If i put a gba game in the DS and put a xd in the wii can i still trade or battle or is it different?

I prefer the DS, because the selection of games is wide and the touch screen is very fun to mess with. Also it comes in many colors and styles.

First off, just get a Lite and a MP3 player.

Almost all media support of the PSP has been dropped. Movies are crap now aday without anymore coming out. If you plan to use the media player, you need to get a ~$100 memory stick. Afterwards, almost lacks games.

Graphics? First off, graphics are not always how crisp and clear things are. Graphics could include style. Link LoZWW got critized for its graphic style, not its crisp and clearness. PSP generally aims for the real life graphic style, which in my opinion isn't that fun. Why? Most overused graphic style ever. And Mario Hoops as proven that the DS is not far behind in graphics. And they have an immense graphic style. Feel the Magic, PH, ACWW, and more come to mind.

Regardless though, the only reason to get a PSP over a DS is for a crappy MP3 player, which you could get a MP3 player, a DS (which dominates the game section) and save a lot of money, like $50.

So IMO, DS dominates every section vs. the PSP. PSP graphics may have Crisp and clearness, but lack orginal or rare graphic style's. Plus thier common graphic style requires crisp and clearness, as opposed to Cel shading (WW/PH) graphic style. And the MP3 player the PSP has to offer is a waste of money. Heck, for about $30 more you can get a much less limited MP3 player. Which from what I hear from the PSP's MP3 player, much worth it.

PSP was a failed multimedia portable system.

And don't say DVD's, *points at second sentence*


Now for DS vs. Wii, I doubt either one will be better. Only different. Therefore it is a tie.

No, because the GameCube game was made before the Wii, as were the GBA titles made before the DS. Neither take advantage of wireless properties between the DS and Wii. You'll still need to use a GBA and the GCN-GBA Link Cable.

DS of course. PSP is going downhill and $ony is hopefully going bankrupt

DS by far. Way better. Sure, PSP can access internet, but it sucks anyway

You would probably save even more money if you just bought an thing called M3 player (or Gameboy Advance Media Player) for the Nintendo DS/lite or a Play-yan.

Even though the sound quality isn't 100% crisp, it still allows you to have stereo and decent sound, as well as videos (but they really aren't very good-looking unless you're good at tweaking options).

Here's an example (Moonshell/Play-yan):

Thanks chris but is there a place to link the gba to the wii?

 

[UberSorcerer]

I whole heartedly agree that the PSP is a glorified MP3 player, I did the smart thing... DS & MP3, I'm happy.

Yes, for example, if you wanted to link Emerald (on the GBA) to XD (GCN game running on the Wii) you would just need the GBA to Gamecube link cable.

i have the psp and my sister has the DS(hopefully lend it off her for Pearl) both very different but very good consoles, hard to decide for me. But whatever theyre both alright

DS. With Mario 64 DS, Mario Kart DS, New Super Mario Bros, etc, out already, and Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, FF3 and Tales of the Tempest (possibly) to come, it's definately my favourite.

The only game on the PSP that really interests me is Tales of Eternia.

Originality has nothing to do with the actually quality of graphics, that is simply applying to a certain game, but graphics in general, PSP wins.

 

[frooglylwoo]

But ds has funner games i think so it doesn't matter bout graphics.

 

[Kasaioni]

DS Lite, that was the system I was most crazy for, even more than the Wii to be Honest!

 

[frooglylwoo]

I just thought that if i get a wii then i can wait for the new type of ds that comes in.
