Why did you get a ds?

Why? Why? I got one because they were a new idea with touch screen technology. Why did you choose this over say a psp? Was it really worth it? I thought so, but what do you think? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Alright? Ok i'll stop but why? (by th way i think it was great for me to get a ds so i vote definitely in the poll)

Thanks (vote in the poll)

I got a ds for3 reasons:

I had a lot of gba games and a game boy advance and was tired of always changing the batteries. I decided it was a waste to but a sp because it does the same thing as a ds but it just has a rechageable battery. waste of money.

Alot of the ds games i saw at the time had looked good and i played one before and they were great.

The idea of the touch screeen was so cooland it wokred well.

It was a good buy. i got it in 2 years ago and it still works like new.

Definetlya good choice

I actually didn't think too much about it.

I'm not a hardcore gamer, the last game "system" I had was a Gameboy Original and a few games!

I simply just wanted to play Super Mario Bros, and Mario Kart!

It was well worth the money!

At first I had the Phat then I sold it and got the PSP. Then today I bought a new Lite because of all the DQ games and RPGs.

i got it after getting the psp and i dont even know where my psp is, and the DSL is always next to me, like my cellphone.

reasons:
MARIO
LINK
YOSHI
ACWW
POKEMON
and is alot funner than my psp, (WHICH i cant find)

The touch screen

The gameplay

The Attract girls to play aura

Im happy right now

Thank you Nintendo DS

No question, definitely worth it. That's my answer... Ok, maybe more than it. :P All the innovative possibilities, the list of games to be released, the attractive price, the gba backwards compatibility... Why not a Psp? Simple: The Psp didn't win me either with its game list (consisting mostly of PS2 ports, at least at the time), its low battery duration (which doesn't make it very portable, if you ask me), and its price (at least an additional 50% as much as the DS). The additional factor that it was released 6 WHOLE MONTHS later than the DS was the final nail in the coffin for any possibility of me buying the Psp. That's why I, personally, chose the DS over the Psp. I still expect great things from Nintendo's little wonder. Whoever could tell me before the DS was released that you could actually play a surgery game on it that would actually not suck? Whoever could tell me that I could play a platformer without as much as touching the d-pad or buttons, but only with the touch-screen? Finally, whoever could tell me that I would no longer have to pause my game to have a look at the map, but just have a quick look at the top screen and whoever could tell me that by merely closing the lid of DS it could serve as both a sleep function and as a solution for some puzzles? (Simple, yes, but very useful!) These are just my personal opinions. You can freely dismiss them as pure garbage if you think that I am a Psp hater! :PGeorgemen

hell yeah!!!

also comment and post here!:)toxicsludge56

WELL what if I don't want to post here?

I'm kinda happy I got the DS, it kinda sucks cause I lost my first one and then had to buy a second one. I've had at least 12 DS games and only 2 of them really sucked: Rub Rabbits and that surgery game. But apart from that the DS has some really awesome games, Nintendogs was easily the best.

i got my DS for 1 reason: DRAGON QUEST IX

can you imagine my UNCONTAINABLE JOY!!!!! now that DQMonsters: Joker? AND!!!!!!! DQ4, 5, and6 (the last two of which have never been stateside) are now coming to DS

THANK YOU, GOD!!!

I always do research before I buy any handheld system or even console. I choose DS over PSP is because

Firstly , I have some GBA games.
Secondly , I found out that Pokemon , Zelda , Dragon Quest IX and Final Fantasy XII:RW is coming to DS
Thirdly , lighter than PSP
Lastly , better libaray (IMO)

There is more reason , but I guess 4 is sufficent

I got a DS partly because the touch-screen was intriguing, but also because the price of the games ($10 less than GBA cartridges, WOW!) was very appealling. Later on, I had a wide variety of games to choose from, and since DS games were so cheap compared to Wii games, I steadily expanded my library. I'm still playing my DS and loving it.
