PSP or DS?

Question

just a poll, i'm trying to pick one

Answer 1

DS overall

Answer 2

Both of the systems have their pros and cons. The main things to look at in a hand-held video game system are: graphics, features, games, price, and durability. Your age is also a factor in deciding which one you would enjoy the most. Both systems are really fun but, nine times out of ten one will suit you more than the other.

Nintendo DS:

Pros: The price is the first thing to look at. The price is currently $129.99. This is a fair price for what you get. First, it has a built-in Game Boy Advance. The price of a Game Boy Advance SP on its own is $79.99. That means that the DS part is only $50. The DS has great graphics for its price! That is not all, it even has two screens. One is a regular screen, but the other is touch screen.

It is used for anything from petting a dog to aiming a gun. Last, but not least, you can play online. This means that if you have a wireless router at home you can play for free. If you do not have a wireless router, you can pay $35 for an adapter. Online you can race, shoot and play with people across the world.

Cons: If you are looking for more mature, traditional gaming, the DS will probably disappoint you. The Nintendo DS offers a wide selection of innovative games that focus on using the touch screen. The touch screen is both a pro and a con. In the game “Greg Hastilings Tournament Paintball Max,” aiming with the touch screen while pressing buttons to fire and reload can be a pain. One other issue with the touch screen is that the stylus is easy to lose. DS comes with two of them, but you can purchase three more for around $5.00.




Sony PSP:
Pros: Sony PSP is a sleek, nice looking, hand-held gaming system made by Sony. It is designed to attract the “I-pod audience.” This system can connect to the internet, play movies, hold photos, and play music. The PSP has graphics similar to the Play Station 2[1]. The games look really nice on the PSP. This system is the only hand-held system to have a mini built-in joystick. The joystick is so small that you can barely see it in pictures, but it works really well. The stick makes racing, shooting, and walking a lot easier. PSP also has arrow keys for tasks such as moving through menus, entering text, and performing more precise functions. As if that were not enough, this work of art can connect to the internet, and surf the web.

Cons: Every positive on the PSP comes with a negative. The games offered on the PSP aren’t very innovative. Most of the games have previous versions which appear on other TV based systems (Nintendo Game Cube, Microsoft Xbox (360), and Sony Play Station 2). The ones on the TV based systems are usually longer and easier to navigate because their controllers have more , larger buttons. Music and photo storage are cool features, but are limited by the PSP’s memory. If you want to store more than five songs or ten pictures you would have to buy a memory stick, which can cost between $30 - $100. You can buy movies to play on the PSP, but many movies don’t come in this format. There is software that converts regular DVDs to the PSP format, but this costs around $40, and requires at least an $80 memory card. The movie Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, for example, took up one gigabyte of memory!
The Internet connection is a great idea, but it’s really hard to navigate. It’s difficult to enter text, but it’s even more difficult to correct mistakes.
The last point is that the screen breaks very easily. A good, hard screen protector costs an additional $15, but it’s well worth it.


Conclusion: Overall, they both have many great features and some drawbacks. It all comes down to which system you prefer. If you are attracted to new technology developments, then you are a Nintendo DS person. If you enjoy more traditional, familiar games then Sony PSP is for you.
