Nintendo DS < PSP

[vesaker]

Now i'm sure i'll get flack for this but i firmly stand by this claim for several reasons.

1. Games are about Fun not how amazing they look. Myself i can be entertained by a flickering candle but that doesn't meen i'm necessarily easy to enterain. what i want form my games is to have fun while playing them and i find the DS and its usage of the touch screen for many games adds a whole new demension of fun.

2. Don't got alot of time? No worries. Now i'm not sure about if the PSP has anything like this but if your playing your DS (mind you this is only with the DS lite) and something comes up you just need to close the DS up and it puts itself to sleep saving yor exact spot you were and playing again is a s simple as opening the DS again.

This feature lasts a LONG time. Recently i was playing Kirby Squeak Squad for my DS (great game by the way) on the way home from work and when i was getting on the subway i noticed it was pretty cramped so i closed my DS and slipped it into my bag pocket like usual. That was a Friday, on the following Sunday i got bored and wanted to beat a lvl or 2 in Kirby but could not locate my DS until i checked my bag. Once i opened the DS i was standing there in the last lvl i was playing when i closed it on Friday and there was still tons of battery power left in the DS!

3. The exlusive titles. Now until my recent findings out about Silent Hill Origins there was not a single game that would make me want a PSP but there are few titles that are DS only that i would have to have. Some of these titles are any of the Final Fantasy games (although i'm not into the the Cronicles series), any Legend of Zelda games (which should be out late this year if not early next), Pokemon (yes its a kids game but its an incredably fun RPG and unfortaunetly to easy if ou've played since he originals), Mega Man games and im sure theres a couple others but i can't think of them at the moment.

4. One battery to do one thing. Like all the new age cell phones out there the PSP is too multi function imo. Sure you can surf the web, listen to music, watch movies and play games on your PSP but you can't do 2 at the same time and if your battery dies you can't do any of them. Not only that but as time goes on Nintendo only has to worry about releasing great games for the DS which will keep creativity and ideas centered around one thing as opposed to several things they have to keep up with on the PSP.


All in all i'm not saying that the PSP sucks or that you should never buy one, just like i'm not saying that the DS is the be all and end all of hand helds. But what i am saying is if your into having the most fun with a game over staring at the cool graphics or the want to watch a movie that is either taking up hard disk space on your system or you've acctaully bought a PSP movie then the Nintendo DS is the way to go

As in it should read DS>PSP since you obviously prefer the DS over PSP.

I have not played either but from what I hear DS seems to be the top choice.

Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

the biggest advantage to the dx over the psp is that the ds is more comfortable to us big hand people.

heh i figured that was what he ment but i wasn't sure if he was just doing a round about way of saying the PSP is better lol. And i've never been able to remeber which is the 'greater than" and which is the 'lesser then' symbol and since i never see ppl on boards saying things are lesser then others i figured it wouldn't matter if it was the right one and as teenkill points out that i obviously prefer the DS as accordance to my post

Think of the < like a little Pacman. That motherfucker's hungry, and he's gonna eat the best goddamn handheld he can find. Going from your post(and I agree with you) he's going to want to chow down on that delicious ass Nintendo DS. So here's what it'll look like:

DS > PSP

Now that shit's tasty.
