Sony PSP vs Nintendo DS

[Sh!fT_23]

As for one of your questions you need a pandora's battery if you want to have custom firmware on a psp slim, but if you have the phat one you just need to downgrade your psp to fw1.5 then upgrade to a custom firmware from there.

Thanks for that knoxvillz.
Yeah I'm stil undersided because I'm a pretty heavy gamer. Got a PS3 a little while ago and just gave my PC an overhaul (kept the speakers) and already have the DS. With this in mind I kind of need to know the PSP is gonna be worth my time otherwise I'm basically wasting $300.
So yeah, if anyone has more info on the PSP 3000 and whether can be custoimized that'd be sweet and any more of your opinons are a great guide as well.
Cheers guys and thanks for the help so far.

btw, once again if anyone knows if I can and how to add a poll to this topic that would be appreciated (still a noob temper, soz).

as far as i know the psp 3000 is said to be "unhackable" but it hasn't been released yet so no one really knows for sure. but i'm sure Dark Alex or someone will eventually find a way to install custom firmware on it

One of my mates is gonna sell me his for $50, ZOMGWTFBBQ!!! Yeah, I think I'll take it. Just gotta make sure it's in decent condition but, as long as the screen isn't fucked and it still charges and all that shit def buying. SSSAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have both and i use both of them all the time. If there is anyway you can have both go for it. Both have great games and both have stinkers its like any other system. Though i will say you have to use custom firmware to really unlock what the psp can do.

For great games PSP FTW, almost every shit you want is available on PSP, fighting, racing, free-roaming... and with fuckin' great graphics too, as somebody who played SNES, PSX, and PS2 alot, I find that PSP's controls fit perfectly to my hands. What's more, PSP was made with ISOs in mind, unlike NDS< all you need is a memory stick Pro Duo, drag and drop your PSP ISOs and you're ready to fly

For unique games NDS FTW, what other handheld allow you to play with touchscreen and mic? Not to mention 2 screens at a time. While NDS games won't compete with PSP in terms of graphics, they're balanced in terms of gameplay.

Get both of them, it's better thay way

Get both of them, it's better thay way

I'll agree with that, like I said my mate offered me his for $50 so if that price holds up definately a big YES from me. Yeah quite obviously they are quite different systems and honestly PSP beats any handheld in the graphics and the DS kills for it's uniqueness so I think getting both is probably a good option.
It's basically the same as people buying all the consoles like PS3, XBOX 360, Wii (and PC of course) so why not when you have good options for handhelds.

If your getting a PSP get the first one (PHAT,FAT,1000 series) in terms of hombrew the first one is da best.

got my PSP Friday last week, hacked it saturday, it's now sitting on my shelf waiting for the 4GB memory card to come through, then I have a bunch of games to try, TBH I have played Astonishia Story (think thats how its spelt) on my old 512MB phone MSP and I actually enjoy the game, only problem is it's a bit over the place but looking at the other games I can see the PSP will have me gripped for a while, but at the same time my DS is still next and my wii connected to my TV so I have 1000s of games to play, just depends how I feel, in my opinion having them all is better than having just one... 360 Flashed next for me

lol

PSP and DS are both great consoles. Having both > either one or the other.

btw,

This is just stupid.
