DS lite or PSP slim????

ughhhhhhhhhhhhh!!i cant decide they both look awesome.it looks like the psp has better games but worse gameplay.it looks like the DS is more fun but only a few games to choose from.so,what do you guys think?

i own both at first i played the ds all the time but when i got my psp slim and light my ds has been collecting dust ever since great games like star wars ff tactics the war of the lions and syphon filter silent hill origins and many others have kept me hooked on the system i just recently purchased tekken DR for 4.99 in a bargain bin brand new.

the other good thing about the psp is that you can put videos music etc onto it as you already probably know. i have a 1gb card and thats more than enough for me i have 2 movies on there a few south park episodes and still have enough for plenty of game saves. the only problem is battery life 6-8 hours max.

the ds is great if you like fun games and minigames the system also had great battery life 15-18 hr. the majority of the games are pick up and play titles like new super mario bros mario kart animal crossing brain trainingetc. but you also have yuor rpgs such as zelda PH pokemon d/p FF 3 etc.

but overall i would get a psp slim.

I always try to go by a system's library. It seems like DS sales are considerably stronger than PSP's. Look at the 5 or 6 years Nintendo made GBA games. Hell, the Bit Generations came out last year.

You can buy a PSP, but it seems like they'll be making DS games for quite a few years still.

Dude, easy choice. go for DS Lite (It's much cheaper than the psp) and you can buy a MAX Drive fro it if you want movies and music. It's only $40 at amazon and is 4gb big! troggie12312399

but the ds screen has a lower resolution than the psp's so get a psp when it comes to movies!

The MAX Drive also does homebrew applications:D

My son had a PSP for a couple months, he had all kinds of problems from the disks not reading, the UMD disks not spinning and he had to take them apart and try to fix them all the time, the games were much more expensive, and only after using it a couple times he had 10 or 15 dead pixels. He was veryeasy with it and wasn't a litle kid ( he was 12 at the time) and always kept it in a solid case and still had all those problems. After only 2 months he took it in and got his money back and got aDS and has had no problems at all. Thats not counting the loading times problem and battry life. PSP might be good for media stuff, but for a good portable system, DS is the way to go. I don't know if they have changed all those issues or not ( this was last Christmas) but after all the trouble we had, I wouldn't waste my money on one again. Get a DS and a MP3 player and save a hundred.

1. DS does have good shooters (MPH, Dementium, Goldeneye, BIA, COD4)

2. Baby type games? Do you have 11 copies of Hanna Montana?

3. "i am now saving up for a psp and going to waste $200 on a psp" ...Waste? your words, not mine.

4. PSP not only costs $50 more than DS, but most PSP games are $10-20 more than DS's. How is PSP "a way better system"?

Also, PSP has loading times. Load times make me want to puke, not to mention load times on a handheld console.

Err...what?

Get a DS, it has alot of better games and is alot more fun.

Super Mario 64DS, Mario Kart, Metroid Prime Hunters, Zelda Phantom Hourglass, Pokemon D/P, Diddy Kong Racing, FF12, and alot more.

The Touch Screen is obviously the DS's best feature, and it really does change the gaming experience. PSP doesn't have that type of innovation, nor the outstanding games to back it up.

@ The person who said DS games are babyish, haha, fun doesn't mean babyish. The 11 games you have must really be pretty crap.

i like the psp for NBA, GTA and tekken dr. other than that ds all the way. it really depends on you. by the way dont listen to the poster above about the "baby type" games..... just look at mortal kombat and COD4 and contra.

Better games but worse gameplay? :? I dont think that's possible... you kind of contradicted yourself. :P

The DS actually has a much better game library, in my opinion, as long as you aren't looking for a ton of shooters or something you have a wide variety of games to choose from. Not to mention that the hardware quality of the DS is superb and the DS has a solid game lineup for next year.
