When they are only reselling the thing for between 150 and 170, what could possibly motivate them to offer you that much for yours?Quote:

I do hate EB though, just for the record.
Wow, I can see nobody took in MY wise words.
My work here is done!
Wow the irony of this thread is bustin out the seams it seems. Personally I see nothing wrong with a NDS but I would never trade my magnificent little black box. On a seperate note, EB/GS wont be gettin my money anytime soon :P:eek:
ummm, can we say H-O-M-E-B-R-E-WQuote:

wtf the ds is half a year older than the psp...
the ds lights almost exactly the same.
whats up with this big fascination with the ds just now, I have one but I cant find any good games for it at all apart from advanced wars 3 which only lasts so long.
Trade PSP for DS Lite? No way! The PSP is far better and I'll stick with that.

I feel stupid.:confused:
Dogs are fun if your a girl... but if you a boy its the amazing controls for fps and strategys.
And dont forget the online multiplayer of Mk and HUNTERS.
OH, and Im also going to be enjoying a shit loads of original exclusives from square-inx and maybe from microsoft also.
Dont forget Zelda and the inevitable sequel to Hunters AND MARIO.
of course, we are all psp fans here... but dont go all out to flame ds owners and the DS itself. it still has some terrific games.
This topic is starting to get lame. It should be locked.
PSP has some good games while the DS has a lot of good games.
the only thing i don't get is why they just don't block isos
idk... its almost like they think it would be the deciding point for those who are trying to chose between the ds and the psp, and want to play backups. But it doesnt seem to be hurting them any since they still sell more games then the psp.Quote:

Think of it like this:
You buy a PSP entertainment pack for 250 USD.
It collects dust for awhile. You drop in and see the EB Advert: trade in your 250 USD investment for a DS Lite (which retails for 129 USD). So you're out about 121 USD.
EB games resells the same entertainment pack as 'Used' for 200 USD.... They made just made a 321 USD profit at the purchaser's expense, and thats not including any games traded in or purchased...
This kind of greed cannot continue and if I were Sony, I'd sue EBGames. The PSP is not "the past". When a next-gen handheld comes out, then ok I can see that. But the DS's popularity hardly deems the PSP 'past hardware'. The PSP is years ahead of the DS in terms of potential power. MGS:PO proves that, being almost as beautiful graphically as MGS3.
Yes the DS has great games and its price point makes it very attractive, but its hardly new enough to consider the PSP 'in the past'.
I pity the fools who take EB up on this offer...
good one dude, lmao
if i wanted to play a slightly better GBA, i'd play my ngage alittle more
how much money is made on third party software anyways?....I mean, knowing that PSP's can be hacked, should create the buzz, and sony might make the money on hardware, rather than SW.
But who knows.... I still love PSP better than beefed up GBA.
sigh.....EB is just trying to scam people to trade in their psp's for the DS. It's too obvious. C'mon, who's going to sell their psp, which cost $250, for $100 in store credit?
look they get more money if someone trade in a PSP for a DS lite... cause they can sell the psp off for a higher price...
It's about about the money... and since kids get PSP for present and want a DS anyway... it makes it a good deal...
PSP=DS
DS=PSP
Someone... Just lock this stupid thread
What's your deal man? You can't debate a topic of interest without trying to a damn a thread into closure on no reasonable grounds?Quote:

you basically said the DS has better games but the PSP is better?Quote:

I have both and the DS games are better and more innovative. The PSP games are harder to get into because i have a PS2 and we all know that alot of the psp games are ports.
In terms of power potential, the PSP is better than the DS. But the DS is more popular. By sheer economics the DS's popularity would ultimately equate to more games sales, regardless if said games are exemplary titles.Quote:

All in all, the fact that PSP is still around shows to me that its a pretty solid system. I mean look at the other handhelds that came out around the same time as the PSP and DS or after and look at how many are still around.
I am not saying the DS is bad, if it had more games that appealed to me, I might have a reason to get it. But its homebrew scene looks tempting enough to get one. Recently Quake was released for it and that would be really cool if it was compatible online with the PSP and PC versions of Quake, like the PSP version of Quake is. Then again, I know very little of DS homebrew.
Blah Blah Blah.... psp = 2(DS+GBA).
?????HUH?????
psp = n64/ps1/nes/snes/gba/gb and all the rest
ds = kiddie toy. nothing special. obviously sells more because there are a lot of little kids in the world..
PSP > DS
Well that resumes it pretty well.
