I fyou want a ds here you go:

Black for cool people

Leo-j, stop trolling, you already gave your opinion on the subject (4 times). Don't post in this topic again when you have nothing new to add. This is your warning.

here's what I think.

Try a PSP, Honestly, there is a reason why only 12% of PSP owners own a DS, because once you go PSP, you won't go back. ;)

PSP give you PS2 graphics on the go, if you are a HUGE Metal Gear fan, go with PSP..

if you want to play same games you played on GBA (or GB for that matter,), a game with almost identical engine from 10-15 years ago, Buy a DS and get your Pokemon Pearl. ;)

Uh, yeah, where to start. It's great that you like your PSP and all, but the DS does far more than the GBA, and the Pokemon games run on a 3D world engine, and a much better resolution 2D engine in combat. It's hardly the only game on the DS worth buying either. Say what you want about the PSP, and present support for your argument, but don't talk crap about a system you don't own and know nothing about.

Btw, if only 12% of PSP owners own a DS, then that means 5.5% of DS owners own a PSP... didn't quite think that one through did ya Genius.  You also definitely don't want to get into a discussion about sales paterns determinging quality, because more than just the clear hardware advantage the DS has almost twice the attach rate of the PSP, which has the lowest attach rate in recorded video game history.  

DS plays your GBA games. Even better, many new DS games at only $10-$20. Seriously, DS games costs less than GBA games did 4 years ago. It is great to see the cost of games go down!

 Yeah, I checked around, and everything is sold out. The PSP is selling well around here too, because I couldn't find any in stores around here either.

 So, the DS is more for RPGs and Platformers, and the PSP is more for shooter and racing games? curse my lack of money... 

>and present support for your argument, but don't talk crap about a system you don't own and know nothing about.

hmm, I do own a DSL, and I still have it,

Oh come on, such a light jab, there's no need to go all out with insults. ;)

Yes, that's correct. The PSP has great handheld FPS games. The DS is pretty lacking in that category, but MP:H is decent. The PSP also has a ton of very well designed racers ranging from both simulation style to arcade style. The DS has Mario Kart as a great racing game, but that's about it, and it doesn't havea  good sim style game.

The DS has Mario and the first good Sonic and Megaman games in years as great platformers. It also has a ridiculous amount of RPGs (Square Enix has 19 games out and in production for the DS), and some great action-adventures like Zelda PH. Truthfully you'll only get the best of both worlds if you own both.

One word : Homebrew

hmmmm, maybe its a good think I decided to hold off on getting Folklore... Does anyone know of any sales going on for either system (at major retail chains that have them in stock)?
