okay, i know i'm really late on this but overall, i'm not a gamer. both product aren't exactly "new new" but they were the only two that i would consider buying.

which one would be better for me?

i want something to keep me busy while on a 22 hour flight.
i'm not willing to pay over $200 (sorry, i have tons of other things to pay for now).
i really don't know much about video games, ect. so i need a device that has easy or universal type games.

i checked prices and the dslite is $130 while the psp is $170.
help please? share your review of the product

[Xarthan]

ds lite i guess, what games do you like to play?

[PDURRR]

i'd get the DS and get the rom emulator thingy so i can DL roms and just play it on the DS
but iono how soon your flight is

[Nuguya?]

DS Lite would be best for you with the Brain Age 2 and Picross... that might hold you off for 22 hours lol...

[RAINii]

the last game i played was super mario.. in 1998 i think? haha
i'm leaving next week. btw, what is a rom emulator ? XD

lol; but oii, everyone seem to think dslite is better for me.
i'll drop by best buy today and get it i guess. i'll look for the two other games too

[MUGETSU]

DS Lite (On lowest light setting). The PSP won't last the entire 22 hours for the flight (Maybe 3-6 depending on what you do with it). The DS Lite won't either, but it'll probably get you near 15-19 hours of continuous play

DS Lite plus R4 and 1GB MicroSD = $130 + $40 + $15 = $185

PSP plus 2GB Memory Stick and Per Game (Unless you get the right firmware version and are able to downgrade) = $170 + $40 + $40 = $250

[RAINii]

what is the R4 and 1GB MicroSD for? XD

[joonleex]

lol hey Rainii hmmm..
i got both of them lmao.
One from a friend on my birthday and one from a gamble lmao.
DS= Presemt PSP= Gambled and won
To tell the truth i like both of them.
But I like psp cause the fact u can put videos and also download games into there lol.
DS is pretty fun but then there is satisfying games i guess.
PSP= Good graphics DS= Fun fun but then ya.... lmao.

for me i would pick psp but then dont trust me lol

[Bathankaal]

I rather advice the Ds, I've been a Nintendo fan for quite a short time, as soon as I tried both PSP and PS3...omg never again oO
To be more objective, it totally depends on if you're looking for cutey games (like animal crossing) or advanced graphisms and sounds...for sure, the DS price is more attractive.

[MeijerBranTM]

get both! haha, but in all actuality, they are both fun in my opinion. The psp has an awesome homebrew scene! Where, the DS is mediocre at best. The DS has a lot more games I would typically play, like your typical nintendo games (i.e. mario, harvest moon, metroid, etc, etc). The PSP's graphics are far superior to the DS in my opinion, but yeah battery life probably wouldn't be as great. Just look at the game scene you want to get into, what type of games you like, and then just buy that one. I wish i had a DS lite but i still just rock the old school Nintendo DS!

same bro lmao i got the fat blue one lmao

[RAINii]

joonieee <333
but sucks how you tell me this now -.-''
i already went and got the ds
it's really cute, i got the crimson/black one
and it came with a case and brain age 2
i also got the screen protector, pens, and the "new" super mario bros.
i actually like playing the minigame on there more than the actual game xD
lol; and i don't think i can afford both
i'm sooooo dead poor now
it ended up being $200 after everything
and i still don't know what a R4 and 1GB MicroSD is for
i tried to look for ds stuff but they didn't have a lot..
btw, how do you dl games?

If you have the R4 and 1GB MicroSD, you can download games for free off the internet and put it in the card. Saves space (since then, you wont have to carry all the different cartridges) and money. Haha. Just check the Nintendo Ds Thread and backtrack a few pages. There should be some info.

[monchichi]

Yup, R4 and MSD is the way to go.

You made a good purchase - DS's last a lot longer that PSPs so you'll survive your 22 hour flight, leaving enough hours for you to sleep as well.

[Golden Zeta Gundam]

the games i want are all on PSP

but my gf takes my DS and loves it , esp the Brain training games lol

[shortboy]

You already got one, but DS is definitely the way to go for a person of your tastes. As `ANITA already mentioned, the R4 w/ 1gb MicroSD Memory Card (required) is used so that you can download NDS games off the internet and onto the MicroSD and play them no hassle on the DS. Literally after 3 downloads you're basically paid off haha.

And I'm personally a PSP person. I love that sucker. You can't go wrong with NES, GBC, GBA, SEGA, SNES, PS1, Internet, mp3, etc. all in one system. =]. The difference between PSP and DS homebrew is that the DS is really only limited to just NDS games and a few other apps, while the PSP (with the help of a few hacks here and there) is open to play not only PSP Games (ISO format), but also the above mentioned and more. It really is a powerful system but battery life is killer. My battery used to last a little more than a day without charging...now it lasts only about 6-8 hours of just mp3 usage.

woooot goooo psp i like the way its soo smoooth the black psp and white psp lol.I used to like ds like a year ago so basically im a ds person transformed to a psp person

[hireshi]

I'd go for the Nintendo DS. More variations with the games, adventure, horror, action, humor, etc.

The Sony Portable has most Role Playing games, as in, action, shooting and racing xD

sorry I just found this forum yesterday =[
its ok DS used to be my favorite last year but now i like psp way more lol.
Probably cause of the new games i got from Japan.
I watch all my favorite shows on it =].
i bet nintendo ds will have video later i think.

Rainiii if u like puppys like me. Get Nintendo Dogz for ur ds .
lol you can buy puppys and train them its cute lol.

btw where are you going? lol? what college u planning to go to o.o

[RAINii]

omg, i saw the dogz game. i have enough trouble taking care of my real dog; haha
oii, i'm just being a bum because every game for the ds is $30+
i think before i actually buy any more games, i'll get the r4 ect first
and i found out they don't sell it at 'major' stores (best buy) so i gotta go hunting for an asian store that sell it today --'
i think i'm also getting the web browser add on for the ds so i can go online on it
i'm going to thailand/vietnam/mainlandchina
i'm starting college in the spring ~ ga state
