Web browsing on PSP is painful -- a bit better on Slim because of the extra RAM but still is crap. I am extremely glad I have an iPod Touch for when I need to look up something online and don't want to/can't get to a computer.

You win nothing, as there's no argument. They'll try and make you pay for shit you more than likely already own; Nintendo won't pass up an opportunity to go squeezing money out of customers.

As far as this thread's concerned though, I'd save your money and see if something comes along that sparks your interest.
And Sony didn't do the same fucking thing with the PSP, oh please don't give me that load of BS

I have 64mb ram on my psp 3000 web browser using ChickHEN and Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-A. Thats as fast as slim,im sure browsing with iPod Touch is extremely faster.

I had a PSP for about 6 months and sold it cause the games suck nuts.

I prefer the PSP better because has better graphics and sound than Nintendo DS.
PSP speakers are tinny as fuck compared to the DSi's speaker.

There's always headphones.
+1. I always use headphones when watching stuff. I don't want to disturb the people in my surroundings.

The plus side of getting another DSL is that I can DS party with my friends. Something that the PSP cannot do. Heck you can't even have like a PSP party.

Edit: Pretty sure the PSP speakers are better than the DSL speakers....
 
I have both the PSP & DSL. My preference is for the PSP because of its superior ability to play emulators. I do agree that the DSL has the better game library. As others mention, the PSP has the better screen.

. 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!

1)Camera
2)DSi Ware
3)Home Menu
4)Fun Camera tools,such as mirror mode and graffiti mode
5)Bigger Screen
6)Its next gen....

I prefer the DS lite, over that shitty DSi (shitty, imo)

Here's why.
1) I have an expensive 7 Megapixel digital cam, that also does video that I got as a gift a while back. Why would I want a crappy one on my DS?
2) Never cared for XBL stuff, or anything from the Wii store, so I wouldn't use the DSi one. Plus I'd have to use the console legit to do so, and nothing that appeals to me is out.
3) Who cares.
4) Webcams do it better.
5) They didn't design the 4,000+ ds titles to use that extra size, so no thanks.
6) The DSi is NOT next gen, no matter how many times you hear an idiot say so.
My special 7) No GBA slot. I still frequently use my Slot 2 expansion, so that's a major downer.

So, no, I'm not a liar, some people just don't need gimmicks on their gaming devices. I use my DS to play games, and sometimes play music; not take pics, surf the web, social networking, etc.

QFT...
I totally agree that the DSi is just another cashcow and the crappy resolution cameras (0.3MP -- WHAT A JOKE!), enlarged screen with same resolution aren't enough to force me to want a Slot 2-less, DSiWare capable device...
 
well if you only want to have a do it all device

get a psp, as far as i know the multimedia is kinda better than any ds

if you are more gaming centric go get a ds
if you are on the opposite get the ipod touch, so far only three games of in it that i like

when the ds lite came, i want it, it can be stored in the pocket without looking that you are carrying a brick or having an erection, when dsi got here, no my phone can do better than that in term of multimedia so.....

Agreed. I did the same with my NDS once I got the PSP.
Some say the NDS has a better game libary I just do not see how.
I sure enjoyed playing on the NDS but the games could not really intrest me longer than an hour.

Greetz, Vistabuser.
 
It's come down to getting either the PSP or DSL. I don't see why I should get DSi, except for paying much more to get a bigger screen with the same crappy resolution.

If I do get a PSP, is there anything wrong with getting a PSP-3000? My friend says that these PSPs can't be shut off if you hack it. Can you go into detail on this?

No it really doesn't, not on the radio anyway, they sound completely awful. The PSP Go speakers are much better then the old models.

If you shut it off you'll have to rehack it or something, I dunno. You'll just have to have it on sleep mode when you're not using it, which isn't really all that bad. I say get a 3000 if you can't find a 1000 or old 2000 somewhere.
