Sony PSP vs Nintendo DS

Okay here anything goes with system against system. Me I'm going for color and theme wise for each.

Sony PSP
Now the PSP that I have just looked though has a grand counting total of 9 colors. (piano black, ceramic white, ice silver, rose pink, deep red, champagne gold, felicia blue, mint green, and lavender purple) The ice silver, ceramic white, and deep red versions are available as stand-alone models in Asia.

As part of the "Daxter", "Star Wars Battlefront", and "God of War" entertainment packs in North America (with a Darth Vader silkscreen on the ceramic white model and a Kratos silkscreen on the deep red model). The rose pink, champagne gold, felicia blue, and lavender purple versions are only available in Asia, and the mint green model is exclusive to Japan.

Several other special edition models, such as the Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops camouflage PSP, have also been released. (Wsh0 get on it and get that one.) The metallic blue, pink, and silver colors have been discontinued.

Re: Sony PSP vs Nintendo DS

Okay now that i am the owner of both. they are pretty much kickass in thier own perspective due to the games that you purchase for them.

NDS dual screen is nothing more then a handfull (literally) of kickassness. Which ever game you get you can eithe rplay the system upright or sideways for lefties or righties. NICE!

PSP mini plasma screen much like the NDS's are so full of color and both vibrant in every title.

Though for both systems, on some games there is a strang dot that can be seen on a black screen. (Highly annoying) It can be seen during gamply and makes you think if there is something wrong with your system.

Its so worth the money. You get to know the hitory of Zack and everything before how it is now. And with the NDS being excluded, they making a Final Fantasy XIII called Fabula Nova Crystallis, (new topic coming about that soon.) only for the ps3 which gets 2 out the 3 games and 1 for the 360 and the last one for the psp alone. Final Fantasy games are better on the psp compared to the NDS.

Re: Sony PSP vs Nintendo DS

It's boring, I beat it in 3 days just like the others. But if you'd like to you can play it if you wish to do so. Nothing much to it. You get powers, you kill what was already dead and deform creatures and so on like th eother GoW games. They are soon to come out with GoW 3 but I believe it's only for the PS3.
