DSixl or 3Ds?

I am wanting to get my young son a hand held video game for his birthday, honestly it has been well over a dozen years since I played them myself. My little guy plays games on my iPad very well for his age. I do know the 3ds is the newer of the 2 but I see better deals on bundles for dis. Price is not an issue. Thanks for you input.

I'm getting my dses the 3DS because that is what they want. They have played with a DSi XL and they tried out the 3DS and they both like the 3d capabilities of it, and the new Mario games that came out are specifically for it, and they love Mario.

I saw in the TRU book that the $199 3DS bundle with Mario Kart 7 will come with a $40 GC and a Mario character stylus 4 pack. I think that runs until 12/10. The red one is pictured on the box, not sure if teh bundle comes in other colors.

Target (online only) will have the Mario kart bundle with a MK case, cleaning cloth and stylus for $189.99. You can pick any color 3DS.

3DS is the next generation of Nintendo handheld which means that if you want to play new Nintendo handheld games that are being released in this and coming years, it is the one to get. I think some people think that it is just an original DS with 3D capabilities and that is not the case. While it is backwards compatible with the DS and thus those games can be played on it, it is a significantly more powerful machine than the DS/DS Lite/DSi/DSiXL line of the past few years. Nintendo has not done a good job of making this clear. It should have been named DS2 or something similar.
