Choosing a gamer console: Sony PSP vs. Nintendo Diesu (DS)

By: Sobakin Alex

What state to choose?

1st Tip:

Used Sony PSP or Nintendo DS can cost you twice less which means that one can reduce costs up to $100, in case you are a lucky person and know the hidden places where to search for your console. Keep in mind that buying a second-hand game handheld console doesn't mean low quality. In this case you can turn on your optimistic approach and consider it was just tested by someone previous to you. As you can't find worn spots and other visible damages, you shouldn't worry much.

What to choose? Sony PSP against Nintendo DS

One surely knows there are 2 leaders in gamers' handheld devices - Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. Let's clarify what device is on the top.

Tip 2:

- Sony PlayStation Portable has sufficiently more raw power capacity than DS.

- Although Nintendo DS can surprise any game addict offering two displays in one console (with one being a touchscreen) the quality looses greatly to colorful and well-detailed Sony PlayStation Portable LCD.

- Judging the battery life, DS is a undoubted winner in this case.

- As game controls are easier for manipulating they are undoubtedly important things to mention. PSP is a undoubtful leader here, as control buttons everyone knows since childhood are sure better than touchscreen.

- At several points such as game loading speed DS wins as in this case there's no need to spend time to load complex graphics.

- If we refer to portability, the Nintendo DS's design is a pure winner because as soon as you close it, all the important parts like screen are kept safe from scratches and other injuries, while PSP needs to be put in some jacket to protect large screen.

- Compatible with high capacity UMD discs and famous Memory Stick Duo, PSP doesn't allow its owner only play games, but watch movies, use built-in MP3 player, display images and even use advanced services like Skype.

Underlining these facts it comes out that Sony PlayStation Portable wins the system power, controls and media support which are, by far more valuable advantages comparing to Nintendo's longer battery life, faster loading time and portability. It's unnecessary to guess the winner.

Simply the best Internet deal.

1rd Tip:

- Right, find some time to visit your local shop, but just in order to test Sony PSP. You don't wish to pay unreasonably high price, right? So Internet is your choice.

- Your next step is to find a reliable shop providing the most affordable price. In true you can find one, but prepare to spend much time and whole process is so boring.
