Save your money and buy some genuinely good games on your console of choice, rather than overhyped launch trash.

I want to all the people that call psp "sexy" to burn up in a fire. kinda.

 

[SantaC]

Ok I finally did it. Bought a DS today, and I have ordered kirby (import)

Been playing around with it, and the touch screen pen feels good.

edit: No dead pixels! Where am I suppose to put the pen?

The pen goes in the back.

Why did you import Kirby!? IT'S OUT TODAY IN THE US!

You sat on $700 worth of unattached cash for over 2 months? Jesus. Why didn't you just go buy a fucking Louis Vuitton handbag for your girl or something? Obviously you have some kind of money-spending issue.

I, also, have this kind of issue.

I thought he didn't live in the US.

I'd have to vote for the PSP on pure sexiness alone; but then, I'm not a handheld gamer.

I bought some other things for that money

Dude, the 1.5 loader is about to be released. Surely you want in on that sweet, portable emulation goodness?

I kid, I kid...

I definitlety will get a PSP later, but right now the DS has the best upcoming games in 2005. PSP is probably something for X-mas.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Good choice. I haven't even touched my PSP in over a month. I even took it to E3 and I still never pulled it out once.

What was May's background color? I missed that one.

Just hope that they release a loader for PSPs beyond 1.0 and 1.5 units.

 

[Apenheul]

from my personal experience, guys gather around me when I play the PSP (WipeOut). Women gather around me when I play my DS (Yoshi). Uh, I just thought I'd share this piece of information hehe.

[edit]
SantaCruZer you made a wise choice. Right now there's no reason for you to get a PSP (even if you didn't have an mp3 player yet), I really don't see why anyone in this thread would suggest a PSP for you, since you were most likely going to put it aside for now anyway when it comes to the games.

 

[brocke]

I would wait until this Christmas to purchase a psp. Just not enough quality titles out yet for it. By Christmas it will probly be worth a purchase. For now DS is really the best way to go. And if you are a platformer fan, pick up the kirby game when you get it.

So this is why many here say they like the PSP -- it attracts men. :lol

That's right -- buy a PSP to play GBA titles.

 

[thestopsign]

Nice choice.

For once I'm jelous that I don't live in Europe. You guys get Trace Memory on June 24th, and I don't think that Nintendo has even set a release date for the United States. If you see Trace Memory buy it. Especially if you like games like Myst or Riven.

I have trace memory pre-ordered here in europe.

Welcome to the team.

As an owner of a PSP, I think the PSP is worth buying. There is a drought now but there's a lot of good crap out for it now:

Lumines
Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee
Ridge Racer
Wipeout Pure
Metal Gear Ac!d

DS has Kirby, Mario 64 (which should be with every DS now), and if its your bag, Wario Ware. PSP right now has the software advantage. Later this year, it'll be in DS's favor but 2006 may be another story.

You'll get both and Sony is more likely to drop the price of PSP than Nintendo is with the DS. So I'd say get a DS and get a PSP after the price drop.

 

[Socreges]

At this point I would buy a DS and wait for the PSP to drop in price. There's just more interesting software coming over the next several months.

Do you need an mp3 player, though? And would you take advantage of the video capabilities? That would change a lot.

Honestly, for someone who is around GAF as much as you are, I'm not totally sure why this thread was necessary. Generally people will just hear what they want to.

[edit] didn't see the dates. oh well.

 

[Laguna X]

I prefer the PSP over the DS. However judging from your post history, I'd say a DS may be more suiting for you. Enjoy whatever you do end up choosing.

 

[AniHawk]

I say you should buy a DS. And import Kirbyds.
