Hey readers,

I am considering buying either psp or ds. But i cant seem to make up my mind. Hopefully you all can give me your views on the pros and cons on both consoles. If possible, could you give me a price analysis between both of them too? Thank you.

1) go to google
2) type top10 ds games and top10 psp games
3) see which has more games u would want to play
4) buy

DS.... Games are nice, has more replay value, loads and loads of fun games, the graphics for games are good, maybe not certain 3d games but psp definitely has a better screen.. The games are really innovative too, a departure from traditional button pressing.. Some games make use of the mic, stylus.. Very innovative..

what the.....?

you asking in PS thread
you should already expect whats the outcome will be

For more action and better rendered graphics -> PSP
For fun playing games -> NDS

PSP are more versatile in many ways...
you can Play game that look like PC (did i mention almost), the graphic are superb ex: god of wars
u can surf internet at any Wifi free area, stream radio from internet watch youtube streaming live chatting.
also Psp can act as your mp3 player and watch movie in wide screen. this is high end user preference (ekekekekeek dun flame me)

VS

NDS well the game are more to replay value kind like old 8 bit game with enhance graphics, dual screen with touch screen,
u can also surf internet but need extra accesorries.. game title well if you surf google u understand which category it fall too.
if u wan something snappy NDS is ur answer.

get NDS if wan to play those nintendo titles such as mario, zelda, pokemon

Get a DS if you a girly girl.....hahaha nuff said

I'd prefer Nintendo Gameboy though

psp for a true man haha

DS suk.....end

PSP! hands down!

This is is a repeated question and people tent to answer differently
If u post this question in the ds post u get this kind of answer:
Solution 1
If u post it in the general consoles, u get this:
Solution 2
and if u post it in the psp section u get this:
Solution 3
and for me i get them both. Problem solve

yeap. buy both. easy...

if u want graphics.. 3d awesome.. then go for PSP..
u can compare same title on PSP and DS.. which one u like.

go to the shop n ask for more.
hold both psp n DS
For me i'll feel psp got more quality. DS console is like so plasticky, buttons not solid, screen so small.. make me feel that im not willing to throw the money on such portable console if compare to psp.
Appearance sure sony leet. Also got bright future for psp. Sure nintendo's games are fun. But definately wont suprise me with the kids' graphic.

i would recommand ds, coz of it fun game, and new style of gameplay,

go for psp, with emulator u can even play gba,gbc,snes,n64 n ps1 game. Other people said NDS for simple game n psp for heavy game. Wtf is that?.. download gba or snes game n put on ur psp, wallah u got simple game on ur psp... f***ing awesome isnt it?...

i at this thread..
posting a comparison on either sub forum=biased views.
best thing is to find gamers with either console,and have already maxed out(or atleast knows more about the console) it's capabilities.

seriously,comparing the official range of features and unofficial range,is like comparing heaven and earth(not so sure about the NDS,but sure is true with the PSP)

get both and problem solved, i'm thinking to get a ds oso now
cant really stick long to a psp game aside from mhf2 and lumines

LOL..Asking this in a Playstation Section is definitely giving you one answer only.

Anyway, i would go for PSP as well. Played both DS and PSP before, i would still stick to PSP. Games on PSP is nicer than the DS for me..

Well, maybe because i liked the games on the PSP..Therefore, the reason for you to pick a console - Find the game you would like to play most and get that specific console that supports it...

get both because they give different gaming experiences. owning both console myself

OMG, WTF. NDS also can surf internet, MP3, watch movies. Or r u guys so out of date that the NDS have the R4DS (stands for revolution for ds) now. LOLZZZZ....


PSP SUCKS

And for your info, surfing internet with ds don't need extra accesorries LOL.

Well of course that is, y don't you go to the Nintendo Thread instade. But, I don't actually hate PlayStations, I love the PS2 and the PS3, thier a really cool.

yeah i do love PS2s... but im a new NDSL owner myself.. n i enjoyed with my new unit.. =) their games are really creative n fun.. but if u wanna play games with cool graphics n stuff then choose psp lo.. but i was thinking.. if wan cool graphics rite, why not just play PS2 instead?? sumo bigger screen better graphics!! lol!!

in conclusion NDSL with PS2 FTW!!!!

get both la...
PSP for more serious gaming and NDSL if you just wanna kill some time.
Both are nice to play with. Right now I'm stuck with my NDSL coz I just got it.

it depends on u.yourself to make this decision. u like awesome graphic or u like new style of gameplay.u simply cant follow everybody otherwise u'll end up regreting what u bought just because u dont like it but other's like it.

Yeah man, I bought an NDSL first, and 2 years later finally bought a PSP since I want some different types of games. IMHO, both are WORTH it.

I have both of them is still depend what you want. PSP got better graphic and effect. DS can have more game in memory card (SuperCard).

yes agree with Lord_Ashe

First I got my NDS then I got my PSP from Sbaby..

Both awesome...different gameplay.

NDS interactive PSP Realisitc

Both Awesome-ness

if you like Mario, go for NDS.. (EBA is overrated imo)
if you like games with superior graphics , go for psp.

I own both and personally I prefer psp more

depends wht u are looking for...if u want innovative and casual gaming, go for nds...if u want graphics and intense games, go for psp...psp is like a portable ps2 of sorts...

i bought psp but it didn't suit me due to time consuming as well as heavy games...sold it and bought nds and haven't put down my nds yet...all the games are innovative and casual enuff for a gamer like me who just wants something to pass time every now and then...

good luck in ya decision...

this tread has no conclusion, it's similar with :

PSP vs NDS
XBOX360 vs PS3

just buy according to yr personal preference n make yr own decision. if you've the money buy both .. else buy the one you favor the most .

yup..agreed.both got its pro and cons..
it's just u urself need to decide..there is no such thing as which is better buy.

