By waiting, it's only going to make it more expensive. If I would have bought my PS2 when it first came out, I would have got it for $299. I waited a few months before to get it and it was sold out everywhere then, and had to get it for $350

peh, you're just talking from a narrowminded world built around 1 screen for gaming [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]Originally posted by: _naruto_X
the second screen is kinda pointless, dont you think?
i mean on the mario kart game, the second screen is used for the map....
you wouldnt know the implications of what a second screen would add to gaming experience because its never been done before. The games they had on display were very basic examples of what there is to offer, they are by no means the final versions of what will appear in the future.
its thought processes like that which make so many games these days boring knock off imitations of other games

I dunno where you live but in most places prices go down the older a product goes. It sounds very strange that stores near you raised the price, but even then, had you waited a bit longer you'd have got it cheaper.
and what do you think this means?Originally posted by: oceen246
they don't talk about the GC not being the last console for nintendo, all they say is they got a successor for the GBA. But I still don't see your point, unless you were just making a statement.Originally posted by: Elite Hentai
The Gamecube isn't nintendo's last console, and the DS isn't the successor of the GBA. It will be a new franchise.
This link proves my statements are correct. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/01...s_6086771.html
"The development of succeeding machines for the GBA and Game Cube are in the works, separately from the Nintendo DS."
i agree. sure nintendo has less games, but they are definitly better quality overall.Originally posted by: AssertnFailure
man, console arguments can last forever.......
i dont give a shit who the target audience for nintendo is, i play a game for its fun factor, not for the amount of red pixels and jiggling polygons it has.
I also dont care which console has more games than the other. More = bad, because more = spending more money
If i had one good mario game, then i'd be happier than having 10 playstation games
and frankly, nearly every game released by nintendo is a hit in my book.
I'm from NY, and pretty much everywhere else was the same. even when you would go online, you would find it for $400.00. Now you're talking about waiting for years, when other products are being developed, because it took years for the PS2 and the Xbox to go down to $149.00, and this is only because they both have replacement coming out soon.Originally posted by: Swallow Your Soul

I didn't see that part, so I guess nintendo is still in the game. But in the meantime Sony and Microsoft are still centuries ahead of nintendo when it comes to consoles.Originally posted by: Elite Hentai

^ Oh right, thats weird, I waited several months (mainly cos I didn't really see any games that looked interesting at the release) and got it quite a bit cheaper...it almost always works that way here (UK)...Personally I've never seen a console become more expensive at any later point than it was at its launch, maybe thats just where I live *shrugs*
first of all, if you can watch hours of tv or go out and watch like a 2 hour movie and be fine then watching a movie on a psp anywhere you want will not be uncomfortable. second, why would i want to play a game that includes 2 screens. thats not going to make a difference to me, it just seems like more work having to look up and down at different things. look for game quality (story, gameplay, other special crap), not graphics...newbs. just cuz something looks nice doesnt mean its a good game.
LOTS OF INFO BELOW, ADDRESS "I HEARD FROM A FRIEND ISSUES..."
1. sony execs quoted as psp more "Powerfull" than ps2 (smaller screen less resolution = more polly's and textures) sony has been quoted that gran turismo 4 will appear on PSP and to expect its quality to be IN NO WAY inferior to the PS2 version
2. psp will have wireless lan, for multiplayer over internet
3. gran theft auto is coming out for GBA
4. dual screen concept is NOT new. Nintendo has previously tried it before with moderate to low success.
5. price and battery life has not been announced, however remember sony's new HD mp3 player has a tremendous life. expect launch price to be less than ps2' launch price, around 250. actual game prices will vary, from 40 bucks for "full sized games scaled down (GT4mobile) to a lot less for mobile built games with portability in mind (stickyballs)
6. konami is coming up with one of the most innovative game designs in a while for its psp exclussive metal gear game.
7. game developers actually have to send the games to sony for sony to quality check and they have been quoted that they will not allow direc ps2 ports for the most part, they have been quoted on a percentage of games released taht will be unique and innovative.
8. for PSP games may very well be region free, so you can play import games!
9. the LCD screen on the PSP looks absolutely stunning and in 16:9
10. there is a rumor that there will be a LCD shortage. with cell phones, and pda becoming more and more widespread, and now PSP is expected to tap into a whole new target audience and sell well to that audience, and the DS to use TWO lcd's, LCD manufacturers may become a lil stretched until they can open up some new plants.
all in all, both systems seem to have their niche audiences people who buy a psp at launch will probably allready own such items as IPOD (its a "hip" albeit pricey gadget) and people who buy hte DS will probalby allready own a GBA.
on a side note, i couldnt see playing with 2 screens, especially with them being so small, i have a dual monitor setup and thats hard enough keeping track of things. take ur eyes off of one screen and u might miss somehitng, and on the PSP side... I am a huge fan of gran turismo, and the only way ill be buying it is if i can transfer the data from my gt4 mobile to my gt4 home game.
nice info glitched, thanks. i actually didnt expect such cool features with psp. wireless lan, WOW! gaming experiences are always better when you're playing with others. i also agree with other members that you should wait a while before you get the psp so the price will lower. well, thats what i think and always look for nice sales and special prices at your local stores.
Here is an update on the PSP!
http://www.psp411.com/show/news/13
apparently there is a march date for the release and speculations set the price around $200 (not bad!)
There are also screenshots (fucking awesome graphics for a handheld), wireless lan, and MP3/WMA! I think I might just pick it up!
Here is also a list of 10 facts on PSP!

There also a Naruto game for the psp as well.Originally posted by: ShinobiNeko
I remember someone telling me there's supposed to be a Naruto game being made for the DS, so just for that my interest more towards DS than PSP at the moment
For those who complained about psp battery-shortage. I think they're making a rechargable battery pack for it, i read it in a magazine about it but just don't remember is it psp or something else.
arnt they makin basically makin a rechargable(sp?) battery for every handheld from DS on? soon it'll be comparable to AC adapters to handhelds. and since every system's gonna be pretty much the same (except maybe the buttons), i'm jus gonna play wutever interesting games there are, like wut assertn sed.
not bad until you consider that full blown consoles tend to cost the same amountOriginally posted by: Himura_san

200 dollar is nothing nowadays thanks to the dollar bieng so week.
PSP is a most but in mars two of my favorit games is coming then,MGS3 and DMC3.
the psp has a weak line up for their realese in america (except metal gear acid) but in japan their getting games like naruto, one piece, and bleach not to mention Ys and tales of eternia and if it turns out that the psp is reigon free, i see a lot of potential. also squarenix has signed on to do a game but has yet to release any info on what it its and oooooooohhhhhhhhh *drools* a 16:9 aspect ratio thats how every thing should be veiwed. not to mention the fact that you can download movies on tho memory sticks and watch them on the psp sounds pretty cool to me.
i love nintendo but the psp jus has more potential plus the fact they went with umds and not cartridges is going to make it a lot cheaper to make games for. and one final thing FREAKIN FFVII ADVENT CHILDREN IS COMMING OUT ON UMD.
oh any questions on where i got my info check liksang.com
