Should I get a DS for my birthday?

I have both, I rarely use my PSP. The PSP has better hardware (Obviously) but lacks a good library (Eventhough God of War is amazing).

The DS has an amazing one (In my opinion). It's your birthday, do as your heart desires.

Also, most people here are going to say DS, because it's the DS forums.

If you want a console like experience, get a psp; you can't go wrong with crisis core, metal gear, god of war, and there's the playstation classics such as the original metal gear solid and final fantasy vii.

If you want something reminiscent of the good ol' SNES in your hand, plus some unique games, get a ds. Oh, and get the world ends with you. It's the best DS game EVER... imo

PSP's library is awful, get a DS unless you don't have an iPod or something to watch movies/listen to music on.

I think you should get a ds (Granted you're looking for a handheld). Simply because there's a lot of games, and well, there is a lot of good games and variety. There are some good games on the PSP, but well... my brother got a psp, and he doesn't play it at all and regrets buying it. He states it as:

"There's few good games, and most of them are pretty buggy"

But idunno. I recommend ds, but that's just me. It truly is up to you. Cruize through the games on the handheld on gamespot, watch some video reviews, see if any catch your fancy.

Just saying this, but you are going to be hearing a lot of pro-DS answers as this is the DS forum. I would say "Take this to System Wars," but that isn't always right, either.

But if you want it, and you've found some games that you want, then go for it.

if you are getting a DS make sure it is a DSi! :D

Get what interests you more obviously, really, you dont need our help.

I was thinking about getting one for my birthday. My friend says I should get a PSP, but I think I like the DS' game library better. So, is a DS worth it?Alvy-Singer

Only you know if the DS is worth it to you. If you like the DS game library better than the PSP, then haven't you just made up your own mind?

So what's next. What color underwear should you wear today? Cant u even decide for yourself? It's a pretty silly question that doesn't make sense.

Yes, you should got 1 for your bithday.

At first, I tought PSP is better than NDS, so I bought PSP. Then, 1 of my friend from workplace bring along her NDS, it not take long time for me to love this handheld. It got variety in da gameplay, eventhough its graphic not as good as PSP. 1 month later I bought it, and now its always stick with me wherever i go :D

Yeah definitely you should get DS.Go for DSi it has got a camera and music player.

I'd say go for the ds. I really enjoy a lot of the games that are unique to the ds. PSP is just like, hey remember those games you play on your console? How about playing dumbed down versions of them? I feel the Ds is far more unique.

Get a DSi. You can't go wrong with that decision.

Um, yes.

Get one for every day of the year.

Take a look at each of the handhelds libraries and read the reviews on games that catch your eye.. If more games catch your eye on one system on one system than the other.. get that system.

For me, the DS was that system, which is why I picked it up! Either one you pick, odds are you'll have a lot of fun with it:)
