ds!
on ps3 you get to play ps1 and ps2 and ps3 games!!!!!!!
wii is awsome!
I wish I had a wii! But I do have a DS lite
[this is in response to gogojobo’s comment] yes the wii can go on the internet…im using it to type this… but it is NOT free. you have to buy it with your wii points card for 500 pts. the internet works good but can be a little clumsy…
I like what WII (and DS) Master posted ! I could read it all day !
for portables, the ds is the best(I don’t have one but i’m getting one). Sure, the psp has better graphics but nearly all the games(except daxter and the sport games) are for adults! In non-portables, the Wii wins. Period.
Personally, I would say that the PSP is the best device in portable gaming.
PSP is a multi-function game player playing games, movies music,and surf the web. It has a nice 4.3″ display that can produce up to 480i quality graphics that beat Sony’s competitors, using a fast 333mhz processor. With a battery charge that lasts up to 6 hours for extended game play and movie watching. Another advantage is that the system has Opera, as the built in web browser by connecting through at wireless 802.11b. Along with movies and games off of the UMD disk the user has a built in Memory stick duo slot for extra storage for music, movies, and other media. The PSP is not just a game player, but a true portable media device.
PS3 and Xbox360 stink! I would rather play Wii any day. DS Lite is fun too! I dont know about PSP.
The DS Lite and the Wii are the best!
