trust me, you will get bored of your psp like i did.
all i do is listen to music.

id get a DS

 

As usual, Sony is hoping to catch you with non-gaming stuff (mp3, bluray...).

Nintendo is a gaming company if that helps you to decide what you want.

 

well when i got my psp. gaming was my first priority, then it went to movies, i bought nothing but UMD movies for months,

now its just music, i havent bought a psp game since 06

 

If you haven't played any of the games, then you really shouldn't judge them.

 

i have played the games, when i bought the psp, i bought many games, then after i while none of the new game interested me!

"when i bought the psp, i bought many games"

i'm puzzled with both of your statements

i gues i should ask what games you owned for the PSP

Metal Gear Solid doesn't interest you? Final Fantasy doesn't interest you? God of War doesn't interest you? Castlevania doesn't interest you? Silent Hill doesn't interest you?

All were great games:

There are much higher rated games on PSP as well, I'm just choosing popular franchises to get a feel for what exactly you do like that doesn't have a Nintendo label on it.

 

 



@deathcape: Is that list necessary? This is a thread asking why he should choose a PSP. There is a duplicate thread of this one, except for the DS. Your list belongs in the latter. Sadly, I think you were already aware of this...

Decent list, but you have too many familiar console style games. I can see why you'd get bored. Branch out a bit and try stuff like Patapon, Loco Roco, Beats, Lumines, Jeanne d'Arc, etc. It'll really change your opinion of the system. 



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

lol no,

like the other user said, i think i have too many of the same genre of games, so i need more diversity of games.
