Was the 3DS worth it?

I could have Checked a review for this question but I'd rather hear from customers not an editor in IGN. Was the 3DS worth it? I don't want to hear Andy "well if your into these games" no thanks I want to hear what you think.

    Well, I have own the Nintendo 3DS since April 6 2011.

    And it was 100% Worth it to me.

    Because I can play music (even with the system close).

    I can LOWER the VOLUME of 3D so it does NOT give you headaches for the first time in your life (if you're the kind of person to ever get headaches from 3D, otherwise just turn the 3D all the way up).

    And I can also turn the 3D OFF Completely.

    And 3D is good for working out our eye muscles & brain to keep them in shape as shown in this link:

    http://www.aoa.org/x17309.xml

    And it has a Joystick.

    And all the 3DS Games, including the Downloadable 3D Games are in 7.1 Surround Sound and I have been using my "PLANTRONICS GAMECOM 777" to play everything on my 3DS when I am at home, and the best example of 7.1 Surround Sound so far for me is Zelda 3D and 2nd is Thor 3DS (I just leave the separate microphone plug, unplugged, because the 3DS has a Very Excellent Built-in microphone, but also there is no place to plug it in for the 3DS).

    And the Nintendo 3DS does everything in 60 fps (which makes it the only electronic that plays Video Games in 60 fps, because all other electronics only do 30 fps for everything)

    And the Nintendo 3DS has downloadable 3D Music videos from today's American music artist which I have already downloaded the 3 free 3D Music Videos to watch anywhere and the 3DS has 3D "Blue Man Group" video and College Humor (in 3D) with the FREE "Nintendo Video" App that you can download (but its 4 3D Videos at a time and they replace them once in a while) and I can download cheap downloadable 3D Apps & 3D games costing from 99 cents to $5.99 and the Nintendo 3DS also has FREE downloadable 3D Apps & 3D Games, which I have already downloaded 3 Free 3D Apps and I have downloaded 2 Free 3D Games and the 3DS has a 3D Camera and I have already used the 3DS 3D Camera to take 3D photos and I have uploaded some of my 3D footage online using the Nintendo 3DS's Web Browser to upload my 3D footage online and I have used my 3DS Web Browser to also download other peoples 3D footage from the Internet on my 3DS Web Browser and I have view all sorts of 3D content on 3D Websites online on my 3DS's Web Browser and I have use my 3DS 3D Camera to play 3D Augmented Reality games as well and it's all in 3D without the Glasses using the 3DS 3D Camera and It has beautiful 3D HD graphics that equal to that of a 3D HD version of Wii Graphics and I have Streamed 3D Videos Online on my 3DS in the eShop and I have also Watch 3D Trailers for upcoming 3D movies coming to Theaters in 3D and I have done all of this in 3D Without the Glasses.

    And the 3DS with a Wi-Fi Update can RECORD 3D Videos in 60 fps (unlike other camcorders, that only Record in 2D Only and in up to 30 fps only).

    So for $249 (when I got it, but it's $169 now) for Nintendo 3DS I can look forward to buy the greatest Games ever, and all in 3D Without the Glasses like Cave Story 3D and Kid Icarus and Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 using the MOTION SENSORS to play the game like if you were turning a real steering wheel to turn the Kart left & right and also play such other 8 GB 3D Games like TheatRhytem Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts 3D and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D and Crush 3D and Shinobi and Animal Crossing and Rodea the Sky Soldier and Michael Jackson: the Experience 3D and Ridge Racer 3D and Super Street Fighter 4 3D and Monster Hunter 4 and Golden Sun 4 and Star Fox 3D and Zelda 3D and Sonic Generations 3D and Tetris 3D and Resident Evil: Revelations and Tales of the Abyss 3D and Tekken 3D which also has the 3D Movie Tekken the Movie 3D in it to watch and also play other 8 GB 3D HD games as Spider Man 3D and 100% of the 3DS games are in HD 3D Without the Glasses.

    Also, the screen is perfectly fine, in terms of resolution. Anyway, it’s the pixel density that matters, not the actual number of pixels. The 3DS pixel density is MUCH sharper than an average HD TV of, for example, 32 inches. It’s perfectly fine. Not everything has to be 1080p you know. Since 1080p at 32 inches is worse than just 240p on the 3DS.

    And they're making Angry Birds 3D as a downloadable game.

    And the 3DS is getting DLC (Downloadable Content) like Xbox Live for a bunch of 3DS games to add content to the game later on for Free.

    And 1 of the Free 3D Apps I have downloaded was Netflix.

    And Netflix is getting 3D Movies in the next few months.

    And 100% of the people who have said that they get headaches from 3D, have said that after up to 1 week of using the 3DS they NO LONGER get headaches anymore and that they now play with the 3D all the way up 100% all the time, non-stop.

    But I have never had any problem with the 3D at all, but each person has a different experience with the 3D ON during the first week.

    And you can now pay to download 3D Videos on the 3DS.

    And the 3DS is getting Hulu Plus before the end of this year (2011) as a Free downloadable App and Hulu already has 3D Content.

And the 3DS has a 512 MHz Micro Processor. And the 3DS Wireless is 2.4 GHz.

    Wow that person there who answered before me said a lot :O

    Yeah I'd say so. I bought one, its pretty cool, though it might give you a headache till your eyes get used to staring at it for along time. :) still i like mine. Though theres going to be a new PSP thing called "PS VITA" that looks even cooler :D i wish I'd have saved my money for that. Its suppose to come out sometime in February. Both are things with touch screens. I mean, the 3DS may have more games but to me the Ps Vita looks so much cooler.

    it does look 3d and if you don't like 3d, there is an adjuster switch where you can make it 2d. the follow on do the 3ds did not have enough changes to make it worth while to upgrade though.

    can still play regular 3ds games as well as the game boy games from the previous model.
