HMMM.

Ok so what genre of games are you willing to spend money on?

(like Chrono Trigger when it'll be released.)

Fuck you Rei.. Your whats wrong with industry GODDAMMIT *Angry pose*

PSP all the way. Seriously just buy the PSP with a game or two then get a 4 gig memstick and throw yourself into the world of the past. Playing PSOne, SNES, NES, Genesis, Movies, Music, Homebrew games, I could go on. Also the PSPs game library ain't that bad anymore.

@ Tau: *confused* ???

Do you need to crack your DS in any way to do that kind of stuff?

Nah it doesn't need anykind of cracking, just the card. M3 and Cyclo Ds are the best ones.
I usually buy best games, but there's so many games that just aren't worth it, and that's where the card comes handy.

Though I've considered getting PSP too...

Yeah, I was planning on doing what Rei- does, but I generally play RPGs, and Brain Age.

I'd bet there will be far more RPG releases for DS than PSP. Square's continously releasing something for DS, and all the time I keep hearing about some new RPG for DS.
There's even a Suikoden coming for DS, what the hell?

I had to choose between them before. I chose the PSP.

Words cannot express my regret.

I have both and for a while I did not play DS at all. Part of this was that I had haxored my PSP and part of it was that the DS did not have a ton of games that I wanted for the first few years. However I play DS all the time now and have not played PSP for a very very long time. I would recommend a DS over a PSP big time. My PSP actually has like . . . a lot of dust on it.

Neither system is worth the cost they are. The PSP doesn't have a huge library of games, but playing SNES, NES, etc wherever you want is the huge plus, at least for me. The DS has tons of shovelware, but the RPGs that do come out for it are pretty good.

But let me see if I can make a quick list of RPGs for you...

PSP:
Crisis Core
Riviera
Final Fantasy Tactics
Jeanne d'Arc
Valkyrie Profile
Final Fantasy 1 Anniversary
Final Fantasy 2 Anniversary
Tales of Eternia
Disgaea
Brave Story

Upcoming PSP RPGS:

Final Fantasy 13 Agito(expect it by 2025)

DS:

The World Ends With You
Children of Mana
Advance Wars(I guess)
Etrian Odyssey

Zelda..?

Upcoming DS RPGs:
Dragon Quest IV
Dragon Quest V
Dragon Quest IX
Sonic Chronicles
Kingdom Hearts 358 some shit

Yes, that's a lot of RPGs. And yes, I know I missed tons.

Other strategy RPGs for DS, there's Advance Wars DS, Luminous Arc (which I highly recommend) and they're releasing Luminous Arc 2 in November. I want it now. Gr.

I'm a DS supporter, but mine is trashed. The top screen is cracked, the picture is fading to white, it has a red ting, one hinge is broken, the L and R buttons are burned out, the GBA slot is bent in and cracked.... In spite of all that, if I really needed to, I could still get it to be fully functional, with much inconvenience.... And GBA games that don't need L/R to play work great on it still (I moved the GBA screen to the bottom one).

I've played about 100 more hours on Pokemon Pearl under the above conditions. Go DS.

What the hell did you do to the poor thing!? Jeez.

It was an especially long debate tournament, okay? I was bored.

So naturally, it turned into a game of capture the flag, only with a DS (and without my consent).

Who the crap does that? Even a soda bottle full of rocks would've worked, and you know... not expensive.

The DS has Elite Beat Agents. Which is one of the best handheld games I've ever played.

And Meteos which is also a great game. I got these two when I bought my DS and I've had a hard time justifying buying anything else because I just don't need it!
