Still use the 35xx most though cuz of garlicOS and the screen that works in even the brightest sunlight. (Provided the game is not too dark)

I'm thinking of getting this, after purchasing the RG35XX. I wanted something that would work out of the box, with no modding needed.

I think people are just nitpicky on certain things, and really, it looks like it does everything you need it to do. I really wanted a horizontal system that would no break the bank and have the same reliability of the RG35XX, but with the upgrades in the RG35XX+.
