Would you rather buy the DSi or the PSP Go? Now the DSi only cost $169.99 which is $80 cheaper than the PSP Go which is 249.99(as much as a Wii.) The good things about the DSi are that its has 2 camera, uses SD cards, bigger screen, plays music, has DSiWare and its cheaper. The bad thing is it doesn't play GBA games. The good things about the PSP Go is it is smaller than the PSP, plays music, 16 GB of flash memory. The bad thing is it doesnt use UMD and it is more expensive.


I am an arrogant and idiot person.... thank you for not reading my comments :)

 

 

There... now I fixed it ;) Seriously comments like these should stop already, and I hope that guys like you will be banned soon :| If its a joke then its far from being obvious...

So I'm arrogant, an idiot, and should be banned because I find the PSP subpar, especially when compared to the DS?  I answered the original question of the thread, and explained why I would choose the one I chose.

The topic is "Would you rather buy the DSi or the PSP Go?"  One is cheaper and has 10x the library, so I would rather buy that one by a large margin.  If you disagree, fine, but don't go flaming me for having a different opinion than you.

I can honestly say that the DS is the best thing I've ever owned, and I can also honestly say that there is not one single PSP game I feel like I'm missing out on.  If one of us is an idiot, I'm pretty sure it's the guy with the MS-painted console loyalty avatar.  You need to calm down and accept the fact that a huge majority of people prefer the DS to your precious Sony's offering.

It's all about the games. We all know that. And on that front, the DS blows PSP out of the water, no contest. Anyone disputing that is biased.

I predict whiners.

DS has some of the shortest games I've ever played. I beat trauma surgeon in one afternoon. It would have been faster but they jam packed it with dialogue to draw out the gameplay.

You really can't generalize a system's entire gaming catalogue like that.

And also, do you think PSP-1/2/3000 should be counted seperately from PSP-Go being as though the latter has more power?

+pros:

-both are lighter; psp is SIGNIFICANTLY lighter

-PSP: slidy screen

-PSP: digital downloads

-DSi: matte finish

-both: sexier (my opinion)

-DSi: increased range wifi connectivity (b to g)

-DSi: increased technical specs

+cons:

-PSP: smaller screen

-DSi: higher battery consumption (10-14 hours vs 15-19)

 

What about the complete inability to play your PSP umd games on your go, and the inability to buy used or discounted games for the go? Also, what about the loss of the UMD drive? The regular PSP can store GBs of data as well. You are saying the only upgrade for the Go is that it looks better, and weighs less? The PSP weighs like 0 pounds....isn't the Go a downgrade, for gaming, at least? The DSi is an upgrade.

huh?

Not using UMD is a good thing IMO=P

I know you probably realized this, but if you didn't:

On your original PSP, you can actually install your games to a memory stick. You don't even need the UMD disc in the drive. All the UMD amounted to was an option, never a requirement.

I'll be the first one to admit that UMD sucks...but if you're in a situation where you need it, it can be a lifesaver.

to do tht you'll need CFW and you'll need to hack your PSP for CFW.

I've got a DSL, i was near buying PSP 3000 last year, PSP Go looks awesome, however its also very pricey i might get it but only once price goes down a bit.



smbu2000 on 04 July 2009

Well I have a DSL and I'd consider buying a DSi. I have a PSP 1000 and there's no way I'd buy a PSP Go (though a PSP 3000 upgrade wouldn't be too bad ;-p )

Frankly, I've noticed that every person calling Cheebee out... is a Sony fanboy.

The DS library is two and a half times the size of the PSP's. And while it DOES have a lot of short games, it has a heck of a lot of extremely long ones. And they've got HUGE amounts of replayability. Not to mention, the public opinion kinda shows the DS's superiority, with over twice the amount of system sales as well.

Now, I intend to own a PSP. Particularly thanks to Soul Calibur IV's port to the PSP. Problem is, I wanted a PSP Go and that thing's hella expensive. I'm having trouble reconciling that purchase. A DSi, however, makes perfect sense considering what capabilities it has and how much cheaper it is.
