The GBA slot is gay, huh? That's quite a mature and well-conceived argument you've got there; and you claim to be 18?
The DSi might be worth it for some people, but not everyone needs (or wants) the extra "features" the DSi offers; so perhaps these people would rather save the extra money to spend on something else. And a lot of people still play GBA games, which kind of requires the "gay" GBA slot offered by the DSL (or I guess you can spend the extra money on a DSi, plus whatever flashcart you want for NDS games, and then on top of that an iPlayer for GBA emulation... gee, it's starting to sound like getting GBA games running on a DSi costs a fair bit more than just the difference between it and the DSL). As for the price, the actual difference between the DSL and DSi is marginal, and is unlikely to break anyone either way... the fact some people dislike the DSi has nothing to do with their being "broke", or not able to afford it; and only a shallow and materialistic teenager would think to suggest that. And in all honesty, a person who likely still has mommy and daddy buying most of his stuff for him shouldn't be talking like that.
And for christ's sake, the DSi is not next-gen. It's a slight update of existing hardware, not a completely new device. It's no more "next-gen" than the DSL was to the Phat. Get over your fanboy-ism.
exactly the gba slot is not gay mabye for you it is buta lot of eople actually buy a gameconsole to play "GAMES" not to record your voice or take a sucky quality image IMO dsi is not next gen because it playes the same ds games its just an upgrade the ds was next gen from the gba beacuse it had a new line of games but the dsi is just for people who dont have a ds ye for poele with a ds its not a good upgrade at all i used to have on and sold it for a psp instead ite a much better value fr many having a dslit and a psp rather than having a dsi and lite sorry to burst your bubble but your statement fails
I am thinking of selling my psp and getting an ipod touch 3g. the psp doesn't have many games that interest me, but the emulators on there are good. plus i don't like the size of the psp (even a slim). i like that the touch has thousands of apps, but i would still like emulators to work. what emulators are there for the touch, and how well do they work.
thanks
thanks
There are emulators for NES, GB/C, GBA, SNES, SMS/GG, Genesis, PSX, N64 and probably other systems. The problem is with the buttons... For example: imagine trying to hold the right trigger button at the same time as A, B, X, or Y in a SNES emulator. Action games are definitely not good to play because of this. Also the lack of feedback from 'buttons' makes it harder to play IMO.
I'm sorry I didn't read every post on here but I think I can help. I own a ds lite with an r4, psp slim with 5. something m33 cfw, jailbroken iphone 3gs. Anyone that says dsi apparently doesn't know that the battery lasts 2.5 hours. DON'T EVEN THINK DSI. It now comes down to PSP, DSL, Itouch. If you want to play any games, itouch is out because it can't support off screen buttons (realistically). Sooooo ds or psp.........it boils down to this. To their credits respectively,
1) DS has: zelda ph, diddy kong racing, ff3&4, chrono trigger, new super mario, pokemon, metroid hunters, animal crossing megaman, mario 64 and can play music crappily. You need a flashcart (r4 m3 etc...) and depending on the cart you can have a micro anywhere from .5 gigs to 16 gigs.
2) PSP has: CRISIS CORE, DISSIDIA, GOD OF WAR, GITAROO MAN, MEGA MAN MHX, TALES RM, TALES OF VS, MONSTER HUNTER, CAN EMULATE CONSOLES UP TO PSX (SO FF7,8,9 XENOGEARS, you get the point), HAS VIDEO OUT, IS A MEDIA PLAYER, SEXIEST SCREEN ON THE MARKET, FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE, terrible storage.
If you want another way to look at it, a crappy touch-screen wii, or a sub-par ps2. Oh and one other thing. I played ds games on the psp. I did't play psp games on the ds.
Hope that helped

DS or DSI would be a perfect machine if it would have some sort of TV out capabilities. Its is small and very sturdy. You can find a used DS for very cheap (around 65$ in my area) DSI is worth the extra bucks.
If you are Hardcore gamer PSP is for you thats all.
Ipod Touch HAS the TV out but for gaming its sucks. For movies its awesome.
so...
not really a gamer----------------------- IPOD
1-10 hours a week playing games ----- DS
10+ hours a week playing games ------ PSP

Well as of now, I'm just waiting for a deal to show up. I'm leaning towards the DSL and PSP, heck maybe even the PSP Go. I'll probably regret it though if I get the PSP Go. No one seems to like it, and I myself don't like the design. It's probably not that good to hold either compared to the regular PSP.
As for the Ipod Touch, ya I'd only be buying it for the movie and music capabilities. Not too many good games compared to PSP and DSL. Plus it lacks the ability to insert a SD card. The good thing is that I can browse on the iPod Touch, but my phone can do that too.

