I recently got my 3DS (half of it out of my own pocket and the other half a birthday present) and I can say it's worth it. So since I love my 3DS so much, I'm hoping the forum will treat me kindly. ^^ (Strangely enough, one of the big things I love is that it supports WPA wireless security; I hated having to switch back and forth between WEP and WPA. <w<)

Oh, and since the 3DS took a big chunk from me, I've only really gotten to buy Zelda: OoT, but Pokemon is keeping me preoccupied, too.

Welcome to the forums man! (:
I was the same way as you at first, I bought OoT 3D with my Aqua Blue 3DS and kept myself preoccupied with Pokemon White (and HeartGold) as well.
