PSPgo or DSi xl/ll?

[Monkeroony]

Hmm this is really tricky.

George pretty much confirmed my fear, I'll have to wait because the pspgo seems more like my cup of tea.

On the other hand, the PSP now has an excellent library of games, and they all sell for cheap. The 3000 hardware is incredible. Well, to be honest the battery kinda sucks when you take full use of the system's capabilities..
But if you can get one of the older ones that came with PSP1000 and get a "humped" battery cover it's good, I did it.

If a PSP2 comes out in the near future it will cost lots of money, will probably not play the current games, so it will have a shit library to begin with, the new games will be expensive, etc..

I think a PSP3000 is a great deal. My 3 cents..

Yeah, PSP 3000 is a great deal. You can get all the games the PSP go gets once you buy a nice big Memory Stick Duo. Plus Valkyria Chronicles 2 comes out this summer, if you are a fan of VC or wanted to try it.

Get a GPX2 thingy, it emulates Mega Drive, SNES and a bunch of other stuff, so you can just play ROMS of your favourite games! (Providing you own them already of course, I wouldn't want you PIRATIN' GAEMS) Not sure if it has MAME emulation, but if it does, I'm questioning why I don't have one already...

EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GP2X

OMG OMG OMG it has MAME support. I got to get one of these things!

I'm not trying to get people not to buy a PSP, the more people that buy it the more people to play Phantasy Star Portable 2 with me.  :evil:

Oh right, Phantasy Star Portable 2.  I've played the demo for that game, it rawks.

I do not think either are worth it honestly.

I have a feeling Sony is going to start letting you play some PSP games on the PlayStation 3 sometime in the future, at least eventually. Not just that, but I feel the PSP lineup is extremely poor, and what games are actually good/great/amazing are extremely short and have little replay incentive.

The Nintendo DSi does not have many good features outside of what the DS can do already, but I will be getting one mainly for Shantae 2: Risky's Revenge (it is coming to DSiWare for some batshit stupid reason). I will probably get the XL because it has a better battery life, and I probably will prefer a bigger screen.

In my opinion, if you have to think about this, then you should probably not buy either. There are tons and tons of other great games out and coming out on the platforms you already own that are fantastic, but I guess it all comes down to your income and just how much you want to play games on the go.

GP2X dude, I'm tellin' ya.

Especially if you like old-school actiony games, what could be better than an arcade emulator!

save your money for the ipad

I think I'll probably get the pspgo, it looks sleeker and has a bunch of games I'm interested in.
Plus I had a ds and have played the best of what the system has to offer.

However, is the gp2x really hard to get emulations on, how would I put neo geo and megadrive games on it?

Well I looked into it, since i think I might actually buy a GP2X Wiz.

Here is a website with all the emulators and things
http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/wiz.cgi

It has computer/Console/Arcade emulators, and even a DOSbox Emulator so you can probbaly even play Monkey Island games etc on it.

Actually, quick google search reveals, that the old point and click games do work

From what I've read, to get the emulators/games working you just copy the files onto an SD card and then select them on the handheld and away you go. I'm guessing it wouldn't be much different to getting them working on a PC.

[crackdude]

Well, yeah, the Wiz is pretty great. Just don't expect new releases. You play emulators and homebrew and that's it.

On the other hand, you won't spend any more money on games..

It apparantly plays video and music etc too, so I could use it for that as well.

It reads ebooks too!
HD video out. DivX encoding.
Photo viewer.
And it has many homebrew software.

A while ago I was thinking on buying the F300.. But it seemed to me rather dull to not be able to play new things. There is little to no official game development.. That pulled me off. But if emulating is what you most enjoy, there's no denying that the Wiz is the best console around!

Well I already have a DS for new stuff, but I often find myself wanting to play something on the train like an old fighter game or something like Simpsons Arcade. Not just that, but whne i have my DS, I have only one game available at once, but with the Wiz I could have potentially hundreds on hand, so I could play some Monkey Island, and then jump into King of Fighters 96 or something.
