I'm currently contemplating saving up some money to purchase a DS, and I was wondering what's the better handheld console?
I'm leaning towards the DS, because it's backwards compatible with some GBA games I have. Then again, the PSP graphics look pretty nice....But the DS has some games coming out for it later this year I'm interested in...
-
It's a tough call. I kept my DS for about four months, the lack of good games really stung. It's a shame that a good chunk of the DS' library is made up of GBA ports with touch-screen minigames...or N64 ports that aren't even optimized for the system. If you're into Nintendo, just go ahead and go with the GBA SP.
The PSP is a very nice system and outside of games it has some very nice features if you can afford the extra memory. It's already replaced my iPod and I REALLY like the video features. Not to mention that the launch line-up was ALOT better than what was found on the DS. However there is a disturbing amount of racing games being released... You're also getting a complete console experience with the games--I'm highly anticipating the portable Devil May Cry. Also, given the fact that the thing connects to a computer via USB, it's only a matter of time before someone figures out how to emulate 16 bit games and even GBA games on the system.
Now, I'm a console whore. If a new console or AAA title comes out, I buy it. Since you're more of a casual gamer, wait until E3. Wait until you see some of the heavy hitters in action before you plunk down your $150-200. (I say $200 because the non-value pack PSP will probably be about that.) In my opinion, the DS is really fucking up. Nintendo isn't porting the games it should be and games that are pretty much done won't be out until fall because there are fucktards who want handheld games with online capabilites. It would be beyond easy for them to port something as simple as Super Smash Bros. and have it be a hit...

PSPs apparently are fragile, and bruise like a ripe tomato.
-
Kind of like your balls.
-
Like yours don't?
-
DS is pretty terrible.
PSP is pretty terrible.
Take your pick.
-
Gee Tap-Tap, that was so well educated and intelligent a response you've totally convinced me!
I'm going to wait on the DS/PSP anyway, The games I do want don't come out till august or beyond, so I'll have plenty of time to see what comes out. When is E3 anyway?
-
It's April 8th.
The PSP is about as fradgile as an iPod thanks to the moving parts inside. However, it comes with a case and a wrist strap, so dropping it while playing shouldn't be a concern.
-
Kind of like your balls.
:lol:

You like my balls? Why thank you.

I hope that's not the only response to testicles you ever give. ;)

Im waiting for a DS price drop and some different colors.
ill just play my gba games on it and use the touch pad for pictochat or whatever.
I do want that new ds princess peach game though
i dont think theres a single psp game i like...no wait darkstalkers is good, and uhh i heard there was a metal slug game coming? maybe it was metal gear and i heard wrong.
ill save that $250 and buy a new teevee
-
Yeah. I might look into getting a used one. the SP charge cable is the same one as the DS, and you can get the Stylus' Cheap enough.
Also, I don't really trust sony products. Both PS2's I've gotten have conked out on me, whil the original NES we have STILL WORKS.
-
For some reason, E............. I pictured you as this really skinny guy.

I think in the long run the DS is gonna be the better system. That is until the next Gameboy comes out. It'll probably have hte touch screen like the DS, play mp3's and movies, maybe GC games too.
-
I dont think it will play GC games, for some reason I think disks and portables just dont mix. Cartriges rock.
-

WHOA NOW. HOLD UP. What was I DOING in your dream?!?!
And Skinny? Boy, what part of 6'4" says SKINNY? I posted my grad pic up here a while ago, I am NOT skinny.
-

Maybe they'll make cases for it like minidiscs where you can put your GC discs in. Plus, ever heard of a portable CD player?
-
The whole idea of Nintendo doing something like that is laughable.
-
I say keep the SP, more 2D games!
-
WHOA NOW. HOLD UP. What was I DOING in your dream?!?!
You really don't want to know.
-
Did it involve a toothbrush and underwear?
-
The former, No. The latter, Yes.
-
Ouch.
-
:x
-
Now You HAVE to tell me.
-
"Rated PG For Fantasy Violence and Scary Images."
Toothbrushes & underwear aren't necessarily friends.
-
Now You HAVE to tell me.
She told me but it didn't involve any underwear. I must've gotten the safe version. God help us. God help us all. Except Handy, because he doesn't want God's help N E way.
-
My toothbrush vibrates...
-
My electric razor does.
It has other uses...
-
Why dont you just get some guy with parkinsons to use a straight razor on you, same effect.
-

Damn straight. I'll do my own dirty work, thank you.

