Title: psp/nintendo ds advice please Post by: smashedagain on November 06, 2011, 02:12:29 PM my 3 boys are twins of 3 years 6 months and one 4 years 6 moths and whilst they may seem a little young they are playing games on my i phone.
i basically want some advice on anything that helps me to choose which hand held device would be best. i seem to remember when the psp first came out that a few of the young chinese kids in the casino had these jail broke?? and could get the games cheep, is this still the case?

Title: Re: psp/nintendo ds advice please Post by: rex008 on November 07, 2011, 09:22:05 AM For that age, DS is almost certainly a better option than PSP. Loads of games oriented at younger age kids. You don't necessarily need multiple copies of each game - on the DS if they play multi-player wireless, only one needs the games and the others connect to it and it downloads from the first. Quite nifty really.
And yes, you can get pirated copies of games, but speaking as someone who creates software for a living, you may as well be suggesting firebombing my office for the amount it tilts me.

Title: Re: psp/nintendo ds advice please Post by: Skippy on November 07, 2011, 01:41:38 PM Oh, and in terms of trying to answer the question, I think the PSP is nearing the end of it's life. The 3DS is pretty new, however it hasn't been a big success. I don't think the PSP was ever that big a success either.
Whether the machines are a success or not matters because if they are not a success, no one will bother writing games for them (for you to pirate). There is a new PSP coming out in Feburary apparently: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Vita. I think you've already noticed the main problem with this category- it's pretty much been killed off by Android or iPhone games on phones or tablets. |
