Christmas is coming up and a couple of friends want to get me something so I was thinking either a DS or a PSP. I just wanted some opinions from people who own either one of them. I compiled a short list of pros and cons for each:
DS:
+Smaller than PSP.
+More battery life, I think?
+Much prettier; less chance of screen getting fucked up since it opens up.
+Interesting games: Mario Kart DS, the new Zelda game.
+Cheaper than PSP.
+Like 10 of my friends just bought DSes on Black Friday to play the new Zelda game so I'll have lots of people to play with -_-
-Look like an idiot poking a stick at a screen.
-Most games are pretty cheesy IMO.
PSP:
+Lots of games I want to play, primarily FPS.
+Music + Video capabilities. But that's covered by my iPod ...
-Supposedly dies easily. Lots of dead pixels?
-More expensive than DS.
-More crap you have to buy; carrying case or a cover or w/e since the screen is damn big and the case it comes with supposedly sucks.
Anything I missed? Anything I should know about for each? I'm leaning towards the DS route but I want some TL.net opinions :D

DS DS DS DS DS DS DS DS DS DS!
PSP has some good games, but the touch screen is far too much fun to give up.

N-Gage baby
but serious, DS can be really fun especially if you commute alot
|
Taking advice from Canadians seems like a REALLY bad idea -_-
Hahaha just kidding; I'm probably gonna buy the DS now  Thanks~

DS is for the win.
Get an R4 while u're at it.

I also want to get a handheld console, but I haven't made up my mind yet.
I have a Wii though and whenever I buy a game for it, I end up feeling ripped off in the end. PSP on the other hand has some epic RPGs, but the games are like $10 more than DS games and PSP costs almost as much as a home console

Why on earth would you want to play an FPS game on a handheld? I get angry just imagining what it would be like.
|
how much do these things cost?
|
I wouldn't use a PSP even if someone else payed it for me.
Go with the DS.
|
its a waste of money, ull ditch it soon after. i suggest save ur money and get a console later on

Well, obviously it's not like playing DoD on the computer, but I played Battlefront 2 on the PSP and it was hella fun :D
And PSP is for black people

Iv e never really used a DS much, but PSP is pretty nifty. Played my buddys a few times. Although personally, hand helds arent my flavor =p

buy a DS and get one of those memory cards that let you put roms on it, makes it worth every penny =D
|
My opinion I think hand0helds are a waste of money. Spend your money on something else.

DS+R4+2gig mini SD = ~200USD = so much fun = yes do it.

Listen to Chill, he knows his stuff
|
PSP + Memory card = mp3 + video player
Oh yea it plays games too, comparable to a ps2 in your hands, with one less joystick.
