I would have said Ds 6 months ago, but now go with the PSP, you have a PS3 and You cant go wrong with God of War.

get a psp it is the whole experience and ds is for kids

Question: do you expect anyone to ever take you seriously with comments like this?

 

 

 yes i do because nintendo has said its target gamers age was 8 years old for many of there franchises

Would you be so kind as to produce this quote in context?

And, after you've done that: are we supposed to ignore the hundreds of other, non-Nintendo, DS games?

 

    the other games like Poniez 2, my dogz 2, bratz and movie games?   Honestly I can't think of more then 3 or 4 adult oriented games on the DS (brain age and related games are more or less it)

 

Chrono Trigger, TWEWY, Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow, Castlevania Potraiet of Ruin, Castlevaina Order of Ecclesia, Contra 4, GTA China Town, Resident Evil Deadly Silent, Ninja Gidaen Dragon Sword, The 4 Phoenix Wright games, Hotel Dusk, and the 2 or 3 Trauma Center. I might of forgot a few since these are the ones I know of...



Former something....

Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 should be (has a very simplistic story unlike the classic original), Trauma Center Under the Knife, uh... uh... Brothers in Arms DS? That last one got crap reviews though.

A agree, PSP has better games. DS certainly has more though, and has something for everyone.

According to Meta Critic, DS has 98 75 or above rated games, while PSP has 113. Quantity over quality. DS is kinda kiddy, but IMO its worth having becuase the 1st party is great. Too bad it has all but dried up. Also, old first party games are roughly $25 on amazon so you won't save much. Alot of PSP games are really cheap though.

To OP- since you are in the navy I think you would like PSP better. It has more violent games which I am assuming you like (I persoanlly don't like em, but I love platforemrs and quiky games and SRPGS, which PSP has alot of. Honestly PSP has great games for everyone except casuals, but thats where the money is nowadays)

If you get a PSP, get a screen protector. The screen scrathes easily. Get the Red or Silver PSP. Black shows smudges.

I don't even know how to respond to this...

based on your OP, I'd definitely go for the PSP. It probably has more games that you would like and it has an excellent media player (and Remote Play!) and you can even use it as a cell phone if you have Skype. You can also get some really cool homebrew FW and apps if you want to.



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

Also your buddies will give you crap if they see you playing cooking mama on the DS, but none of them will give you grief over playing god of war (though they might try to get you to let them play).

 And why you assume that he will buy Cooking Mama?

If you want to play games, the DS is a far better choice

Or all of them will turn into Nintendo fanboys when they discover real AAA games like The world ends with you and Chrono trigger :)

 And if he is playing Ninja Gaiden Sword, or perhaps more popular with your average person Guitar Hero.  The DS has plenty of non-kiddie games.
