I know this thread is probably at least 2 months early...but i'm anticipating to buy my first handheld game console.

3DS looks like it's going to be super sucessful. Backed by some great titles and a mod community and it's guaranteed to sell like hot cakes. I'm just iffy on the MSRP..it will be $300. March 2011 seems to be the release date.

I'm also due for a new phone soon so the upcoming playstation phone also caught my eyes. Right now it's all rumours but looks like it's finally happening. I think the unofficial specs look a little weak but i'm surprised so far it can benchmark at 60fps.

* 4-inch, 854x480 display
* 1GHz Snapdragon, possibly the QSD8255 found on the Desire HD
* Qualcomm Adreno 205 GPU
* 512MB RAM
* 512MB ROM
* 5 megapixel camera with LED flash
* 1,500mAh battery

looks like it will come Q2 2011.

I know they are very different gadgets..but which are you planning to get?
