PSP or Nintendo DS?
Hi-
I think its about time I bought a portable gaming system. Which one is better between the DS and PSP? Also, which games would you recommend for the system that you prefer? Thanks! I hope to buy one tomorrow so I can play on the bus ride to Foxwoods. |

Re: PSP or Nintendo DS?
The DS is the better choice hands down. It's cheaper, has a lot more games, and is backward compatible all the way to original gameboy games. Recommended games: mario kart, new super mario bros, meteos (puzzle game), trauma center, warioware (although I actually perfer warioware twisted - for the GBA - than warioware touched, but of course twisted will play on a DS).
I'm sure others can recommend more games. |

I know that GBA is of course, but I thought I'd heard that SP and DS are not...the cartridges don't fit. |

Horn,
When my place got messed up I bought a DS to pass the time. It def gets my seal of approval. Be sure to pick up Advance Wars: Dual Strike and Trauma Center if you do grab a DS. |

I assumed that because it fit GBA games, and the GBA was backwards compatible that it had to be. Looks like I spoke too soon, though - it appears that it does *not* play gameboy and gameboy color games. |

Re: PSP or Nintendo DS?
Between movies, Internet and games the PSP is the easy choice for me. If your swayed by the 384th installment of Mario then i guess go for the DS.

I've seen the DS last weeks of infrequent usage. PSP lasts about 1/3 as long. BTW both the DS and PSP are great for long bathroom breaks. Sure beats reading a stupid magazine. |
