So, I have reached a new level of nerd-dom by doing this, but here are some photos that I snapped of my PSP, DSLite, and GBMicro.

After some long thought about it, I'll just say this: The graphics on the PSP are the best, the games on the DSLite(so far) are the most fun, and the Micro is the best as far as the vintage factor, and the thing is freakin small. The PSP's loading times can be pretty bad, but I've noticed the newest software updates must have taken care of some of those loading times because this one isn't nearly as bad as the PSP I had last year.

Size and weight wise the GBMicro owns both of them, but the DSLite comes in second. While it is smaller in square inches than the PSP, it is SUBSTANTIALLY lighter, and is designed much better, ergonomically. Also, if you want to carry around a bunch of games with you, the DSLite owns all. The game carts are about the same size as a SD memory card.

All in all, I would say if you're a serious gamer, the PSP is for you...if you want a fun system thats fast and can fit in a cargo short pocket, then go DSLite, and if you want something that you'll confuse with your cell phone, go GBMicro. Here are some pictures:







p.s. Another cool thing to check out is the limited edition region free Ceramic White PSP. You can find them on ebay. They look freakin' sweet.

here's a pic of that white PSP that I wish I would have been able to get.

the little brown one looks cool

i owuld of voted for that hot sauce or w/e but it wasnt a choice. PSP all the way... fightnight is excellent.

micro - mobile super ninterndo (but not as good)
DS - revolutionary but not as much capabilities

i cant believe you have a girlfriend!!!

I can believe you don't. ZING!

Now I want a PSP.

The fun games are what do it for me, so that is why I have a DS Lite. It does feel a lot better in my hands that my old GBA, as I don't cramp up at all after playing for a while.

Seeing I have a PS2 at home, if I want to play sports games and the like, I would choose that over a PSP. It seems that there is a lot of overlap in the PS2 and PSP games that I would even want to play...so, the DS Lite gives me games that are fun and that are not available for my home system...so to me, it makes sense as it gives me more games to play!

Plus, Nintendo has the games and just the overall feel of gaming that I grew up with, in high school (SNES) and college (N64), so it just feels right to be playing more Nintendo games...plus, several of my friends have a DS Lite as well, so multiplayer is king!

Wii?

The bathroom is over there ----->

While a little off topic, I think it does have some relevance...the whole point of any system, handheld or not, is to play games (or perhaps some secondary fetaure of a system). I have never bought into the feeling that one system was better than another...

Basically, if I like a game that is on a XBox 360, then if I really need to play that game, I am going to play it on that system. If a PS2 or PS3 has a game that I really want to play, then I am going to play it on that system...so on and so on.

I could care less about the system, other than wanting it to play the games I want to play...(honestly, I have that same philosophy with computer, which is why I have OSX, Windows and Linux boxes at home...some apps are better than others in different environments!)

I think the Wii's motion sensor tech is probably the smartest thing Nintendo could have done at this point in the game. They've already lost a lot of steam due to the fact that the public perception is "they only make kids games". The wii won't be as graphics heavy as the 360 or PS3, but neither will the price tag. It looks like it'll be a butt-load of fun to play, and after all...isn't that the poiint?

That's one trend that's IMHO is a double-edged sword. It's always a plus to have gnarly graphics; but those graphics don't always have to be hyper-realistic for the game to be enjoyable.

For me the great feel of pixel art / sprites are half the fun!

speaking of great pixel art... heres a game i made with terrible pixel art!!!!!!!
