[Question] NDS Lite vs PSP?

Well, the best game series of all time (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney) is on the DS, so in that sense I'd recommend you get that. The DS has a vast selection of games, most of which are terrible but there are some really good ones that you can't really afford to miss. It's kinda like the PS2 in that way.

The PSP on the other hand has a few really good exclusive titles (Crush and Loco Roco come to mind), but when I say a few, I mean like, three. I haven't tried emulation or anything like that, because I can do all those things about a million times better on my PC, it's just not worth the effort to me. I also can't imagine anyone ever using a PSP as an MP3 player, it's way too bulky. It is a good movie player but since you have to convert, I don't think that's worthwhile either.

Since the PSP has a smaller slice of the market, it's risky to buy one. There are a few good games out on it now, but it might turn out that there aren't that many more coming. I certainly don't have any on my to-buy list...

On the other hand, the DS's RPG library is weak as hell so far. With the exception of the super hardcore RPG Etrian Odyssey, I don't think I've played any remotely good RPG on it yet. It's great for puzzle and adventure type games though, as well as some pretty different/offbeat games (although that's also the field the PSP excels in, weird offbeat goofy games).

Oh yeah, and the DS is cheaper, I guess? But they're both not super expensive.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