Why not think for yourself instead of listening to whatever garbage N's marketing department comes up with.
Even if they were the same cost id get the dsl for the gba slot.

All there is that it really has is a shitty camera (cell-phone cameras/digital cameras anyone?). It's useless. An SD card port (useless unless somebody wants to mod it, then they could just get a flash cart), and DSiWare (I've not even heard anything about DSiWare, it must suck pretty badly to not even get a mention every now an again. The only real thing that's constant with the DSi is the update able firmware...which is...Well, useless. In fact, it's actually BAD because it screws with flash carts, making it a CON, not just useless. Not to mention, you get an SD card slot at the expense of your GBA slot (No GBA games fail, and no slot-2 for GBA loading Homebrew either *facepalm* Besides, DSLs will be rereleased in 2010 with bigger screens.omgpwn666 said:I can tell you right now that who ever picks DS is a filthy liar. The only people who say DS are those who have the DS and cant afford DSi,think about it,DSi is the DS and more!
I say find your DSLite or buy a new one.
I have a PSP-3000. I bought it about a month ago. I have cfw 5.03 GEN-A on it. I have downloaded more than 30 games for it and all of them are free bcos I hacked my PSP. I can even watch youtube videos on it. I can also watch videos from basically every other video website (vimeo, google video, metacafe,etc). I highly recommend uyou buying a PSP. The ds doesnt have any graphics to talk of. Dont believe me? go watch youtube videos on games such as burnout and need for speed on the psp and ds.....compare them. Compared to the psp, the ds graphics lokks like a shit splatter on the screens. so what if it has a touchscreen? The web browser is so crappy that you are better off imagining google than actually viewing it on the ds. The psp has video out to tv and can also output video to a computer screen throygh the usb connection......the ds cant even come close. Look at the battery life (it should tell u how powerful a device is). the dsi xl with two 4.2 inch screens lasts 10 hours compared to 3 hours in the psp with a single 4.3 inch screen. The psp actually has 4 processors (dont believe me, go check it out on wikipedia). It is so much more powerfull than the ds. So, my reccomemdation, get the PSP. IT is so much better than a stupid ds or ipodhttp://gbatemp.net/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif

So it can be cracked and made to run with custom firmware... Do you have to put it on standby though instead of powering it off?
As for graphics. Ya I know bout those. I don't care bout the graphics because everyone knows the graphic quality between DS and PSP is night and day. Half of what you said doesn't matter much to me, except for maybe the battery life.
Get a DS or DSi. I have 3 of those devices (DS Lite, PSP 2000, and iPhone 3G). The DS has the best games by far. My PSP is gathering dust, there hasn't been anything decent released for it forever (it does have some good emulators though). The iPhone/iPod touch is a great device; I carry my iPhone everywhere with me, but it sucks for gaming.
So explain why I played Phantasy Star Zero for 4 hours straight on my DSi and the battery wasn't even half dead? Your retarded notions about the DSi having short battery life ruin what little credibility you have and now shows that you are an idiot who knows nothing about the DSi seeing as how you don't even damn well own one. The DSi battery lasts at least 8 hours, even with an M3i Zero card which eats up more power, so you sir are a fucking idiot.Amadeviant said:
Without my laptop, I've survived on an iPod touch.
I had a simmilar situation a while ago with my DS lite, and trust me, it was painful.
its also good BEFORE you jailbreak it.
The games suck though, Peggle is one of the better ones, and its easier to play on PC...
the DS Lite is teh best DS product to get, cause DSi's shovelware features were intended for retarded who are "special" (much like cycloDS users/fanboys) and the DSi XL is kinda proof.
The PSP I've heard good things about, I havn't done much research into it yet, but I'll probably get one soon, and from what I know so far, I won't regret it much.
Overall, an iPod sucks for gaming, wins at everything else, a DS sucks for everything-except-gaming (decent gameplay otherwise games don't sell) and the PSP has brilliant games cause it isn't underpowered.
^if you can understand that, take a cookie
