To make a long story short, my 3DS was stolen quite awhile ago by an ex girlfriend. I'm going to have some money soon, $150, and was wondering what I should get:

A) Get a 3DS XL. Best Buy has them right now for $150

B Get a New 3DS LL next year. I guesstimate they will cost about $230, which I should have by then.

C) Get some other gaming thing. I am very open minded to possibilities. Just tell me what you recommend.

D) Spend the money on going to the movies a bunch of times and ordering pizza a bunch of times. Lol.

I'd expect the new 3ds prices to be no more then $199 xl and a bit less for standard size.

Perhaps add to your wii u library.

For the love of gods Old and New, DO NOT buy a Vita unless you KNOW what you want from it. I did that and it's awful. I mean, I LOVE my system, but it's just...a raw deal at moments. Plus, $150 is like..Just for the system. Doesn't include the mem card, or PS+(Which is basically mandatory).

Games that refuse to use Gameplay effectively to do anything are like films that refuse to use cinematography in film to do anything.

Wait for a new 3DS XL bundle that comes with a game that you want a cool design on it.

If I did get it, it'd be for Disgaea 4, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, and that new Oddworld. The system doesn't even have a modern Madden.

Two of the games you mentioned suck, and it's not Oddworld or Disgaea 4. :P

Isn't the new Oddworld also on Wii U?

 

Anyway, I'd wait for the New 3DS personally. 

 

Also, if your ex-gf stole it, file a police report and just get it back. Then use the $150 on Wii U games.

Kokirii - I thought Oddworld was already out on PS Vita but not on Wii U. But turns out it's on neither system right now. It's only on PS4. *sigh*

I'd either wait it out and get a New 3DS next year, or do some further research into the Vita and go that route. If you're open to Craigslist/eBay you can pick one up for ~$150 in bundle deals with a memory card, case, and maybe even a game. I absolutely love my Vita, but the games I have on it are, admittedly, not for everyone. My most played games are Persona 4 Golden and Project Diva f, lol. But there's a number of titles that I could highly recommend if you're already in the ecosystem.
