In my case I stand by my first choice: NDS at launch, now reassured by the games and media shown- even taken to new levels of excitement unheard of for me for a handheld system.

PSP: probably will get it down the line when it sees one pricedrop or two.

 

[Soul4ger]

I'll get them both, it's just a matter of when. DS is a definite launch purchase for me, especially with the impending release of FFIII, WarioWare, Viewtiful Joe, Castlevania, Goemon, the Square Enix games NOT named FFIII, etc., etc.

PSP isn't a must-buy, but I'm sure I'll buy it at some point - if just for Makai Wars and the Falcom games.

 

[Memles]

NDS next Spring.

PSP...if a rich Uncle wants to give it to me as a gift, he can go right ahead. Otherwise, no thanks.

 

[sonycowboy]

There are stickied topics above. Not like your is a completely original post.

PSP for me.

 

[Kon Tiki]

I am getting both. I am more excited for the NDS. The closer release date plays a huge factor in that.

 

[johnjohnson]

I'll definitively get the PSP. Whether I'll be getting it at launch or not depends mostly on the price the device will have.

I am also considering the option of buying a DS, but not for the "revolutionary" second screen, but mainly for its size (the gameboy sp is too small for my hands) and the conversions of some n64 games I didn't play because I never had a n64.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I'm getting both at launch.

I'm getting a DS, Mario 64 DS, Feel the Magic XX/XY, Mr Driller: Drill Spirits, and possibly one more title. And I have no idea what launch titles will be out for the PSP. I'm hoping Metal Gear Ac!d, Ridge Racer PSP, and Lumines.

 

[Pimpbaa]

I'm probably gonna trade in my gba (old model) and gamecube for a NDS. As for the PSP, I would love to get it but it's probably going to be far more than I would want to pay for a handheld.

 

[gofreak]

I'm tempted by NDS, mostly because of the IP (mario 64) and attached nostalgia factor, but to be honest, i haven't yet seen the great uses of the device from NCL that i thought i might. I'm not in a mad rush to buy it.

As for PSP, haven't really seen anything that I really want for it.

 

[SpoonyBard]

I'll most likely get a DS this year, I have no interest in PSP.

 

[GDGF]

Gonna grab an NDS at launch. That is all.

 

[Miburou]

I'll get a PSP if/when it's at $199. I'm not really interested in the DS, so I doubt I'll ever get one. For the time being I'm content with my GBA SP.

 

[Teddman]

Neither. Wait for a price drop or a killer app, I really don't see anything worth buying either system for yet.

There's plenty to keep me busy on consoles this Fall.

 

[Elios83]

DS isn't a product that can interest me.

I will buy PSP when the bundle with ''PSP+FF7:Advent Children UMD+FF7 remake'' is out

 

[BuddyC]

I'm gonna echo the "DS nowish PSP later" sentiment.

I'm really excited to see how Drill Spirits turns out.

 

[Catalyst]

Getting both eventually, however, DS is more appealing. I can write secret messages to the secretaries here in the office.

 

[gofreak]

DS isn't a product that can interest me.

You know its future lineup spanning its entire life? o_0

 

[snapty00]

I'm most likely getting a PSP, but I'm unsure about DS. On the one hand, games like Advance Wars DS look cool, but there's too much old, ported shit going to DS, and I also get the feeling that developers are going to pointlessly stick the touchscreen controls in their games. :\

 

[Doom_Bringer]

PSP at launch with Ridge Racer!

can't wait to listen to some mp3 with that sexy thing

 

[Chittagong]

I've got already two DSs (US) on preorder (I want to see how the wireless stuff works in practice), along with

Super Mario 64 DS - 2 pc - US
Asphalt Urban GT - 2 pc - US
Feel the Magic - 1 pc - US
Spiderman 2 - 1 pc - US
Mr. Driller - 1 pc - US

Tendo Dokuta - 1 pc - JP
Touch Wario Ware - 1 pc - JP
Band Brothers - 1 pc - JP
Pokemon Dash - 1pc - JP
Hitofude - 1 pc - JP
Zoo Keeper - 1 pc - JP

I haven't been this excited over a games platform launch since N64. PS2, GCN, Xbox and GBA made me go "meh", nothing new. But this time, having tried it in E3, I know this thing is excellent. Let's hope the brilliant air / puck / whatever game makes it, it was great.

At this point, I'm not at all interested in PSP. I'll probably end up getting it at launch just for the sake of it, but the concept just doesn't intrigue me, again, having touched it in E3.

