Nothing is happening with the psp..

So I was thinking about getting a ds for christmas because nothing new is happening with the psp in terms of games, all that exiting is Littlebigplanet will come out and Im not counting on that being 9.0+. So I was looking at the ds and I saw Bowsers inside story Pokemon heartgold or something and I have played Emerald and Firered and enjoyed them so should I get a DS? If so should I get the dsi because of the technology advancement or the ds lite because it will be cheaper and this year because my family may be getting a mac so it will be a little bit of a cheap christmas this year.

ds' are way better than psps. they just have a lot of better games (not that it doesnt have a **** ton of *****y games). get a ds lite, i dont see any reason to have the dsi to be honest with u. get shin agamis devil survivor, fire emblem, one of the castlevanias, or the upcoming kingdom hearts

Well Psp is good but it just needs more games. And also I really want to get back to playing pokemon. But Ijust found out that here in Canada its 140 dollars. I hope it drops in price more.

pokemon platinum is fun, i personally think pokemon is too easy of an rpg, but get platinum it was fun

Get a DS but this belongs in SW

the DS finished off the PSP last year, the amount of good games from DS to PSP is ugly, its like 90 to 30 in the last two years on metacritic in terms of A/AA/AAA

Sure, go for a DS. After the initial shock of spending a lot at one time wears down, you can focus on getting good, cheap games, like the ones mentioned in the recommendation thread.

Um...no. The DS' are not way better than PSPs.

By the way, the PSP has Castlevania Dracula Chronicles X which has Symphony of the Night, which is better than any DS Castlevania game, it has Jeanne D`Arc which is much better than the DS' Fire Emblem (I know, I have both and Jeanne D`Arc is much better). And the PSP is getting a Persona game and a much better version of Kingdom Hearts called Birth by Sleep.

So no...the DS is not way better than the PSP. They are about equal, but which one is better goes more by which system fits someone's taste.

I was just comparing the same type of games the previous poster was recommending. And the PSP has plenty of games. I can name one or two games alone and those blow away a dozen DS games combined.

Don't get me wrong, I love the DS. I have both the DSLite and DSi. But it irks me when DS fanboys take the system wars route and bash the PSP when they never even had one or considered to play its games.

The only thing the DS has that I prefer are the Dragon Quest games and maybe New Super Mario Bros.. That's really about it. If it wasn't for those, I'd probably claim the PSP is my preferred handheld.

That's why I feel both is about equal. I can't believe why saying both are great would upset DS owners. What's wrong with loving both and enjoying both systems for the great games they offer?

And look at my sig in the now playing list. Obviously, I enjoy and love both. But also, look at the variety of games. You can't play games like Soul Calibur Broken Destiny or Dissidia Final Fantasy on the DS. That's a fact. The DS can't handle games like that. But although the PSP can handle all those Dragon Quest remakes, it's not on the PSP, so that's where the DS comes in. Also, New Super Mario Bros. and some other Nintendo first party games are great.

So in my opinion DS = PSP.

That shouldn't cause a system wars debate but it should be reasonable and encourage even the mose core Nintendo/DS fanboy or anyone looking for a good handheld to give a PSP a try as well.

jeanne d'arc is fun, but is in no way shape or form better than fire emblem

I'll admit that the PSP is actually having some solid games coming out like a new Metal Gear Solid but I'd go with the DS because the PSP is for hardcore gamers only.flowersjf

psp for hardcore gamers? lol no. DS has the most and best games for people who game a lot, aka hardcore gamers

actually i owned it and beat it, u havent played fire emblem obviously

ill agree, the gba ones were better, and joanne is a strong title

If you ask me, PSPs are, just not fun. I played with my cousin's PSP once, and I really didn't like it. I say get a DS. XD

For one, I love the Nintendo Wi-Fi, and the software selection. =) (And the touch screen of course)

And even the game action. It's really fun.

I played it once, but I did play every single one of his PSP games, and videos in the duration. I meant to say that though. :P

You're right though. I'm just stating an opinion though, if I may do that. :D

Hardcore gaming? I only use my REALLY old game consoles for those. I got a new system, to take a break from hardcore games. =|

I did give it a chance. I thought it looked cool in the commercials. But, it was kinda bland. :(

I am in no way trying to disrespect your opinion, I highly respect everyones' opinion.

I remember I have the original DS. Another reason I like DS, and DS lite is how there is a way to play all my old (37) GBA games. X)

Lilyanne46

He didn't tell me you could download stuff on a PSP. XD I'm going to his house to play again. I'm going to test your opinion. ^-^

However, there is sadness for me, when I found out the DSi cannot play GBA games. But I like the other features. I would get one, but I don't have $180 to spend on yet another console. :P