So spill the beans, dammit!!!

GEEZ HOW DENSE CAN YA BE? IT WAS A SEX DREAM!

I did that once. Now I have NO EARS!!!
-
GEEZ HOW DENSE CAN YA BE? IT WAS A SEX DREAM!
DUH! But I wanna know if I was any good!!!
-
HA!
-
Don't "HAH" me, you one eyed bastich!
-
Okay, but I'll continue to "HA" you...
-
..BAAHH! At least I have depth perception!!
-
You mean "BAH", Emmy. "BAAHH" could bring Flossie out of hiding. :unsure:
-
Depth preception is overrated.
-
Only by those who don't have it!!!
-
I can compensate.
-
GEEZ HOW DENSE CAN YA BE? IT WAS A SEX DREAM!
DUH! But I wanna know if I was any good!!!
Emmy you pervert! :lol:
-
WELL? WAS I?
-
I'd assume so...
-
Aww yeah. I'm such a pimp.
-
Zero has convinced himself that he can hear distance.............. or something.
-
No. I can just hear better than most people. I judge distance by observing shadow and foreground objects.
-
That could be. Or.
Maybe it isnt'.
-
Aww yeah. I'm such a pimp.
Handing you your cake and apparently eating it, too.
-
Who the fuck is that.
-
Emerid.
-
He needs a haircut and some grooming, and new glasses.

Done, Done, and Done. That pic is over two years old.
-
Yeah, then how about uploadin a new one there, alright? We don't need to see that.
-
When i decide you are worthy.
-
Really now?
-
Now it kind of looks like you're in the process of jumping out of the cake, Emmy. :lol:
-
:lol:
-
:blink:
-
Or the cake is spitting him out.
-
Emmy dude what is with the fucked up neck hair!?!? :blink: :joe: :lol:
-
He said it was a split-goatee.
-
Shut up, Merla. That's his chin.
-
I wonder what place it had in her sex dream...
-
I have since disregarded that in favor of a more classic goatee.
-
The classic Sex God goatee?
-
Cheezy Movie Biker Goatee?
-
You should also get a blue mohawk and a nose ring...and grimace a little more
-
So Gwynn. How are you gonna get rid of all the hair folicles on your face?
-
electrolysis.
-
Why would anyone get rid of their eyebrows? Apparently it's suppose to be a Latina thing to shave them off and draw them in. Whateva. Grostesque.
-
I notice that all too much.
-
Everyone has hair follicles on their face.
I know some chicks who draw their own eyebrows on, its no more grotesque than facial piercings. You can get them tattooed on these days too, no more pluckage, it sounds appealing I must say.
-

I've only seen that on puertoricans and cubans..maybe other latin countries too, but in the ghetto. blah

Black and white chicks do it too.
-
My mother only fraws her eyebrows because she doesnt have any.
-

Hey hold on. When I had this dream I had no idea what Emmy looked like. Emmy didn't look anything like himself.
Sorry about that chin thing I wasn't paying attention. Emmy I think you should loose all facial hair.
-
So...You're saying that if you'd known waht I really looked like, the dream wouldn't'v e been as good? That hurts...I could cry! Really!
....So why no facial hair?
-
Could be a good reason, Emmy. Eddie goes between the 'stache & goatee and clean-shaven. He looks great both ways; however, the sides of my neck are VERY ticklish, and the goatee is equally tickley. Kind of affects *those* moments when I suddenly burst out in squirmy giggles. :P
-

