No regrets

I'm supposed to die today for not being able to link my web service(i don't even know if it is webservice after Friend A n Friend V talked about it on the MRT). So...for now need to throw away the screw driver for I'm feeling very *screwed up* right now..

Nonetheless. that's not the main point of today's entry. I happen to saw Friend R's blog and I wanna be as cool as him to write reviews on the Nintendo DS Lite as well and hope that it can help those who are deciding whether NDS or PSP. Sad to say my heart lies in NDS now and since you are unluckily to find this page, Tree's gonna tell you all the bad bad stuffs about PSP and the juice you can squeeze out of the NDS.


Nintendo Dual Screen Lite (NDS Lite) Vs Playstation Portable(PSP)

Just like in Friend R's blog, several actually ponder why I've went berserk over this piece of handheld technology over the PSP. Rather than writing millions of words, I've used a matrix to compare and comment on these.

*P.S. Don't say I didn't warnyou, I mentioned previously I'm against PSP right at the moment!!!!

Comments

  • Better games than PSP
  • Longer survival rate
  • Stylus is fun
  • LAN is even more fun!
  • 2 screens means putting if further from your face and teaches you to focus and concentrate
  • There will be screen protector, so unless you use a pen knife as a stylus pen or press so hard that until the screen dent or worst cracks, otherwise just scribble
  • PSP got microphone?
  • PSP can draw on the screen?
  • Just by the battery life and you’ll suffer on travels especially on long travels.
  • Should users are going for downloaded games, they have to watch for version compatibility and the space they have. Image cramming games, mp3 and videos into a 1GB memory stick!!!
  • Everyone has MP3 player, my handphone is already one so why do I need to listen from PSP?
  • Colors are gonna be covered by case protector, so what’s with the gold color?
  • Versioning always cause gaming problems for some games cannot be played on certain versions

Feasibility?

ALL THE WAY!!

If you want a bak ga liao type of technology then take this lor, for now for me it's worth dirt




Music of the day
