[QUOTE="Lionheart08"][QUOTE="jharv"]After the dry spell in 08 for the PSP why would anyone want one?jharv

Wow, that's such an original arguement. Even though it's proven that there's more than that, you should stick with it.:roll:

If your friends have Monster Hunter...Get a PSP.

EDIT: But seriously, (like most people here have said) take a look at the list of games and see which ones interest you more.

The one that has more games that interest you. I'd say go for the DS, but that;s just me.

:lol:handhelds:lol:

[QUOTE="jharv"][QUOTE="Lionheart08"] For the back catalog of games maybe?Lionheart08

Wow, that's such an original arguement. Even though it's proven that there's more than that, you should stick with it.:roll:

[QUOTE="Lionheart08"]

[QUOTE="jharv"] You mean the GTA's and multi-plat games I can play on my PS2?jharv

Wow, that's such an original arguement. Even though it's proven that there's more than that, you should stick with it.:roll:

For the first statement: So we're going to judge a system of its worth based on GRs top 10? I can list a good amount of great PSP games that aren't on other systems.

For the second statement, same could be said for practically every system. :lol:

I'm sure there is but that's speaking a lot for a system which highest rated games are easily played on your PS2 or DS.

You can't say the same about the DS;) (minus chrono/SM64)

I bought a handheld for the same reason as you, among a few others. I had a DS, but I didn't really enjoy it that much, so I sold it with my mum and I got a PSP. Im pleased with the choice I made, it's like

having a PS2 in your pocket!

[QUOTE="Chiddaling"][QUOTE="Rahnyc4"]and the Ds has twice as much and more original titles. Rahnyc4

Know nothing? I used to have a DS and then sold it. I remember I bought a Lite back in July 07 and sold it in July 08 and bought a PSP. I remember my favourite games like Phoenix Wright series (I freakin' love all 4 of em), New Super Mario Bros, Final Fantasy III and others.

Sadly, I found more on PSP.

Sounds like the PSP is for you, and it has a good RPG lineup.

[QUOTE="Chiddaling"][QUOTE="Rahnyc4"] that only proves you know nothing about the ds. the ds has shovelware, but you expect that from a highly successful console, but it also has a large array of worthy titles, that dwarf the psp titles. you just have to think in reality, instead of the relm of fanboyism.

EDIT: Can we please stop arguing about this. I knew things would go berserk.

Buy a gaming PC

PSP because

• Plays Games
• Plays Music
• Plays Videos and has a large screen for videos
• Doesn't get as dirty as the touch screen on the DS
• Has a BUILT IN web browser
• Can take photos from your digital camera
• Great games with wonderful graphics.

If you like RPGs, then DS is a better choice than PSP imo.

Dagon Quest IV, V, VI, IX
7th Dragon
Final Fantasy III & IV
TWEWY
Chrono Trigger
Blood of the Bahamut
Suikoden Tierkreis
Infinite Space
Final Fantasy Legend II remake
Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon
Valkyrie Profile
Phantasy Star 0

and some other games: GTA Chinatown Wars, Professor Layton, Rhytm Heaven, Scribblenauts

EDIT: can't believe I forgot Ninokuni which is Studio Ghibli and Level 5 game

I'd say the PSP. If you like Playstation console games, there are some Playstation-themed games like Killzone: Liberation, Resistance: Retribution, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Metal Gear Ops(I can see that by your avatar, you're probably a MGS fan), SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 1 & 2 and Combined Assault, Wipeout: Pure and Pulse, Daxter, Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank, and some others. There's also PSOne games you can play on it downloadable from the PS Store. On the PSP, you can also: -Listen to music -Watch videos(transferred to your PSP) -Watch movies(in UMD format at retail stores, but you can buy them from the PS Store too) -Surf the web on an internet browser(but no youtube or video platforms; you have to download the videos and transfer them to your PSP) -Watch TV on your PSP from your cable service(with LocationFree Player sold separately, but you can also download internet TV to your PSP) -Listen to Internet Radio(comes with PSP) I'm saving up for buying a PSP this summer hopefully. There are so many games I'd want to play on it, and my MP3 is now broken, so it would be a nice replacement for my MP3 player to listen to music with, and I could watch movies and video clips, too. All that on one device. I'd go with the PSP, but if you're into games with different types of gameplay from any platform like Brain Age and touch screen/camera featured games, then the DS would fit your gaming needs. - -NYrockinlegend

yup what he said ^

[QUOTE="2_Quiet_2_Riot"]DS = more games, variety to explore. world69star69

the psp with its 333mhz processor 64mb ram and high res 440x240 res widescreen, is the way to go...plus you get internet, internet radio, skype, and a whole slew of unmentionalbe stuff.(can't speak of.) really all the ds has is a few games and pictochat which isn't useful as you have to be in range of someone with a ds, and at that point you can just talk ....(would of been cool if it was internet chat...could replace text messaging! but no nintendo doesn't like online,why? The ds like the wii are mainly targeted at kids, parenets don't want their kids talking to people online) .... PSP is targeting older teens and adults....you can;t go wrong with a psp!

WOW... Way to generalize and stereotype, there, buddy! Way to sound like a graphics-whore, too, because EVERYONE knows that since the PSP has better technical specs, it MUST be the better system; forget about declining dev support and the glut of PS2 rehashes and spinoffs that dominate the PSP's library (see? I can do it too), IT'S GOT BETTER GRAPHICS AND CAN PLAY MOVIES!!

I'm 30 as well, and I must be a complete aberration because I own both a Wii and DS and think they're both amazing. You say you're into FF Tactics, so why wouldn't you like the Advance Wars or Fire Emblem games??? There's ALOT to like about the DS, and IMO it's the clear choice between the 2, so it's too bad you have such a closed-minded view.

Fixed this one up for ya!

IT PLAYS GAMES! That's pretty much the only feature you need from a game system.

I suggest the PSP. The big difference between DS and PSP games is that PSP games are actually fun. I bought my PSP recently and I'm very happy with my purchase, it's by far the best handheld gaming device I've ever used. Games I recommend are Daxter, Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core and THUG2 Remix. But hey, that's my opinion and yours could differ. GeoffZak

PSP because it has Kindom hearts bith by sleep and FFVII crisis core and tekken dark resurection and daxter and much more!!!foreverflame890
