the ipod touch is too simple as a gaming device

if youre really into realism and great graphics then go for the psp, otherwise the nds lite/i beats the psp in almost all other aspects.

GBA slot is gay,end of story. And PS3 slim is the same as the normal PS3 except slim is slim.. DSi is way different then DS lite and DS phat.. who ever says it isn't shouldn't talk,or you are broke and cant afford one. http://ds.ign.com/dsi/ds-comparison.html Next gen is not how improved something is,its the gen its released with,like
Code:
Gamecube PS2 Xbox =Wii PS3 Xbox 360
.. OR!!!
Code:
Gamecube PS2 Xbox =Wii PS3 Xbox again with a thinner design
Thats considered next gen. (Generation)

I totally agree with you there,I was not talking about that AT ALL,thats Nintendo being a prick. I was saying DSi,the new DSi is nothing but a bigger screen... THAT'S IT! And better piracy protection. I will not buy that at all... Unless there is a cool hidden feature like virtual console,which I highly doubt since thats just a system for the "elderly"

Okay after reading the OP posts in this thread I think a PSP would be better for you. YOu can watch your videos, Play Mp3's emulators, and games. That being said if you werent in it for the games then get the iPod Touch (Apple products may be overpriced, but there built well and maintain a great resale value)

*On the DSi being Next gen comment*

The DSi is not next gen. It's a simple update/gimmick to sell more. Oh joy we added some cameras and a new home menu... and that's it. It's not worth it.

*to the OP* If you do get a DS get a Phat or a lite.

It is next gen,if they said it is,then it is. You really are GBAtemp's Grim Reaper,you are trying to kill him by making him get a DS lite or phat.

Just so you know. People can lie.
Also. I bought my phat on launch and I still use it to this day works great.

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.

I'd purchase a DSi. Why not get something newer? If you have the opportunity to get it, then go for it. After all, what is there to lose (other than GBA slot.

)?

What kind of games run only on 5.55 firmware on PSP? I'd guess GT? As for emulation and homebrew.....probably won't do much of that.

DSi is not considered next generation. I'd say it's a facelift or refresh of the DS lineup. I don't use the GBA slot though so that doesn't matter much to me.

I asked my friends and some say I should buy PSP, others say DS. There's a huge fanbase for PSP right now, I bet partially due to the release of GT.

@sstew. Grats on getting past 1337.

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
