Anyone who has either of these? I could use some advice. I've never owned anything like this before mostly wanting to play psp and the occasional ps2 rpg or gc zelda if I can I honestly don't know the capabilities of what I can and can't play

I have the 3 and I think it's a great handheld, but it is nowhere close to being able to play GameCube Zelda at a stable framerate (the 3+ is of course better, but I don't think it's significantly better). I've only tried one PSP game but it didn't play amazing. You'll have an okay time if you like turn-based RPGs. But I think if those are the consoles you're after and you like action games I'd get something a little pricier with a better chip. You can also just wait for the tech and price to reach a goldilocks zone, these handhelds seem very popular right now and are being innovated on constantly.
