Title: Should I get a DS or a PSP Post by: buzzardman on December 19, 2007, 08:08:20 PM I want to get my son a new portable gaming toy. Half of his friends have PSP's and the other half have Nintendo DS's.
Does anyone have any input on which one I should get him. He's 9yrs old. Which one has the best games for his age? Can you watch movies on each for long car rides? How about durability? THANKS, Clay Title: Re: Should I get a DS or a PSP Post by: Fox17 on December 19, 2007, 08:22:59 PM i dont have either but i know them PSPs are pretty sweet! I played ATV Offroad furry the other day on one. It plays DVDs made for it too. Holds music. It can go online with the wireless adapter. Pretty cool. Im considering one now. I have no clue what a DS even is. Ive heard of them but dont know anything about them and have never seen one.

You can play music, put pictures on it, go on the internet, of course play games. It uses a DUO memory card which most digital cameras use. Title: Re: Should I get a DS or a PSP Post by: IXIswamperIXI on December 19, 2007, 09:08:15 PM Games:
Nintendo has more kids games (ie: mario brothers,zelda) PSP has more games for older kids (so it might grow with him better Storage Nintendo correct me if I am wrong has none PSP you can put music, pics, and video Future Nintendo seems to make a lot of variations of hand helds Sony seems to sick with one (which I like) Online Both if you have a wireless router your online (PSP can download demos, ect.) Movies Nintendo does not have PSP has a limited selection Acc. They both have a lot, PSP may have slightly more Touch screen Nintendo yes PSP no Micraphone Nintendo yes PSP no Multiplayer Both can play PSP/PSP or DS/DS As for me I like the PSP better thats just me. If you want better "G" rated games I would go with DS. If you are looking for something he MIGHT not grow out of I would go with the PSP.
