I already have a BC ps3 so I hope I'm not missing out on cool PSP stuff...

I'm thinking about finally getting a handheld, but I'm worried about two things

1. Who is the DS for? at $140 I figure I might as well spend the extra $20 on a PSP bundle

2. what are the chances of nintendo coming out with a new hand-held soon?

 

EDIT:

3. how much do games go for?

EDIT: thanks for your support and advice everyone, I've decided on getting a DS next week for my birthday, any games you'd reccomend? I like platformers, action/adventure, and unique titles like Trauma Center and Brain Training

 

I know that "quality of games" is subjective.. but the DS has a lot better and more games than the psp. The design is ingenius. Have you played one before?

There is no chance Nintendo (and very little chance Sony) will put out a new handheld in the next two years.

The DS is so good I am selling my Wii to buy more games for it. I love my Wii but the DS is quite simply heading towards being the greatest system of all time.

The DS is a must buy if you like games.

Awesome! I bet you'll enjoy it.

Games? Elite Beat Agents, Kirby: Squeak Sqaud, Kirby: Canvas Curve, New Super Mario Bros, Meteos (Fun Puzzle game), Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Final Fantasy 4 (When it comes out).

And more :3 Also, ton of good GBA games if you didn't have one of those.



The Mother 3 Fan Translation is done! Everyone go get it right now! (Mother3.fobby.net)

Play Earthbound for the SNES ; ; Do it, it's awesome!

1. The DS is $120, not $140.

2. Not very soon I bet. They're still having a lot of success with the DS.

 

Actually, it's $129.99. :P

@OP:  Get one. It's definitely worth it. :)

DS is what I hope the wii will become. A place where all genre's co-exist.

@OP:
For recommendations just have a look at the games collections of DS owners in this thread. I can recommend all of my DS games (except Duck Amuck).

Really? Funny that I don't need that toy to like games. I know I am missing a lot of gemz like pokemonz,nintendogz, lot of marioz and brain trainingz.

 

And what is that about ds having more good games than psp? :) Metacritic says otherwise.
