Nintendo ds or PSP???

Question

Please help, i can either get a Nintendo DS or a psp, i cant decide what to get. I already have an Ipod video. Im more on games mainly Role Playing but im also considering additional features which comes with the console. thanks!

Answer 1

DS
Why may you ask? Because WOW the PSP can go on the internet, play movies, music, and games, but It cant do all of those things well.
Also the movies for the PSP didn't do too well so now not many stores sell them. Also there aren't as many good games for the PSP as there is for the DS.
And if you want to get the PSP because it has internet read this:


In Opera's agreement with Nintendo, Nintendo DS users will now be able to surf the full Internet from their systems using the Opera browser. The Opera browser for Nintendo DS will be sold as a DS card. Users simply insert the card into the Wi- Fi enabled Nintendo DS, connect to a network, and begin browsing on two screens.

Earlier this year, Nintendo reported that 13 million Nintendo DS systems were sold to consumers around the world within just 13 months of its debut in November 2004. Nintendo DS combines unique dual screens, touch screen, voice recognition and wireless and Wi-Fi communications capabilities. According to an independent market research company in Japan, Nintendo DS has become the fastest selling video games machine to top the six million sales mark in Japan in just over 14 months since its Japanese debut, breaking the old record held by Nintendo's Game Boy Advance.

"The incredibly popular Nintendo DS is already Wi-Fi enabled to support real time gaming, so adding Web browsing capabilities was a natural evolution for this device," says Scott Hedrick, Executive Vice President, Opera Software. "Gaming devices are growing more advanced and a great Web experience is becoming a product differentiator for gaming manufacturers. Opera is excited to work with Nintendo to deliver a unique dual screen, full Internet experience on Nintendo DS."

With an on-screen keypad and stylus, users can easily navigate the Web from their Nintendo DS with PDA-like functionality. Based on the same core as the Opera desktop browser, Opera delivers superior speed and rendering of Web pages on the Nintendo DS.

"Within just five seconds of turning on the system, the Nintendo DS is already fully operational. This makes it the ideal device to enable people to swiftly obtain the latest information from the internet, wherever they are," says Masaru Shimomura, Deputy General Manager of Nintendo's R & D Department. "Opera exceeded our expectations with its user friendly interface, quick access to all your favorite sites, ease of use and, most importantly, in making the best use of the Nintendo DS system's unique double screens and touch screen features. Opera is an important partner for Nintendo in our efforts to further expand the users of the Nintendo DS."





Also for the DS read this (if you like t.v.)

Perhaps even more exciting is an accessory that converts the DS into a television. Starting in April, a service called 1seg (pronounced One Seg) will begin airing digital broadcasts for mobile devices throughout Japan. A number of cell phones capable of receiving the broadcasts have been announced, and now Nintendo is getting in on the action with the tentatively named DS Terrestrial Digital Broadcast Receiver Card.

This card turns your DS into a television capable of receiving 1seg broadcasts. Channels are switched using the touch pen, with the broadcast viewed on the top screen. The prototypes Nintendo had at the press conference were running via the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot, but the final version of the card will plug into the DS card slot.

I heard they will be released in the U.S. a little bit later.

So as you can tell the DS is coming out with many new add-ons so my guess is eventually they will have movies for the DS and it is already able to play music like the PSP.
Also for another advantage it is cheaper!

Hope I helped!
Have a great day

Answer 2

Highly dependant on game selections and preference. For example i bought the DS for my fiance because shes not a gaming guru shes just enjoys to play once in a while. Many of the DS games are targeted towards younger or less advanced gamers who just want to have fun. Also the DS has a touch screen which allows for a novel different in certain games.

However if you are looking for graphical capabilities and extended features such as an audio player etc. the PSP has the DS hands down and once again i believe the games selection is directed at a more experienced and capable game player.

You have mentioned RPG games there is an extended range for each of these units.

In the end its a matter of personal preference. I would recommend going to your local game shop and checking out the selection of games available on each platform. GOOD LUCK!!
