I want to get either a DS or a PSP. I think the most games i would like to play on it would be rpgs. I also like action games but rpgs are my favorite. Which portable would be the best choice for me?

I think the DS has more/better ones. Don't quote me on that since the only one I know for psp is the final fantasy that's coming out.

The DS has more RPGs I'd say, but they were too cartoony or lame for me to dive in, so it's not all that great.

Definitely the DS as SE is giving the system a ton of support including Dragon Quest 9.

I don't have a ds, but I love the rpgs Psp has out right now. War of the lions, Jeanne d'arc, kingdom of paradise, Gurumin, Valkyrie profile, Monster hunter(s), Tales of eternia, etc. Then when you include FF7CC and the two star ocean remakes coming out, it makes it a no brainer for me. Not that the ds doesn't have some good rpgs of it's own...

The DS has more and arguably better RPG's, but they're a little more old school oriented.

Also if you haven't got a GBA then add in the GBA old school RPG's for the DS, which can play them. If you count the GBA RPG's along with the DS ones you will be good to go for years to come. Look beyond the obvious choices of FF's and DQ's.

I still don't get how the Advance Wars series is a RPG all of a sudden :S.

To me it's still turn based strategy...just like Field Commander isn't an RPG.:roll:

Right now DS has Pokemon, Etrian Odyssey, Mario and Luigi and FF12 revenant Wings all of which i can highly reccomend. There's also tons of stuff coming out for it this year.

The PSP has a retranslated version of FF Tactic, Jean D'AR(excellent) and a few other things coming out. Either choice is great

Looking at the 2008 lineup, DS has a huge RPG lineup.

FF: Tactics Advance 2

FF: Crystal Chronicles

Remakes of several DQ and FF4

ASH

The World Ends With You

Bioware's Sonic RPG

DQ9

To name some of the games. Plus you've got Pokemon, DQ Monsters Joker, FF3, and Lunar Knights.

actually DQ 4,5,6 remakes. Also add FF Tactics A2 and a new Tales game built just for DS (not a port). Advance Wars is not RPG.

Advance Wars is a Strategy RPG (I think I never played advance wars but it plays alot like Fire Emblem doesn't it and Fire Emblem is an RPG, but it can be considered both)

It's a TBS.
It's not an RPG game, and it plays nothing like an RPG game, unless you consider any game that has an "attack" option you choose on a menu an RPG.

I own both, but the PSP has much better RPG's. It's really not even close. I do perfer the DS overall, but if you are just looking for RPG's and maybe even sports game you have to go with the PSP.

Well instead of taking strangers word for it I suggest you check it out for yourself before you spend $100 on a system. I don't own a ds so have someone else put a list but heres a list I found not all of them are rpgs but their are some actions since you said you liked those too.

A childs toy that plays more than multiplatform titles and actually has games coming out this year

But i suppose you're a man who knows quality, after all you're currently playing "folklore" :lol:

Quite a bit better actually, that's why it got a much higher score and people bought so many copies

but i suppose you've got to play every piece of trash that comes your way if you bought a Ps3 in 07. You should check out Lair as well, i heard it's a killer app :lol:

IGN gave Folklore AAA. I have the game and think it is great other than the fact that you have to play each level twice.
