Forums · PSP versus the DS
hey guys, i'm new so hi.
i am thinking about buying either a PSP or a DS. i am leaning towars the DS because it is cheaper, smaller, i don't care about graphics very much. any comments about personal experiences or comments about either device would be greatly appreciated.
i know there aren't many games for the PSP but it also has a media player.
the DS can't play music buy it has lots of games, many of which i like, and a second screen.
i also have a few questions:
what type of cartridge does the DS take? is it the same as a GBA cartridge?
what extra features do both have?
will either be replaced in the near future?
will the price come done soon/is it worth waiting?
this argument may have been done before so sorry if it has. i'll post more questions if i have any, thanx

I will have to say Ds cause i dont know a lot about psp and if you like pokemon games and nintendogs you might wanna buy ds but in future they are going to release ps3 so save you frekin money to buy ps3 cause there are going to a lot of games for it
Both can play movies and mp3s and such, you just need the right hardware for the ds though.
From a pirating point of view, they're both easy to play games on. I just got a passme to go with my supercard for my ds and now I can play homebrews, emlators and roms on it. And the PSP, as long as you have firmware 1.5 you're fine.
They're both fine systems. PSP doeasn't relaly have too many great games yet, but the ds has the GBA thing.
I dunno. I own both so I can't choose.

DS all the Way, It just lowered in Price too !, Id have to say Ds because It is the most innovative system yet! Psp is flashy, and has game variety , But has no gaming fun, mostly just ps2 games converted to the Psp. If you are a owner of the Ps2, DO NOT BUY THIS , its practically the excact same thing as the ps2, Ds has less games, But each is very innovative!!!!! Make sure you Pick up a copy of Waroiware= Touched !
those are basically the main reasons i'm getting a ds- it's cheaper, cand do what the psp can do, has a bloody good lineup , and the games are more fun. i think the games for the PSP will be just the same as the PS2. eg. why buy a portable PS2? i already own one.

The Play-Yan is an DS accessorie that played music and movies, it worked like a flash cart.
[/quote]Actually, its for the GBA SP, but its fully compatible with the DS, and I've seen recenly on some other emulation forums a new program that allows you to compress a film for a DS flash cart, but its still in beta stages, and If my memory is correct, I remember hearing that a company had made a film compressing tool for the DS, and it would be used for games and maybe movies.

PSP i would say so many features that already come in it the DS u gotta get things for the same features that the PSP has but then again if u want to store alot of music of games on ur PSP u need a expensive memory card planning to get a 1 GB which is 150 bucks money wise i would choose DS and more use wise i would choose PSP
i have both btw
