Hi all, not to up to speed on these handheld consoles so thought I would ask the question.
Its 'son and heirs' 6th birthday soon and we thought a hand held console would fit the bill nicely but, which one.
PSP or DS2?
-
My best advice is the DS2 as they have more games for them and it is a brilliant little console , jimbob, he brought one for harry for his birthday and I have one and so do my daughters
-
definite DS great for all ages :y
-
Start with the games, then work back to which console....
-
So, DSi XL looks to be a favourite then
-
DS2 at their age :y
PSP is for more hard-core first person shooter and driving games. DS2 is about game play.
-
I think dad would prefer PSP, kids DS ;D
I prefer the Nintendo type games myself - easy to pick up and put down, not needing the time you need to dedicate to hardcore games. Probably why I use the Wii far more than I use the xbox.
-
Brain training on DS is ace..........if my stepson leaves his around, I'll always have a go.

Yup, simple but strangely addictive. Bit like Angry Birds on crApple devices...

I was lent a DS when I went into hospital, was told it had brain training on it, to this day i still dont know how to work the bloody thing. ::) ::) (maybe I ought to return it) :-[
-
I got a DS, and all I have ever played on it is Brain Training and WWTBAM.
It has resided in drawer for past 18 months, unloved.
Also got a full compliment here of other consoles, XBOX, XBOX360, PS1 PS2 PS3, Super Nintendo, which I love playing as it's my era.
Hehehehehehe
-
I was a big fan of Super Mario World on the SNES. Probably the best platform game ever made, and probably always will be with Sony/MS and even Nintendo going for more involved games...

I was offered £50 for my SNES only last weekend.
Only got three games left now, SMW and one other Mario, and Jurrassic Park. Would not sell it though. I am proud of mine and had it since new, and has not yellowed at all.
Been told the non-yellowing is a fault. They are supposed to yellow something to do with the fire retardent in them.Maybe a load of bull.

I bought a Dreamcast (I think it is) off a mate with loads of games and accessoris, not got round to playing on that either, are they anygood.

Sadly no is the answer to that
Never really took off in the UK, PlayStation won that little battle

Di,
Super Nintendo was my era and I am 39 now, if you mid 50s (as you have hinted) then surely you are more Binatone or Grandstand....?

Dy'LL... Grandstand used to be cutting edge back in the early 80's... :-/ I don't know if it is a good or bad thing to be able remember them or remember wanting one (Asteroid or Space Invader Console)....
Of the hand helds available nowadays, go with the DS field...
-
I had a psp for keeping awake at night when i was at work and i found it very good for games......The lad has a DS and he takes it with him everywhere when we go out for the day and he uses a lot of the educational games that you can get...So i suppose for a little un a DS is the way to go... :y

Some good games
-
DS for little ones, lots of simple pet games, as they get older the PSP is very good, some big franchises on it such as God of War, Motorstorm, Rachet & Clank, Assassins Creed

Dreamcast was way better than the playstation2 - stable online gaming before any other console had even thought of it (and it was free - sadly the servers down now) graphically superior to the ps2 in every way and some fantastic arcade games - i had both and the sega machine was lightyears ahead - the old Betamax/VHS story, better tech pushed out by better marketing, killed off sega as a hardware company - sad because they really understood what makes a great console - just no one bought it :(
-
ds for youngens, psp for big kids ::) esp if you have ps3 as it will link to it wirelessly via web. But if you dont want him to progress to ps3, Ds only imo.

I bought one! Great console, although it did have a few gimmicks (like those memory cards that were supposed to be little hand held games in their own right, in which the battery lasted about 5 minutes..)
I do like to buy dead-end tech, though.. bought the DreamCast, that killed it. Bought the GameCube, that killed it. .. :lol:
I have a PSP for mobile gaming - it was great.. I just haven't turned it on in about two years :-[ I'm very tempted by the new version that's coming out, though!
(Also have a PS3, 360 & Wii.. none of which get turned on with any kind of regularity)

Thats because when they cut you open, they discovered that you had Sony written through you like a stick of rock...

No just that between DS and Pokemon game and PSP and Motorstorm - I'd rather do the racing game rather than the fighting cuddly toy game
