After seeing that new Mario game I'm kinda interested in getting a DS.

I know the lite comes out next month...but I have some night shoots starting tonight where it could me from being dead bored.

I know many will say PSP...but they are expensive. I dont love the controls. And I doubt I would play either system ALL the much. So, the nintendo is cheaper and has some fun games on it.

Whatcha think...yes or no?

 

I too, am thinking about getting one, just because of that damn Mario game.



But I have a PSP, so I'm not going to buy one.

 

why not, i bought my gamecube just for the nintendo only games, 1st one mario sunshine.

 

Well, my mom has a DS and a PSP. She says in many ways she likes her DS more...She can share games with me on either...But I know she has way more for the DS.

 

My japanese friends all into DS, none of them like PSP. Especially DS has that Brain game that got a lot of people hooked into it.

As for me, I like PSP, because I like racing games

 

your mom =

I played the PSP and the games to me are made for big screens not something I would want to play just because I am bored. I think thats why Nintendo shines. They keep it simple and have games you can play randomly not games like Grand Theft Auto where you are trying to shoot out of a window and not roll the car at the same time.

I would say get the DS thats only because I am not a fan of heavy gaming on the go, I like it simple. Plus watching movies isn't a big priority, it's smaller and you don't ever have to worry about nintendo format going under like UMD is going through now.

 

I think you hit it right there. I really simple quick games on portables. Mainly puzzle games, and few adventure games.

When I had my gameboy advance all i owned was Zelda and Super Puzzle fighter...I'm going to have puzzle fighter again if I buy a DS...great game.

 

whoa, your mom plays video games, thats suite

 

I was just at TRU and BB....I'm having 2nd thoughts...I always do with this shit...

 

buy a DS package from costco, play until the DS lite comes out, return, buy ds lite, WIN!

 

I was also thinking of getting a DS. My little bro has one so I could use his games, and we could battle each other. I would say get it, it will keep you intertained, and is not that expensive.

 

I have a PSP which is now on permanant video player mode heh. No good, easy to pick up, fast loading games. They are all shitty 3d games that dont work well on teh form factor. But when gt4 psp comes out

 

I wasnt going to get anything. But then I got a call for yet another night shoot. And this one seems like it will be hell...last night I got to chill in a wealthy actress/musician couples AMAZING house with wirelss and a 56" plasma with cable (and this is 2nd home with a big plasma...they look TERRIBLE.)

Anyway...the setup tonight does not look so comfy. So, after much debate between a DS and PSP..I went DS. Picked up the NEW Mario, Tetris, and Mario Kart....hope I have fun with it.

 

I got addicted to lumines on my moms. I liked untold legends as well.
I don't know...too much, too big, not enough good rated games.

 

knock yourself out

I must say...I do not regret my purchase.

New Mario, Tetris DS, and Mario Kart are all really fun games. I just got home from shooting that damn baby reality show...and this thing kept me entertained during all my downtime. I'm surprised at how much I really like it.

 

I play Lumines prettty much everyday when on the train and sometimes to get myself to sleep... lol. The highest score you can get is 999999....

 

I wasnt even considering a DS, simply because its a nintendo product. But the PSP has a bunch of features that I really dont care about. Media player, thats what I have my Ipod for. Movies, I have a personall DVD player for that. The DS is a lot cheaper, and a pretty good lineup of games. BUT The PSP is on sale at frys for 250 and it comes with 5 games..
What to do, what to do.

 

Define on sale for $250???

The PSP value pack is ALWAYS $250. What is Frys doing different?

 

I was unaware that there was a value pack.
Does the Value pack that you speak of come with 5 games or periphrials?

 

No it doesnt....its the system with case, earbuds, 32mb stick.

what 5 games? any 5 games?

 

Nah, the games are already determined. None of them are anything to speak of. But they are still 5 games.

The only games I would really want on PSP are GTA and GT4 mobile if/when they come out with it.

But the thing is, is if your lookin to spend 250, you could get the DS and a plethora of games.

 

What are the 5 predetermined games?

I'm happy with the DS...its actuallya really good system.

 

I just called Frys...I like going there...but they are pretty much worthless people.

Anyway, they said the bundle sale was only for Tuesday. So, it is no more.

 

Ah....Oh well... I know the people are worthless. Just about as much help as a Home depot or best buy employee...But i dont go there for great customer service.

I dont remember what the games were. I still have the paper at home, i can look when I get home. But I know the games were nothing really special...

I think im just gonna pick me up a DS and a few games and call it a day... Its got built in wifi right?

 

Its got built in wifi...but it seems to need the adapter which is extra??? I have to read the manual still. It did find my home connection last night.

I found the games listed in the bundle...crap save one. And of course you call frys they are like "do we have a bundle?" The big answer is, the promotion ended.

You can get a DS and 3 games for the cost of a PSP with nothing.

 

new mario game? pssssh.... thats a re release of the oldest of old school mario's

btw: in answer to ur question

should you?

 

You remain to be an ignorant moron.

Yeah, it the classic SMB...cept totally redone. And even more so so since you don;t read very well. I already did.

 

I have it connected through my wifi. I dont know why it sometimes tells me I needs the adapter...its only if you dont have a wireless connection.

So, i was actually online playing some random people in mario kart just a bit ago...getting my ass kicked. This is awesome.

 

can you choose who you play online? Like if you and a friend have it in 2 different states can you use usernames or something?

 

There is nothing wrong with old school mario....
Lets have a raise of hands who still plays Super mario bros 1-3


Wifi sells me....Imma go get me one. What games should I pick up other than mario kart.

 

I swear we should calculate how many thousands of dollars the US economy gets from Azers talking each other into buying things.

 

And you think that would get us what????? A tax cut????

 

Just got home and looked at the ad. It was for a 1 day sale. It was 239.99. Even tho its too late.
Games Included: (no wonder why they are giving them away)
The hustle (pool game)
Poker game
Untold Legends
and 2 other games that I cant read because of their lack of printing skills.
Heres the ad:

 

Holy shit are you serious?

I havent been able to find anyone who can beat me in Mario Kart.

*places DS lite on wishlist*

 

Yeah, im gonna wait on the DS till the lite comes out... Same price... Nice.

 

my thumbs get cramped as shit playing the DS...I can only imagine what the Lite will do.

We'll see. When it comes out I'll check it out. If it seem THAT much better I'll sell my DS on CL.

 

calm down Mr. B-Movie producer.........

i'm not ignorant, if i'm wrong i'll admit to it.. in this case i was wrong SORRY

 

who the fuck are you?

why bash?

 

...with the Tetris game, is there a multiplayer mode? I got really hooked on "Bejewled" multiplayer on an older cell. phone... but the discontinued it...
