get the cheaper..
And for what its worth.. It all depends on your age and game experience..
Personally..
I'm 33, and played SH games from the beginning .. Shoot, I played Aces of the deep and Silent Service on my commodore 64
I play games like Arma II and Cliffs of Dover that have fantastic graphics. If you are young and play games like that, even SH4 might be tough to get used to.
SH3, no way in the world as the graphics are... DATED
I saw you said you played SHII so I'm going to assume you will be ok with either.
Both are great games, SHIII-GWX gold, and some other mods though will always have a place in my heart..
I recently went back to it a month or so ago and it still captured my attention.

thats for SHIII and I still believe what I say..
I'm trying to find that feeling for SH4, I'm close, super super close but not yet there..
The mods are great but I think the difference is, Japan was never that good at sinking us (Americans)
In SHIII, its amazing to be 190 meters deep and still getting rained on by charges.. Going deeper and taking a chance because you have no other choice is a feeling I only got in that game..
SH4, is still way too easy, I've yet to be hit by charges, at least that badly.
Also the damage and crew maintenance in SHIII is amazing!! you really feel like you know your crew and need to place them in the best situations.
Maybe I don't know how SH4 works, but it seems everything is automatic and even when getting some damage, it almost doesn't matter where your guys are.
SH4 is still amazing though, I think the graphics IMO are better than SH5, which I went back to a couple months ago (gave up and went to SHIII and now I'm here with SHIV)
IMO.. if you get SH4 now, it might be hard to go backwards and you would be missing out on the best SH series version of the game made.
But if you really don't care about graphics, then by all means go with either one..
