Whats your weapon of choice?

Peter · Jul 15, 2007, 04:38 PM

I play a DS, for tetris and pokemon. If there were some decent RPG/Adventure games for the PSP, I'd get one in an instant.

Love my DS.

Aegis · Jul 16, 2007, 04:15 PM

Both. Though I play the DS a good deal more than the PSP

I have an original DS. I play it every so often, but I find it sits around a lot still.

Dakarʒ · Jul 16, 2007, 04:19 PM

I still have my Advance, so none of those options.

PSP, I have both consoles but the DS has been gathering dust since the first day I got it. I'm more of a graphics and multimedia person so I prefer the PSP.

The PSP tempts me with its power and hack-appeal (in spite of Sony's attempt to patch it via firmware updates). But I actually like the dual screen format and the touch screen capability. The DS is also less expensive and folds to protect its screens. And, of course, there's a good game selection for the DS which I like (apart from the ability to play older Gameboy Advance games).

I agree. We should have an option for that! Before getting my DS I had a Gameboy as well.

I have them both, played them both at times, but not as much as consoles.

I chose PSP because although I have 2 DS systems (a DS Phat and DS Lite) I haven't been very successful at finding games that I really like for it. The PSP's capacity for homebrew is really nice, but there are also a lot of very good games for it.

I also have 2 PSPs, 2 Game Boy Micros, 1 GBA SP, and 1 original Game Boy. In the past, I've owned a Turbo Express, Nomad, Game Gear, Game Boy Pocket, etc etc. I guess you could say I really like portable gaming...

Lately I've been using my PSP a lot more than my DS.
The Bigs on the PSP is a lot of fun.

I have a handful of DS games I have yet to get to though. My wife and I played through Phoenix Wright and are going to start the 2nd one. Games like that the DS is great, but other 'regular' games, I get the PSP version.

Both have their pluses.

I have a GBA that collects dust. I also still have a Game Gear with a tone off accesories and games.

Jawbone54 · Jul 21, 2007, 02:51 AM

DS Lite, but that's probably obvious based on the threads I've posted in during the past 2 days.

The DS offers experiences that you don't find on other consoles. The PSP shines at bringing console-type games on a portable system (obviously). Although I'd love to play PS2-quality Madden and FIFA on a portable system, I still like the way the DS brings something I don't find anywhere else.

DS Lite and PSP, to be honest I havent played much of either recently, been on the 360.

DS for me, can't beat a bit of Mario Kart.

Jawbone54 · Jul 21, 2007, 11:06 PM

I love Mario Kart. My only complaint is that I wish the gas could be mapped to the B button, rather than the A. Pressing on the A button continuously is uncomfortable for some reason.

Loving Trauma Center, BTW.
