I bought the Urbz this weekend and now I know why the Sims has been so popular. This game is like some form of digital crack. I have trouble putting it down and actually killed my DSs battery the first couple of days.

It uses the touch screen for all the options and some of the mini games. So it's really easy to manage your sim and talk to other peeps to build your rep.

Anyways, this game is lots of fun for being so simple. I've been contemplating getting it for my PC now, but then I'll probably never get any work done, so that would probably be a bad idea.

Heh, i will have to buy it now. I was going to pick it up last night, but instead bought Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade for PSP... pretty good, but thats just on a small test, i havent had much time to play it yet.

You're just in a PSP frenzy. :) But once you get the chance, Urbz is worth it.

I'm getting a Treo650 (2 of them next week, one for me, one for the laty.) so a PSP is now completely out of the question for me. Plus it will fill my want for a portable video player that doesn't use memory sticks.

My friend digs Untold Monkeys, the game is a good time killer. He has a DS also and likes Retro Arcade. I was thinking about getting that, but will get those games for the Treo instead.

Where the freak is Golden Eye. I want!!! :D

Life force, anyone? :D
Yeah, i am in a mini PSP blitz... I have only bought two games for it since last thursdays release, so i dont think that i am doing too badly. I tested it on a road trip to New York today (hey, wanna buy a tshirt cheap?) and i must say that
A. I didnt want people to see me in public with it- i had a fear of it being stolen, and thats not cool... I didnt like the feeling at all... I felt much more comfortable with my DS or Zodiac in the past...
B. The battery did hold up nicely, but i had no sound on the entire time. I played for around 3 hours.
C. The entire time i walked around the car show, i feared for the smallest bump against ANYTHING because the unit just feels so fragile. I have owned much more expensive Clie's and i didnt even worry this much for those... Its not really a good device at all for anyone who doesnt want to worry all the time...

If you watch that video of the peeps destroing the PSP, it takes quite a pounding before breaking. It's just because it's so dang purdy and the screen covers such a large area that you're probably paranoid. :)

I think once you get a hardcover case you'll feel more comfortable, or at least some type of screen cover. The DS has a sturdy plastic case and my Clié is a clamshell, but I have yet to drop either.

I'm getting this for the Treos as protection;

And yes finally no memory sticks.:D Freak I almost talked myself into buying a Sony Ericsson S710a, but one of the things I notice, is that is used non MS-Pro sticks. That's the last thing I want for a "time buying video" player. I can get a 1Gig SD for $73. Anyways, with Kinoma I can play MP4 with AAC and the phone records H.263 natively with it's camera. So I'll be buying more DVDs of my favorite cartoons to rip. :)


Where is Gloden Eye!!! And more importantly, where the freaking freak is Metroid?!! :eek:

Value of the Nintendo DS vs. The Sony PSP
 

All game titles being equal and playing units being equal, can someone identify the $ per hour that you spend on each of the two game units? Which has the better value?

This whole thing is too subjective. :) If you like PS2 type games, or the games that are exclusive to that sytem like GT then a DS will never be worth your time. But if you like GBA games, or any type of games you can pick up and put down, games that are exclusive to Nintendo, then the PSP is not worth it.

Neither system can be broken down by cost if they don't meet your needs. I've seen article that were biased towards one or the other system and in doing so, they alwasy failed to point out important features of the other system and would "always" sell it short with their "narrowed" views.

My choice is the DS of course for a better value, but if you ask Homie S, his would be the PSP.

It all comes down to what you like, which brings up this question; What are your favorite (type of) games?

I have more questions and will point out why I think a DS is a better value, but as mentioned already it's all toooo subjective.

Metroid has been delayed back to August in order for it to have.. ONLINE PLAY! Let's cheer now!

Ok, that's worth it. :) And Golden Eye should be out by this summer.

I sure hope we see a price drop soon.

50 bucks less, and I MIGHT consider one at this point.

Not even for Tiger Woods DS? :D I played it the other day. It uses the stylus to adjust your power, then swing the stroke.

If not for that game, than Advanced Wars DS!!! :eek:

I like low-impact game titles like _Sims_ and _Urbz_.
I saw the Nintendo DS at Costco which has got my wheels spinning.

I've been playing the Urbz for the past week. I bought it on a whim and it was one of the best choices I had made. The game is soo freaking addictive. :)

I bought the DS to play games like Zelda and RPGs. I like games that keep me occupied, but I can easily save and then pick up later on. The touch screen has been great. It combined with the joypad and buttons has been everything my PDAs were missing. Where the DS is lacking in screen, it more then makes up for it with the second screen and touch response. Puzzles, RTS, FPS and RGPs in general can be executed better on a DS.

I will GLADLY wait for online play.

Wooooooo, it's pokemon Blue: :)