Rather than playing a DS based on your conclusion, you're also saying that 'it's better to own a Wii rather than an NDS'.

There is something NDS cannot do which the PSP can: homebrew. PSP has the largest homebrew community ever. Which type of console that can emulate from Gameboy to N64 to MAME without external hardware?

Voxe is right. Buy a PSP and don't blame us if you're dam* satisfied.

If u compare both spec machine, u will see that PSP is worth to buy compare to DS

u just see what games ur planning to play then buy that console... btw both also plays a multiplayer function which many of the ppl buy these console for...
i am a Monster Hunter freak, when i know my frens playing MH in PSP, i straight go buy to play wit em...

sorry dude,but that's just ridiculous.

what you're looking at is their graphical capability(more than anything else)

the DS has things the PSP doesnt,mainly the touch screen.

on paper,it doesnt seem so fantastic,but in reality,touch screen can be a breath of fresh air

Agree! Spec doesnt means anything... Can you compare a spec of 1.4 jazz and 1.6 waja? Juz ask youself, are you a hardcore gamer or casual gamer...

If hardcore gamer, psp? I don't get it.

well, psp are more to high end handheld graphics, well... most of the game, how to say this, only be easily played if the player played game alot.
an inexperience player would have lots of problem asking how to play this and that. well, it's just my opinion as it happen alot to my friends who don't play games alot.

while for the ds, it's kinda friendly kinda of game, u do see hardcore game on DS but seldom u do see 1 coz nintendo are mostly off to more friendly and party kinda game. and it's easy to get used to the new style of gaming.

either, it's ur choice but i would prefer u to get both of em if you can afford though. I prefer something light and quick during im playing game outside. Something like i can just switch on and off w/o worrying about the save as some games on ds are just "play for fun".

hi guys.. i want to sell my nintendo ds light with r4 card for rm550.. my ndsl just 3 month old, condition is ok.. i want to sell coz i want to buy psp.. anybody intrested contact me at migi@operamail.com i'm in kl area. price maybe negiotate..

You can make a sales thread in Garage Sales, and more people would look at it rather than finding it here in this thread.

aiya u didnt post earlier or else i can get from u already

i hope psp2 could have touch screen and also motion censor

but now seems both companies don't have plans on their next gen handheld game deck

PSP and NDS lite both are good game console.
But for game (innovative), i personally vote for NDS

Now, i also interested in another underdog game console GP2X which is open source but far less game supported

I own a PSP and i think NDS are better for gaming. (But i still love my PSP !)
PSP games are mostly ported or repeating the same concept, so it's quite boring..

While NDS have more creative and innovative in games. (Games ! Im not talking about the touchscreen !)
Put hardware aside, look only at the games. (Great games does not require very good graphic)

EG: Wii vs PS3, look at the award won by Wii compared to PS3.

one downside of NDS is, the screen is much smaller, it strain eyes after long time playing, to me lah

That just means that u should go out n watch some trees for a while

both system is targeting different ppl.

so which ppl should get which handheld?

I've a friend who bought DS because he has been a fan of Nintendo since young and he said because of loyalty to the brand. I've had my share of Nintendos back when I was young but I still prefer the PSP; it rocks my world now. My brother has a DS and I've gamed on it before however for myself, it's still my PSP.

I guess at the end of day, it's our own preferences.

Trying get Both DS and PSP. Different gameplay mode.By the way, the normal PSP is way too big. consider buying PSP slim better.

psp = hardcore game
ds = casual game

if got money I recommand you get both...

DS is made for little children whereas PSP is made for old boys who think they're little children.

I bought my NDS last year and I bought the PSP Slim this year. Kinda feel great to have both.

I use DS for mind training, especially for Ambidextrous Training and PSP for 3D game like Disgaea (my fav. since Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories on PS2).

Don't compare apples and oranges. Choose which one, in your opinion, tastes better, or buy both. Can't go wrong with both.

PSP.. i think way better
DS fun but get bored sometimes

psp...never regret getting it....if can pair up with ps3 even better!!ya hoo!

buy 2 together lar !!
like me lor !
psp + nds + wii + ps2 + rodded 360 !!
hehehe !

I have PSP Slim now, just bought it about 2 weeks plus back... I'm really happy for it.
Just paid for a used set of NDSL... So, I'll be having 2 consoles.

I'll test out both consoles. I really don't know how to divide my time for these two consoles, equally. If I only focus on one, mum and sister will nag me for wasting money of getting those two consoles, now scare already.

Both are great! I luv both!

Hmm i also need to think to get psp or nintendo DS. It seems there alot of games options for psp but once i played my friend's DS and i was addicted to Elite Beat Agents.

Hmmm....... imagine if i put decals inside, which one will look cooler?

I tot u shuold kno which 1 is better since u selling decals?

Haha the consoles frm my suppliers, i pinjam their ds to play

Well actually quite simple, PSP in my opinion is loved by almost everyone who is a hardcore handheld gamer. Nintendo DS on the other hand, well not many would like it but if you do appreciate their games especially those interactive ones with touchscreen function like what you mentioned Elite Beat Agents, you are going to love the DS too.

i use my ds as my guitar... cool huh?.. n i use my psp to watch porn.. cool huh?
