I said good bye to my PSP 1.50 Release today

If it's a choice of only one system of the two, you made the right choice (although I would say for the wrong reasons since Kirby, Ouendan, Band Brothers, Meteos, and Advance Wars are the killer apps).

[Cross]

LOL We each love our own but I will def try those.

I did love the Emulation on my PSP, just look at the work in my review thread but I want to use the system for what it was made for, UMD Games. Untold Legends was PERFECT but not to involving. I wanted more like it and I would never have been willing to wait for a new release but Lunar did it for me. I thought Castlevania was cool but there are a few things I collect:

Metroid
Mega Man (All except for the GBA Battle Net Series)
Zelda (Who doesn't here)
Lunar
Final Fantasy
Chrono Trigger and Cross
Metal Gear Solid

I would have loved to see Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero on my PSP that still is my favorite racing game, I really enjoy it but I wanted more then racing. A FF on the PSP would def be a huge Thumbs Up. So would a good Metal Gear not a Card Game based one, not being able to choke ppl just took all the fun out of it :P . With Mega Man Legends being re-released on the PSP I am Def coming back. (Hoping that it will push the next game of the series to come out on it.)

I also agree with you Cross. Most of the PSP Fan Boy Bitches that never shut up about how good the PSP is, don't know the roots of video gaming. I support you 100% of the way in your adaption to the DS, and I also offer some advice. Mario 64 is also a great game. It offers hours of gameplay and has a very fun feeling to it. It also is extremly unique and I suggest buying it. You'll be very impressed with Castlevania. Note that there are multiple endings in Castlevania, and a mode where you can play as the Vampire Hunter Julius, just like good ol' classic Castlevania. You'll probably be dissapointed with Lunar as I heard it wasn't very good. You'll probably like it since you're a fan of the others though. The SNES emulator on the DS is great, my friend has it. It's faster than the PSP emulators and can obvioulsy hold alot more games at a cheaper expense. I suggest you look into Mario Kart DS as it will offer some awesome multiplayer modes which may or may not interest you. I personally loved Mario Kart 64, and even old Mario Kart! Metroid Prime Pinball scored an impressive rating for a pinball game, if you like Metroid, which I'm certain you do. Definatley get Hunters as well. If you like RPGs, you'll be happy to know that screenshots for the remade FFIII have been released for the DS and they look impressive. If you want, I'll send you a link. Have fun with your DS, but don't abandon the PSP intirely as a few interesting titles will be realeased later. I also find no interest in it's current games. I'm waiting fror Devil May Cry, and the new Megaman games. I honestly believe that Sony can't produce any good titles, they just lack the knowledge, which is why we have to wait for the 3rd party devs. Have fun!!

You know that there is a versian changer that tricks your psp in to thinking its version 2.x yet you still stay at 1.5 so you can run homebrew and play new games just so you know... and if you didn't don't worry you can still use the downgrader

Yep, I have been using these for a few months now. None of them work with GTA though at the moment.

The SNES emulator on the DS is great, my friend has it. It's faster than the PSP emulators......

Not true - I have done a direct comparison. I love my DS though so don't accuse me of being a Sony Fanboy because I'm not.

Well with the reviews I have done on each Emu I will post a review on the SNES one and then compare it to the current PSP Emu I was running tyl ^-^

Well good luck to you with your DS, but I'd think you would have saved money(probably alot of money too...) by just buying one, sticking with it and then buying the other, rather than doing the whole trading game trying to get back to where you started...

I don't trade in games simply because I know I may come back to them later on. And if I have to buy it twice, even after trading it in, its just a $#@! load of lost money. But to each their own. I just hope you pick up to 2.00 PSP so you can at least play homebrew again or downgrade rather than being stuck with 2.50 or whatever firmware they have when you decide to pick it up again.(if you decide to pick it up again).

Are you 100% sure? My buddy has both handhelds, emulators for both, and says the newest SNES one on the DS is alightly faster, at least for Super Metroid.

[Cross]

Actually since I paid 50.00 for my PSP nope I did not lose money ^-^ All the joy of being a gamestop employee and knowing when to bring in games for the 3 gets you and extra 10.00. I took my Palm Zire 71 and traded it in at a local place called bookmans. I got every cheap PS2/Cube/Xbox game I could that was non-sports and got the trade credit for them plus and extra 10 for every three, it worked out great I only paid 50.00 cash for when I reserved my PSP ^-^

There are some games that run slightly (but not much) faster on the DS but overall the PSP SnesTYL emulator is the better of the two. When I say better, I am also taking into account you can run it using the PSPs full screen which obviously blows the DS screen out of the water both in terms of quality and size.

However, I do confess that, at this time, the DS has a better games catalogue overall. Mainly due to Nintendo's experience and skill in producing quality games. I predict the reverse to be the case within a year.

Everyone has their own opinion on what they think is good or bad.

The OP decided to sell his - so what??

At least he has been honest.
