urluckyday Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Hello! Post here about which handheld you like more. I personally like the DS just a bit more because I've always been a Nintendo fan, but the PSP is amazing too, so I like them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hidden One Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Like you said I like the DS a bit better cause I've always been a Nintendo fan but I think the PSP has more feature. (Lets no turn this into a flame war or into a Nintendo vs. Sony fight or any company to that effect.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikinor Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I like the PSP better because it has better graphics and already has a ton of games out for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 At this point the NDS is lacking games worth buying... and the PSP is a ripoff becuase you all might as well get a PS2 or wait, save your cash and buy a PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 At the moment, I like the DS more because it's something new, and doesn't cost $300 dollars. It's really a matter of tastes. I'd get a PSP if it wasn't $300, but at that price, it's stupid. Sure the PSP can play music, movies, and stuff... but that's all useless extra features I don't need. Plus, the battery life for the PSP has to be horrible... not very Portable is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lieutenant_kettch Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 yeah, they both stink at this point, the DS as no games, the psp is $250US, and has a battery life of like 4-6 hrs.... if they drop the price and add a long life battery, it would own NDS, or if NDS releases a game....

Lieutenant_kettch Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Originally posted by Chase Windu I've heard a lot of negatives about both. The Nintendo DS still used carts and has suckier graphics than the PSP. The PSP may use discs and has better graphics than the DS but it's built poorly and can break easily. I'm just going to wait and see what the next wave of handhelds brings. speaking of carts and discs brings up a good point, in a console, yes i want discs. On my computer, i want discs, but in a handheld? i want something durable enough to carry all over the place without worrying. carts are durable, discs scratch...sure, the graphics are a poorer on carts, which is why modern consoles use discs, but if they are being jostled around in your pocket, or backpack, etc, the graphics aren't going to be the problem if the disc gets scratched or broken, both of which are a very plausible possibility when they are being ported (couldn't think of the present tense of portable:D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 For cartridge... Mario64 DS has some nice graphics... and I love playing it on my DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 The biggest problem I have with the PSP is that it's going to kill 2D gaming. The handheld world is the last refuge for old skool 2D gaming and encouraging more 3d over 2d is gonna kill old skool gaming once and for all. But of course no one cares, if a 2d Metroid game comes out on the DS all those gamers out there who don't like Metroid will critisise it just cause it's 2d and just plain all out say it's crap because of that reason.

Astrotoy7 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Originally posted by Lynk Former The biggest problem I have with the PSP is that it's going to kill 2D gaming. thats crazy talk. People always have a softspot for retro stuff, thus the releases of classic anthologies I think the psp is costly, but since Im getting one disrt cheap, I would would pick it over the DS any day... It already has ports of alot of the games I play on my ps2...soccer/golf, dynasty warriors, final fantasy title on its way All iam making sure I get is one of tjose cases that has extra battery in it, as well as helping to protect that huge a$$ screen during downtime mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 XD Yes, your PS2 and big TV isn't good enough to play those games. Get a PSP so you can play them on a smaller battery powered version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 You're right Lynk. I mean, why pay 250 bucks on something that you are just playing your PS2 titles on? The DS has WAY more original titles that you can't find on the Gamecube, but the PSP only has a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I'm not that much happier with the NDS. The best launch title they had down here was a port, a very fun port with great mini games, but a port no less. Nintendo really should've rethought their stance there and released a completely original Mario game to launch the DS. Other than that it has a whole flood of fun lil games, but most are not what I'm looking for. I'm waiting for those 2D RPGs and such XD There aren't many games I'm waiting for, a 2D Metroid game, a Zelda game or two, Another Code and anything else that catches my eye. Anywayz, I think the general idea with the NDS and PSP is... if you want to play games that you can get on your console, but on a handheld. Get a PSP. If you want to play the kind of games that has been released on the Gameboy series for many many years but with different controls, get a NDS.

Derc Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 After seeing them both in person, they're both mighty impressive!(curse my rich asian friend ) I was also surprised to see him watching anime on the PSP... But the price of it, plus the cost of the memory stick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hidden One Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 The next game that comes out for the DS that is good (I think) is Advance Wars DS but not till October! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how some ppl are saying "OMG why get a PSP if you can play ps2 at home !!" this means they are either school-aged or unemployed... Some people actually leave the house, go on alot of trips. Interstate and overseas. Long drives and plane trips. A PSP would be awesome to take along, along with my pocket pc which I use for music/books/movies.... I have a GBA emu that works a treat on my pocket pc... I have no need for my GBA SP anymore.. mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynk Former Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Only problem with that Astro is that a small percentage actually get a handheld for that reason, the rest are just convinced it's cool to own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Ive said something similar elsewhere but I was at a Lan earlier today where I ran into some international students showin off a cpl of psps.... I had my first hands on play with a psp today !!! Ok, Im a sony fanboi, but the graphics...the size of the screen..... I played GT4 and FIFA soccer and it is truly like having a portable ps2.... awesome.... *cant wait to get one later this year* mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konar Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hand helds suck, get a console. PS3 is comming out, so I'd suggest waiting till then. But it's well worth the wait. a) not only are these consols great for giving the game an atmosphere but, b) they have an inbuilt DVD player, which means you can play DVDs if either your main DVD player is stuffed up or you don't have one at all.
