony might come out with a newer version of the PSP to compete with the Nintendo 3DS, because when Nintendo released the Nintendo DSi, they released the PSP GO six months after, to compete. Also, yesterday tehre was some news that sony might come out with a new PSP because some guy said it by accident, and they might announce it at E3 2010. So, i have talked enough about the PSP so lets go to the Xbox 360 Eltie. I am a huge fan of the Halo Series, Fable Series, and a huge fan of Xbox Live. But, you know how the Xbox was released in 2005, and the Elite came out in 2007, well the Elite was the same thing as the Xbox 360 Pro, but they were black and had 120GB. So, litterly the Xbox 360 came out in 2005. But, since it is the oldest console in this generation, i am afraid that Xbox might come out with a new system maybe in 2011, or 2012. Also because they make a price drop every year and now they are $299.99 and if next year they are $199.99 then they are too cheap and the company would have to make a new system. But, do they have to make a price drop? Or can they just keep it at $299.99 and then when Project Natal make it $399.99, so will they keep it expensive or decrease the price and come out with a new Xbox. Because in 2004 i got a PlayStation 2 Slim and i thought that it was too old, but then people said that it wasn't then two years later the PS3 came out and i was sony dissapointed that i wasn't able to get the PS3 because i wasted my money on the PS2 and my parents didn't let me, but now i got the PS3 Slim on Black Friday so it was not a huge problem, but will Xbox come out with a new system because i do not want to miss out on the new one. And should i just be happy with what i have and not buy teh Xbox 360 Elite. Anyway, thank you for those who read this all. Ohhh, just remembered that if i buy teh iPad i will buy the 16GB Wi-Fi version which is $499.00. Who ever explains the most and gives the best detail i will give five stars and ten points, and if you write two sentences you are not going to get the best answer. So, thanks everybody and type a lot!!!

P.S: I do not know if the iPad is the same exact thing as the iPhone because then it would not be worth it, also, i already have a PC!

    1. You'll be fine with just the PS3 for now.

    2. Get an Android OS phone, such as the HTC Evo 4G that will be out this summer. Read this Engadget article on it, they cover it well. http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/htc-evo-4g-is-s...

    3. For a PMP, you should go with a Zune HD. Since you can just keep putting 32 GB cards into the HTC Evo, you might not even need a PMP; so wait until the Zune HD 2 is released with the Tegra 2 chip. I have a Zune HD now and it's great.

    Also about the phone, Qualcomm expects dual core, 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon powered phones to be on the market by the end of this year. So you might want to hold out. The iPhone HD is also supposed to be released this year, and the ARM processor may be dual core. Just wait it out a few months.

    Last but not least, you're better off buying a full blown gaming desktop than the top priced iPad. Or at least buy a nice laptop. Here's something to think about concerning the iPad. The apps are much, much more expensive http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/editorial-ipad-...

    tbh i really think the ipad is the most total waste of your money. And ipod does not have a phone it so its not exactly like a n iphone no calling or texting. X-box is coming out with a new system so hold on to that :]. Psp im not so sure. im not a big fan of the psp so i wouldnt know. Nintendo ds's ive had first gen and the nintendo ds lite both of then sit in a box and i never played with them. Mostly a childs toy to sit in a waiting room and fiddle with. Psp>dslite. You have a ps3 nice choice. Iphone is alot more worth ipad. The iphone with at&t Cost 50 to 100 dollars a month. I am a proud iphone owner and the ipad just doesnt compete with the iphone. im 12 so i might not get the best answer. I hope i helped you out!

    id go with iphone. The PS3 i think is so much better then the 360 because live is free and the games are pretty much the same. I'm a 360 owner and the only reason I have one because my friends are dumb and all bought the 360 and I want to play with them. If i could go back in time id buy a ps3. 360 break a lot and they will piss you off good. But back to the iphone. you can put itunes on it call internet and it's portable unlike the ipad. dont get a psp the games suck and are bad graphics. and dont get a dsi the games are made for small children

    Ipad is an over sized ipod touch. I wouldn't waste money on it. The iphone 3gs is a great phone, but has a very expensive plan & the 3G is also expensive. If you want to keep shelling out money go for it. The 3ds(if it does not get delayed) WILL have backward compatibility, meaning it will play DS games on it. Therefore buying a dsi XL would not be worth it unless you want it NOW. The PSP go has a smaller screen, and in my opinion, a much worse version of the PSP 3000. The PSP 3000 is a good portable, but the movies on it are meh, the internet is slow, and most of the games are meh. The DS has better ratings than the PSP. The Xbox 360 does not plan on releasing a new console, and has great games. There are a lot of xbox 360 exclusive games the PS3 does not offer (Gears of War, Halo, etc.) The Xbox live is much better than the crappy PS3 network, and has more features. A great console with few flaws. I would get the Xbox 360

    Iphone is my choice, because is iPad have less functions then an iPhone 3GS and as you mentioned it is just came out and for sure will have bugs and a lot of errors in it. So regarding the iPad I would recommend to wait for an upgraded version and than buy it, and for now stay with I'm staying with iPhone.

    Also I would recommend you to check out this website http://www.stiwin.com/, because they offer awesome deals on products that are in your list and if you are lucky enough you can get all of them for the price of iPhone.

    Alex.
