Viva Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 well if you like anything portable, then get the psp because you can watch movies, listen to music, play games, store photos and videos, and you get an internet browser. but the battery life is crap.

Charles Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 You are idiots. Neither system "sucks." Save that nonsense for the school yards. I mean, why make a thread like this if you already have a preconception? When creating a thread like this you should remain completely objective. It seems as if all along you simply intended to start up the DS vs. PSP debates we've seen countless times. I'll outline the situation for those who may actually be seriously considering a purchase between the two. In reality, both systems have a wealth of quality games. Buy a PSP if you're interested in portable console-style games or the system's multimedia abilities. There are also some nice original titles coming along like Loco Roco. The Valkyrie Profile game looks beautiful too, if you're interested in RPGs. Additionally, titles like a near current generation quality Grand Theft Auto in portable format is a really attractive selling point if you're interested in that series. If "Me and My Katarmi" turns out all right, it'll be another reason to take the dive. Recently I've heard that the control issues aren't as problematic as they were first made out to be, so I remain optimistic. The DS on the other hand offers ample originality. The touch screen is starting to be used to good effect in games like" Kirby's Canvas Curse", "Trauma Center: Under the Knife" and the latter part of Phoenix Wright (which is one of the best portable games ever). You've also got all the successful Nintendo franchises to choose from and some fun, if not wholly original third party offerings, like Castlevania. I've also had a blast with "Advance Wars Dual Strike". The DS is absolutely perfect for strategy games. Obviously, you have the entire GameBoy Advance library to consider as well. Depending on how big your collection of GBA games, backwards compatibility could be very enticing. Both systems really deserve a fair share of praise. Whereas the PSP offers many multimedia capabilities that the DS does not, the DS is designed better. It's more durable and has a longer battery life. So, there's always a give-and-take between both. They each offer advantages and disadvantages over one another. And, as has been said here many times, each offers a different experience. I enjoy both very much. If you must decide between them consider whether durability or multimedia features are more important to you, along with the kinds of games you will prefer to play. Or get an N-Gage. Some of the games have been looking pretty nice lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure the PSP will catch up its still early. The advantage the PSP has over the DS is the wide range of stuff it could do. Music, Movies, and games are all in one. However to really get everything you need the $80 dollar memory stick. What im trying to say is both systems have their pros and cons. Saying one system sucks means your a biased noob. Look at both systems with an equal eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to say that ninety-percent of the games are "crap" and leave it at that is kind of silly. A system should always be judged by its best games. And, to be honest, both the DS and the PSP have their fair share of stinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was saying is right now the PSP library isnt as revolutioary as Sony said it would be and that kind of ticks me off. The PSP has its fair share of great games like Lumines and GTA(despite technical proplems) the rest are decent to bad. The DS also has alot of bad titles. Its just right now DS has alot more and better software. The PSP will catch up I didnt put $250 into a system that I know will bomb. We will just have to give it time.

shinji172 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 In my opinion, Id go for the DS for now. Whilst the PSP looks to be a powerfull machine with a good lineup of games on the way, The current price for the console alone (nevermind the extra for the memory stick) is a bit much. On the otherhand, the DS has a lot of unique, fun games that cannot be put onto any other format (e.g.Trauma centre: Under the Knife), Yet remains affordable. Dont get me wrong, I dont hate the PSP. I Just think that its a bit expensive at the moment. Personally, Id wait until the price drops and the PSP has built up a greater lineup (probably around next christmass).
