CardWarfare 4 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 So, I have some extra cash lying around, and I'm really considering picking one of these things up. My PS2 never survived the move home from college, but I think I'd rather get a hand-held than a full system. I so far this looks like my best choice. Lots of games, plays movies, and looks to be solid quality.Does anyone have one of these things? Anything I should know before picking one up? Link to post Share on other sites

CardWarfare 4 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 not trying to sway you here, but have you tried a Nintendo DS?No. That's why I made this thread. I haven't played a hand-held since the original GameBoy, so I know virtually nothing. The DS looks good too, I just don't have any idea which would be a better buy. Link to post Share on other sites
CardWarfare 4 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Also, if anyone has any tips on good games, throw those in as well. The GTA games look like a must-buy for the PSP, and I'm also anxiously awaiting MLB The Show 2007 Link to post Share on other sites

The DS looks good too, I just don't have any idea which would be a better buy.The better buy IMO is the DS, mainly because the DS is $120 cheaper than the PSP. I'm one of those people that likes the mature games, but I have found some of the Mario titles to be very fun. Also the DS has last remaining Final Fantasy not released in the US exclusively on it's console. I own a DS Lite and love it to death. I will probably own a PSP at some point, but not until the price drops about $100.EDIT: I was going to say that the GTA games for the PSP are also on the PS2, but I re-read your post and saw that your PS2 didn't survive the move home.

The reason the PSP appealed to me was because it has most of the games I liked for PS2. I've been out of the video game loop for a while, but I tend to play a lot of sports games and such. Arcade games are also a big favorite.I'm messing around on BestBuy.com and I found something that swayed me. It's gonna be a tough arguement for the DS after I saw this.http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1158321856413 Link to post Share on other sites

RickyG033 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I love my PSP! I have a 1 GB memory stick. I have about 7 games saved with mutiple files on each, and over 100 songs, and I STILL havent made a dent in the memory. Im going to start gettnig some video on it, then we'll see. I love mine and use it daily to kill time. MLB 06 the Show is my favorite with GTA and Madden also up there. Link to post Share on other sites
