I personally prefer to use my bright lit SP or the micro for GBA games. I don't think the poster above was trying to insinuate that someone keep the SP and not get a DS.

Perhaps...perhaps...

I suppose I assumed as much because I use my DS on the train everyday. If I had to carry around 2 systems (or pick and choose), it'd be pretty lame. I rarely play portable games around the house, minus some Wi-Fi action.

(nice avatar update btw )

Well yeah - for travel I would only take the DS Lite with me for both DS and GBA game playin.

When at home tho - and I wanna play GBA or a GNC link game why not use the GBA SP? Besides the battery lasts like a month on one charge and wont wear down my DS battery for when im not at home.

 

[MomoPufflet]

umm im suggesting he keep the GBA-SP AND get the DS-lite.

Its better to have both - not trade the GBASP for the DSLite.

The point was kind of that I don't really have the desire to get a DSlite if I'm paying full price for it. Being able to get 40 bucks off with an SP trade-in was the whole incentive for me to consider getting one in the first place.

 

[AlphaSnake]

OMG!!!, ITS A CONSPIRACY!!!,JUST LIKE 9-11 AND THE YETI AMIRITE?

No, not at all. But back in the hay day, when I worked at EB we used to get emails from corporate telling us that 'Smarch is going to be Nintendo month. Nintendo will be our vendor of the month. We'll be running so and so promos." You have to pay EB in order to be a publicized vendor. Now it's a little different, they don't have VOM anymore. Companies do pay EB to be put in the spotlight (promo deals, posters, cardboards, decor, etc.). And I have a friend in corporate EB that has told me the very same thing I'm telling you.

I'm not taking away the hilarity of this, because it's actually funnier if Nintendo is behind it.

As no doubt the PSP will have more longevity due to its greater technical limitations and will be as hot as the PSOne around year 5-6.

Err, longevity is caused by popularity, not technology. That's why the original Gameboy lasted longer than the Game Gear and the PS2 lasted longer than Gamecube and Xbox.

It's the library of games, which the DS has a much better one.

Woah. What happened here? Sucks for the PSP, i wish it got more credit than this. Oh well.

Cant really say im happy about this thread with a good bud being perma-banned and as Matix said, more fire to the PSP flame.

Im getting Ratchet and Clank Size Matters and Monster Kingdom this weekend, and im having a blast playing Lenneth and MGS: PO, in other words, im definitely enjoying my PSP.

Yes, but unfortunately, he's said all he's had to

Sorry Beezy But im not the renaissance poster i was, ive learned a lot since then.

Dont worry, im sure there'll be a 4th Konex somewhere down the line!

 

[reminder]

I have 14 games for my PSP compared to 12 for my DS. I have both systems since their european launch (DS = march 05, PSP = september 05). I never regretted a purchase of a PSP game. On the DS i regret the purchase of 3 games.

I enjoy my PSP much more than my DS. I play games on it, watch Simpsons, use the browser etc. every day. My DS on the other hand is gathering dust since a month now. Until Christmas it gathered dust since april or so.

If this is the future, then i'm very happy to live in the past.

I wouldn't know. Never played the game, nor do I have any desire to.

Thats too bad, bro, sorry u missed out on one of the greatest storylines since the renaissance period

Yeah well more popularity -> more support -> better library.

the Renaissance didnt even have terribly good "stories".. thats not even what the Renaissance is known for

I! BUT HE! IT WAS! Damnit, I hate Xeno with the fury of a thousand suns! I was merely administering a test, which I have dubbed the Konex test. Adam Blade has failed, making him truly a failed Konex cloning experiment.

Man. Talk about backfire. I'm gonna go spank it to NiGHTs for a while now. ; ;

The EB nearest to me replaced the ad with an ad for the trade in you GC/Xbox/PS2 and get $100 off a Wii/360/PS3.

HOWEVER they had plenty of promotional booklets featuring sales, promos, trade-in deals, etc. Sixteen pages worth.

Look at what's on page 10:

Here's a closer shot (not that my shitty photo skills make it any better):

Hopefully this will satisfy the skeptics. I can scan it as well, but then that won't be until I get home around midnight.

Even though the ad may not be up, the trade in the PSP for $100 towards a DSL IS still on, of course.


BTW: For all you Lower Mainland NeoGaffers, the Future shop at Metrotown is selling Nintendo brand Wii Component Cables for $39.99 and they have Donkey Kong Jungle Beat w/ the Bongos for $19.99

I was about to mock you for making such an obvious statement (of course they both have great libraries), but then I see you've posted links to uh...your collection. And I have to be honest, I don't have the heart for it now.

edit: you need Phoenix Wright and Elite Beat Agents and god almighty why do you own Tenchu

I havent stumbled upon P-Wright yet.

I tried Elite Beat Agents onb my friends DS and didnt fancy it much.

I have had much fun with Tenchu DS - trap combos are great...

I am also a huge FROM SOFTWARE fan and like to give their stuff a try as they have never let me down (Kings Field II locked me in for good)

Fair enough, then. Make the effort to find PW, at least if you like adventure games. It's a nice change of pace and somewhat ironically feels like the very model of a DS game to me.

Hahaha. My god. Is that your own work? That's incredible.

I'll go with C.

But yeah anyway. I traded in my DS Lite for my PSP and I have really been enjoying it. I just don't think the DS had the games I wanted to play.

All I can say is, do it now--get Kirby Squeak Squad, I mean. Because if Kirby Super Star shows up on VC any time soon and you buy that, which you should, every other Kirby game you play following--even the really good ones, which are the ones on GBA and DS--will be just a little bit more of a letdown than they would have been otherwise.
