QUOTE(viper-xs @ Oct 7 2007, 07:35 AM) I bought my gf 1-2 years back a GBA cos she's a freak for Mario. She's been playing that since late 80's i suppose. Can't recall. Anyway that is purely for Mario and nothing else. After that i bought her as a present a Gamecube and guess what, with Mario of course and only that. Last month I bought her a NDSL simply cos of Mario also. Guess what, now I can "pinjam" her GBA and carry it with me cos I travel to overseas often and for quite long time. And I just bought one for myself yesterday...*blame* it on Nintendo with good nice simple games and my gf to introduce me to it. Now I'm hook-up to it...Personally I like PS. I have PS2 but PSP graphic is too good for handheld. I think it will be more suited for TV. NDSL game is more easy and relaxing. Quite fast too. Like what I said to my gf when she asked me if I want to buy and carry PSP to overseas and I said flat no. I need something lite and chose GBA instead. If I want something heavy I will stick to PS2. After sticking my hand in GBA now my hand abit gatal edi to get NDSL for myself. I don't mind the design wise eventhough it looks cute. I think for my handheld, I will need it to be cute cos I got other stuff which looks macho...  Handheld=Nintendo rules for the games, simplicity etc. Console=PS..for me that is Now Wii got Mario ler..haihz..sure she will think of that soon. Cheers  |

QUOTE(iman_210 @ Oct 22 2007, 11:12 AM) guys I don't think the NDS has very top-notch racing games. Better if you go PSP if want racing games.. do the current loading time in psp lite improved? i am into racing games and FPS so does NDS has those title? is PSP a better choice? Unless you like throwing banana peels and red shells are people, boosting on corners, then Mario Kart is for you. As for FPS.. DS has some FPS games, like Brothers in Arms, Call of Duty 4, Metroid Prime Hunters, Dementium: The Ward(latest).. PSP, the only last one I heard was Medal of Honor, with 16-32 players online, altho' old.. Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 will be coming soon too. |

As with all other consoles, its a matter of preference. If you want a device that is capable of video playback and MP3 as well play games, the PSP is probably the choice. It is a multimedia device not just a gaming machine.
NDS on the other hand has more creative games but dont expect super powerful graphics. I guess exception would be Zelda: PH which has very pretty graphics. |

i hope to hear more discussion over this matter psp vs nds. since not much people commenting over lite psp in this thread due to the fact this is an old thread .
perhaps more games in psp in 2008 can bring more hot discussion ??? i'm torn between nds n psp right now hehee.. |

yeps. psp games looks extremely good for a handheld. but hardly fun to play on such a small screen. I know it's quite big but for long periods of time, its not really ideal.
As for the nds. as with all nintendo consoles are specifically aimed towards fun and interactivity. both are good. but are not comparable by any means since both are very2 different type of handheld consoles. |

Dun worry, both psp and ndsl hv their own sets of homebrews la.
I have both and right now my psp is resting coz no new games at the moment while the ndsl got FF4 and Trauma Centre.  The cycle for ndsl time for a rest is when starwars force unleashed and FF:Dissidia is out. |

I just got my PSP, and here's my brief usage description of both consoles.
PSP: Big screen, great video quality, great video streaming, great internet capabilities (browser + internet radio), oh and good gameplay too, thought I don't play that much. DS: Excellent games library, pickup and play type, stylus control means its accessible to anyone AND it can be used for other applications like the new KORG DS software, language coaching titles, etc. But I love it mostly for Colors! The best homebrew paint program on any portable ever. I use that a lot. |

Well, I think DS is a good machine with good games. But, DS game mostly are more cartoony and cute. DS also support lots of remakes like the FF series and the forthcoming Chrono Trigger. But .......... if your looking for good graphic, function, movies watching and a mp3 player, PSP should be in the book
Most of all, DS got emulator (not sure if I can say this), and if you think of what the did for GBA, so you go guess. Anyway, PSP has also a good library of games but not much RPGs. Some good RPG are in Japanese anyways like Star Ocean 1 & 2, Tales of Rebirth (from PS2), Super Robot Wars and ofcourse Monster Hunter 2nd G. However, the control for shooter games for PSP is kinda need getting use to, as being use to a 2nd analog button. But, then again, DS got FF series, Chorno Trigger, Metriod, Mario and more. Good for guys that kinda like more simple games with lots of remake RPGs. I personally think the screen is kinda small though. Oh yeah, and DS got my favourate game on it. CASTLEVANIA ... Sad |
