Definitely the 3DS, there's no reason to have a PS3 if you already have a PC - and four (!?) Xboxes...
All four xboxs are at the pleasure of Microsoft of course :P

I wouldn't bother with either. Wait until the PS4 is announced, see if it'll be backwards compatible, and then pick up a PS3 if not. Honestly, unless you've missed out on the PlayStation line in general, I don't think it's worth a few hundred dollars just to play a few games. But if you go back and play the older PS2 HD remakes or PS1 PSN games, and all that, you might get your worth out of it.
I know that the 360/PS3 cycle is coming to an end but it's more than likely I'll be picking up a 'Xbox 720' over a PS4 next gen just cause that's what all my friends have - so I'm not really thinking about waiting a year to buy a PS4 and hope it's backward compatible. I've had a PS1 and PS2 but I was pretty young for both so the games I played on them were mostly stuff like Rayman and some Dinosaur fighting game...etc.
Thinking about it I just want to ask, can you buy like PS2 games and PS1 games on the PS3 online store? That'd be pretty awesome..and it seems like the way to go would be a 500gb PS3 over a 12GB.

I would wait for a 3DS redesign before picking it up (Mainly for battery life). PS3 is a good choice, and it plays Blu-Rays if you're into that.
That's a really good point, the 3DS has been out a while now and I know Nintendo love pumping out redesigns..has there been ANY news at all on a redesign though? Looking at the dates between the DS / DS Lite / DSi it was about two years and change..
I think I'm leaning more toward the PS3, but the fact this generation is so close to ending does make me think maybe I'm better of waiting to see what's coming out and if the PS4 is backwards compatible..Also though if the 3DS is close to a redesign, I could totally see them dropping one in time for Pokemon X & Y - it might be better of waiting for that.
Oh I hate decisions...but thanks guys for your feedback it's certainly made me think about some factors I hadn't even considered before :D.
