« on: February 17, 2005, 11:31:32 AM »
Ok so I have just received 400 bucks and I want to spend on some game system. I have x-box,gamecube, playstation 2, and I was wondering should I get a psp or a ds cuz I technically don't own one I just take my friends one all the time. So which one is better to buy PSP or DS?

All the reviews I checked said the N-gaged sucked. Bad Graphics, not easy enough controls and all around bad games.

No, that's a freaking lie. You just have to know the right people. There are some good games on the N-Gage and there's just no reason not to have one. Unless you are left jobless and homeless, then there may be. Just do it.

Shhh! He's trying to give someone an obviously bad idea by being belligerent about it. Don't give it away!

Yeah, sorry. But really, you should get one so you can tell TWG (and myself) if we should really get one. And if you don't love it like a Bhuddasac then you could just resell it. Quite possibly to me.

Actualy the new n-gauge is actualy pretty good, and there are some good games on it now.  Nokia finaly found it's nich which is stragety game.

I have a DS and like it, but there aren't any remarkable game for it right now, though by the end of the year there will be.  It also plays GBA games, which is one of the reasons I bought one.

PSP is $100 more then the DS and will have more games at or near launch then the DS.  The graphics on it are about as good as the PS2s, maybe better.  The down side is that there is an intentional design flaw where the square button sticks and is sometimes unresponsive.  This was done becsaue the button trigger couldn't fit under or near the screen so it's offset.

Unlike the DS, the PSP is designed to me more of a traditional console in function while the DS is part of nintendos "style over power" pholosphy.  Both the DS and the new colnsole, revolution, aren't designed to be power houses, but be unique in how their games work and to be different then traditional console gameing.

DS. An awesome games console, by the only company to buy consoles from, AND it has dating games AND it's an abbreviation for a type of kinky sex.
