What to buy

[Guild McCommunist]

The PSP is nice, played my friend's and Ratchet and Clank size matters is great.
One day i may consider getting the PS2, but the PSP won't be getting much more games once the PSP2 comes out so i will give the PSP a pass.

Just because it's not the here and now doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it. It has great games period, I wouldn't say it matters if there's not many more great ones coming out for it (but there's still Lord of Arcana, God Eater, The Third Birthday, etc to look forward to). If it already has great ones (which it does), then it's a system worth buying.

Don't have any friends that have the PSP and go on wi-fi.
My friend with the PSP never plays his PSP and doesn't have wi-fi.
I'd prefer getting the PS3 anyway cause my 3 best buds have it and go online alot, so it will be fun playing with them.
The only games that are intersting to play on the PSP to me is Ratchet and Clank, Little Big Planet and the Media stuff sounds great.
But PS3 would be a better option so i could play Call of Duty, bigger library of ratchet and clank and even more media stuff.
Call of Duty doesn't interest me on a handheld, though i had some good fun on Black Ops DS.
One day the PSP will be extrememly cheap pre-owned so i might get it then, it's also good cause i don't have to pay for games xD

I got my PSP 1000 pre-owned for $125 on Amazon with a nice charger cable (well charger/USB hookup cable) and a 2GB memory stick.

And it's much more of a single player system anyway, not a lot of worthy multiplayer games. None of my friends own a PSP but I still love mine to death.

PS3 is going to be as bad as the Wii in terms of online

well i read the whole thread, but this line stuck out to me as complete BS, i own both a wii and a ps3 and my ps3 is faaaar superior in terms of online, talking with buddies and actually having voice chat with any bluetooth mic in ur house drastically improves online experiences with ur friends

I think he meant as in cheating online rather than the quality of the service.

Yes. I thought we all established that the Wii's online is a fail. There is no comparing the Wii to the PS3's online services. With the system fully open, it's only a matter of time until people can unban (maybe) themselves, cheat more, and hack trophies. I sure as hell wouldn't want some resetting every stat, and unlocks on MW2 or any other game I worked hard on.

Solution: 3DS/Xbox Slim.
Get one of those and ONLY those.
The PS3 is EXACTLY an Xbox, only with crappier online gaming and it FREAKING COPIES Microsoft with the achievement thing. Trophies? Seriousleh?
Besides, Xbox is more powerfulllll

Not to mention the slim is cheap priced.
Mate it's like the fanboyism in you is dying.
If you were still an EXTREME fanboy (like myself) you'd get the 3DS (which I already preordered

)
