Shall I save up for a PSP and buy it, or not? Explain.



I feel like I am making one of those icky tests that the English teachers force us to take...

I'm probably biased here, but I don't really care for hand-helds. I'd say get a system if there's one you want or don't have, otherwise, I guess you could go for it. There are a ton of games coming out on it that I want, but I'll end up never buying it. =P

Im on the go alot, so I like something to do in the car. I have all the consoles out right now, except for Xbox

I held the notion that PSP was superior in all aspects that matter, but my position was shaken upon reading the argument presented by X, a member at my forum, in the thread, Nintendo DS or Sony PSP? He attacks both handhelds for their flaws and points out both their strengths. One may also find Reneid Klein's arguments persuasive.

If I had to choose between PSP and its rival, I'd choose PSP. And so would Lincoln. Former President Abraham Lincoln. I just know.

Lincoln would choose both Mr. H., because it would unify the handheld market.

However, it's really on the kind of games you want. And what you want in hand held.

If you want more of a multi-media system with a less-than-stellar battery life but has decent 3-D graphics and has the ability to play movies (UMD, but movies) go with the PSP.

If you want a general hand-held gaming system with more of an RPG-based area, (less in the way of heavy action) go with DS.

DS also features backwards compatability with the older Gameboy games (I believe) so if you already have those kinds of games, you could buy that.

Only as a publicity stunt. In private, it'd be all about the PSP.

I believe it only supports the Game Boy Advance games now, instead of the full library. :\

Yeah, I just checked Nintendo.com


That's not really fair, though. Although it still does give more gameplay to the DS over the PSP. Giving it the older games from the older hand-held. It seems to me that Nintendo could win over more fans if they also allowed a backwards compatability with GB and GBC games.

Although the GBM also only plays GBA games, according to Nintendo, that's well over 700 games. So it seems like that with all the DS games, and the GBA games, you'd have more variety, albiet it not as great graphics as the PSP, but graphics aren't everything.

Yep. Only GBA games. But because of the backlit screens that are VASTLY superior to that of the SP, the games look a HELLUVA lot better! I'm playing Fire Emblem (the GBA game) right now and it's got fantastic quality!

Some people like to watch movies on the go, and it beats carrying around a hulking portable DVD player.

I am in the same dilemma of whether to buy a PSP. It would cost me over $500 to buy it here and it just seems not worth it. I only want to for the graphics/game value not to really watch movies or MP3s

A lot of people seem to forget that you can also surf on the internet with a PSP, download free movies (legally ofcourse) and play a lot of games which aren't for 80 % mario-involved

You're correct, I actually did forget about that. I've only seen one person use it (I haven't seen many people with a PSP in a hotspot), but it seemsed cool.