I'm not saying the dream wouldn't have been good. I am saying because I didn't know what you looked like you looked different in my dream.
Facial Hair doesn't suit you.
-
That's funny. A Lot of people say they like me with facial hair. Hmmmm....
-
Heh, I actually just grew out a goatee.
-
Post a pic. You probably look like Satan now.
-
yes please
-
If you happen to have a red trident or a forked tail lying around the house, feel free to incorporate them in somehow.
-
...Uhhh...Maybe later.....
-
Post a pic. You probably look like Satan now.
As soon as I get my camera back from my friend, I will.
-
Your friend Mephistopheles.
-
Oh God, I assume you just saw Team America...
-
And I assume you're unfamiliar with Faust.
-
I'm sorry, I read that as "Mestopoholes".
-
No sex or goatees, but I dozed off this morning with the TV on and dreamed that the Banana Splits were trying to help me put anti-freeze in my car and I wouldn't let Fleegle (the dog) near the container because I was afraid he woud drink it. :wacko:
-
That's funny. A Lot of people say they like me with facial hair. Hmmmm....
Well post a current pic so I can see. All I had to go by was that old pic.
-
Just watch, we'll get the triple split goatee or something equally weird. In other news, I think Emmy's female doppleganger's in my Tai Chi class.
-
HA! Get a pic!
-
I don't see why you need a pic. You already know what she looks like.
-
I WANT A PIC! Is she as sexy as me?
-
Sure, why not.
-
She also has this giant ass that keeps sucking in her shorts. I haven't seen your ass so I can't say if that part's the same. I'll ask Merla when she comes home.
-
Where is Merla's pic?
-
On a floppy disc.
-
OK then!
-
When did this turn out to be about Merla's pic? I'm not even sure what pic of Merla he has.
-
Then you post one.
-
When did this turn out to be about Merla's pic? I'm not even sure what pic of Merla he has.
I have the pic of Merla in a navy outfit and then the ones where you were kids and she had big-ass grandma glasses.
-
Was she a kid in the navy outfit?
-
Late teens or early twenties, I guess.
-
Was she a kid in the navy outfit?
if she was, doug would have that pic already
-
It was posted well before Doug's time. Back in a time when we did Friday chats every week.
-
I have no idea what picture you speak of.
-
I'll find it, It's around. I think it's on the "Knurph" disc actually.
-
you have a disc of him?
do you have a disc of me?
-
I don't have a pic of me, but here's my little brother when he was EMceein' a Film festival.
-
Was she a kid in the navy outfit?

I wouldn't fap to Merla ever, legal or illegal. :x
-
Is that your reflection in the window?
-
Your brother looks like Fester with a toupee.
-
I wanted to say it... but I didn't.
He also looks incredibly evil.
-
"Holy crap! It's the children of the cr0n!"
-
I keep saying he looks sinister in that pic but nobody believes me!!
-
Heh. I said that about MY sister for years...
-
Let's do a test. Has your little brother...
..ever tried to kill you?
..ever tried to kill you?
..ever tried to kill you?
..ever tried to kill you?
..ever tried to kill you?
..ever tried to kill you?
..ever worn a dress and tried to kill you?
-
Has he ever tried to swallow you whole by unhinging his jaw?
-
Have you ever yelled "Beetlejuice" three times... followed by his strange and immediate arrival?
-
:lol: thats sooo meaan
-
..Actually no. but He got a gun for his birthday!
-
It's the brow. That's what makes him look so sinister.
-
Yes! And he has a gun!
-
It's only a .357 Magnum revolver!
-
Watch your back!
-
I loved that game...
But it's your brother's smile too.
@.x
-
It's the smile of an angel!
-
An Angel that is plotting to steal Gomez's fortune.
-
He's has a gun?!? Why?
-
Tom just told you.
-
Not to kill his brother, Emmy, I mena the real reason.
-
To ward off teh emu thieves.
-
I wonder if emu meat is tasty.
-
Ostrich is supposed to be REALLY good.
-
It is. I've had Ostrich Fajitas, fucking great. Tasted like steak.
-
Cause my bro likes guns. he's also got I think a small shotgun? I'm not sure.
-
It is. I've had Ostrich Fajitas, fucking great. Tasted like steak.
My girlfriend's soon to be brother-in-law is from South Africa (white guy, actually). He was telling me about it and how it tastes like really tender steak. I really want to try some now.
-
Yeah, it's good.
-
I had emu chile once. But not ostritch.