 

[Elios83]

It's a combination of factors.I'm much more interested in a complete multimedia portable center as the PSP could be than a simple gaming console as the DS is.I've not so much time to spend on portable games so I prefer to use my money for something I can use more frequently.
Plus high tech things attract me P

 

[shuri]

None, i'll wait for quality games. I was burned by the GBA.

 

[seismologist]

I already have DS preordered.
I really feel that the DS has the ability to make any game seem fresh again.
All of the games I've seen so far I want to try.


PSP doesn't excite me since I can play the same games on PS2.

 

[jiggle]

PSP at launch, maybe a DS when FFIIIj comes out.

 

[explodet]

I've already got my sights on a DS, but I need to figure out how to get one from the States. Up here, the DS will be $199.99 Canadian. After taxes, that's $230. And with the current dollar conversion, it means I'll have to pay US $182 for a DS.

No thank you.

So I need to find a way to smuggle one over the border and not be raped by customs.

 

[kaching]

Both, probably. Just need to see how final details work out for both in terms of their respective launches.

 

[lochnesssnowman]

I'm importing a DS next month (I'm in Scotland) without a doubt. If Mario 64 was the only game ever released for it, I'd still be in there. I love that game so much and to have it on the move, with extra stuff, is just class. However, it isn't and with Castlevania, Winning Eleven, Final Fantasy, a new Seiken Densetsu, Mr Driller, Advance Wars and a whole lot of other stuff on the way, DS is a sealed deal.

Since the PSP launch is a little further away, I am less enthusiastic because less information is known. I'd be a little reluctant to pay in the 300 range for a handheld but if they launch with some good games then I'll take a look. I have a feeling that PSP might be the brunt of more ports and unoriginal titles that the DS though, but to have a portable MGS and GTA is no bad thing.

 

[LinesInTheSand]

nds, psp when it drops to $99

 

[Defensor]

Importing a PSP this year. DS later on.

 

[norinrad21]

Importing NDS

Nothing else matters

[Lionheart]

I won't buy any of them at launch as both haven't convinced me yet. So I'll wait and see. Maybe I'll wait for the first price drops.

 

[jarrod]

I'm buying both at launch with a few games probably... and a big fat warranty for that PSP.

 

[Koshiro]

DS. I'll only ever get a PSP if it provides me with experiences I can't get on a console.

 

[duderon]

DS.

The only way i'd get a psp is if it had a kiiiilllllller app. The high price, battery mystery, and delicate screen push me away.

 

[teepo]

MGA

 

[drohne]

psp eventually. perhaps at launch if there's no regional lockout on games.

 

[Forgotten Ancient]

I'll definitely be picking up a DS at launch.

PSP - It depends on a few things. If there'll be a GOOD Final Fantasy game on there (nothing like DoC or some BS) and a 2-D Castlevania, I'll have to pick it up. Of course, those 2 things will be found on the DS so who knows...I don't know enough about the PSP to say at this point, and I don't think I've ever been as excited for a system as I am for the DS.

 

[Renegade]

The PSP has a much, much, much better game lineup for me. Even if they're console ports, at least they're not Last Gen console ports.

 

[Kon Tiki]

The PSP has a much, much, much better game lineup for me. Even if they're console ports, at least they're not Last Gen console ports.

So you like PS2 now? By the time PSP comes out, they will be (pretty close to) last gen.

 

[krypt0nian]

DS at launch no question {Pre-ordered and paid for}

PSP once its below $200

 

[jarrod]

Actually, a good number of them are. :/

 

[Smiles and Cries]

DS at launch for me

thats about all I plan to play until Zelda GC in 2005

 

[Prince of Space]

Same as everyone else apparently -- DS at launch, PSP after a price drop or two.

 

[SolidSnakex]

PSP at launch. DS whenever SMT or the GameArts RPG comes out.

 

[Renegade]

So you like PS2 now? By the time PSP comes out, they will be (pretty close to) last gen.

Then the DS' games would be closer to 2 gens prior, then?

There's still a fair amount of time before the PSP is released, and I'm anticipating a lot more game to be announced for it that tickle my fancy. There are already a LOT of killer games announced and shown for the DS, that I want much more than the current crop of DS offerings, but there's at least 5 more months to go until PSP release, meaning that the number of games shown for PSP could jump a lot in the coming months.

 

[olimario]

There isn't a single announced PSP title that I think I would enjoy.
I'm going with the DS, Mario, Wario Ware, Advance Wars, 4S.

 

[segasonic]

PSP, baby!!!! :rock

 

[Kon Tiki]

Then the DS' games would be closer to 2 gens prior, then?

Well if you count Hunters.. one

 

[pdk27]

Already preorderd DS. Will get a PSP when Gran Turismo Mobile is released.
