Kindle Fire or the Nintendo 3DS?

Question

I have 300$ and i think the 3DS and the Kindle Fire are the things I am more excited for this Christmas! But I only have enough for only one of them. 3DS is 169.99 in US dollars and the Kindle Fire is 199.99 in US dollars. Which one is better?

Answer 1

If you really like nintendo games or deeper video games in general, get the 3ds, because the kindle fire only has pretty simple games right now, unlike iphone.

But if you're not really into gaming and you just want something to occupy you on the road, the kindle fire.

The browser is way better
the screen is way bigger, so its better for watching movies and tv shows and stuff
the touch screen is more sensitive
the graphics are better (but there aren't really any games that use it)
the pixel density is better
the music player is better
it has access to amazon's full stores of music, movies, magazines and tv shows, giving way more media than 3ds
It has the amazon app store, which has way more stuff than the 3ds store
It has a way faster processor, clocked at 1024 MHZ vs 3ds 512 MHZ
you have unlimited storage via the internet, and it comes with 8 gigabytes.
you can access netlix, hulu, and pandora if you don't like amazon's stuff
its only 200 dollars.

and while the 3ds has a mic, and camera, video chat is wifi only, where you will probably have a computer, so what are you going to use it for.
And while it has cameras, they're really bad and not much use for anything.

So if you're really into long games, get a 3ds, but if you just want something to entertain you, kindle fire.

Hey, Bob, a word of warning about Kindle Fire - it is confirmed at this time that many Kindle Fire units have faulty Wi-Fi and people have a lot of issues connecting to internet according to many user reviews. Amazon's own web site has hundreds of reviews of Kindle Fire's new owners that gave it 1 or 2 star reviews because of choppy/laggy experience they got from this underpowered device. All pro reviewers on the web clearly voiced that Nook Tablet is a much better device with superior performance compared to Kindle Fire. Nook Tablet that had been getting rave pro reviews on the web and it is the best device in it's class. It's got Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life, the best screen, double the RAM and space for apps/photoes/movies, microSD slot and a microphone for Skype (not on Kindle), physical volume controls on the side (not on Kindle),  and much zippier performance during video playback and apps usage than choppy/laggy act of Kindle Fire according to many user and pro's reviews.

Answer 3

Well, I have a 3DS and its pretty fun. The 3D is incredible and Nintendo's warranty is quite some time which is nice. I'm sure that they will start having some sales soon (especially for Black Friday and Christmas itself). If you're more of a gamer, I would go with the 3DS. They actually have a pretty nice online shop which is updated every Thursday or so... The physical games are $40, so a little bit overpriced, but really fun!

But, if you want books to read, I suggest the Kindle.

Get the more expensive one first, so it takes, less time to get the money for the cheaper one!
