ah, glad you fucking asked..............yes i owned one. i had the good fortune, if you can call it that, to have extra cash to blow, so i decide, "why not check out the Nintendo DS?" so i did. at first, big mistake. i picked one up about 6 months ago and had that fucker for a week, playing with the stylus and writing shit and playing that damn Metroid demo. after that, the Sony PSP came out, i did some heavy thinking and decided that i'd like to fuck around with a PSP a lot more at that moment. so i repackaged that DS shit and took it back to Wal-Mart (who will take ANYTHING back). i get a gift card from them (since the item was opened) and i keep it to use for gas at their lame ass gas station outside.
i then take my ass over to Target who has a small handful of PSP's left in stock (this was a few days after release). i pick it up, along with a 256MB memory stick, and the Darkstalkers game. i fell in love with that shit from the moment i laid eyes on it--not merely for looks, but because i knew just what the fuck i could do to that thing. within the first week, i had a new 512MB memory stick, Wipeout Pure, DVD movies that i'd transferred over onto PSP, MP3's, DVD music videos that i ripped onto it, and pictures of my girlfriend and me. the bitch seemed to do it all, then a few months later, i decide to jump into the emulator shit, since it's been kicking for a bit and BAM........a 1GB memory stick, NeoCD, SNES, Genesis, NES, and some homebrew later, i'm fucking LOVING this little bitch even more. in that time, i felt like the DS was complete crap since there weren't any games that caught my interest yet and although it was a nice piece of work and i DID in fact like the hell out of it, it was NO PSP. now, a UMD dumper later, i still think the PSP is better due to the games that have been released so far (some are great--although i do hate a few also) and for it's seemingly ENDLESS possibilities. there's so much shit i HAVEN'T done with it that i plan on trying.
so, about 3 weeks ago, i'm doing a videogame run to see what old shit i might be able to scrounge up for the old school systems and what do i see? FINALLY......a game i'll play the shit out of for the Nintendo DS..........NANOSTRAY! so i pick the shit up along with a brand new DS system (with that same fucking demo). in that 3 week period, i have played the hell out of Nanostray in my free time (when i'm not pimping the PSP) and i did some research into the emulator shit for the DS. not bad, but still not on par with the PSP. i decide to pick up a GBA movie player card that works with the DS or GBA. i order it online and about a week ago, it shows up. i pick up a 256MB Compact Flash card from Wal-Mart (hell, if i don't like it, i'll take it back--haha) and i do some Googling. i find what i need and now i have my portable NES player (which seems to play the NES games better than the PSP--that's the ONLY upside so far, in my opinion). i try out the video quality by converting a Carlos Mencia DVD........it's OK, but in all honesty, the quality was CRAP, even on the highest setting. the jpg images don't look as nice on the DS screen--they look a hell of a lot better on the PSP (sorry, it's the truth). all in all, it's a good system and i love having it again, BUT it's no PSP. now all i need is that PSP-to-TV shit they keep talking about and i'm all set. i can already do the DS emu shit over the GB Player for the Gamecube.
Sony PSP > Nintendo DS
