psp vs gba

(1/4) > >>

logos:
So I've really been wanting to get a portable game system recently, either a psp or game boy advance SP, atm the only reason to get a gba is I used to have one and theres some games on it that I really love, it's cheaper...and thats about it

As for psp...i dunno, I dont follow games for non xbox 360, so I dont really know whats out there for either system...
If I went with gba I'd be getting FF advance tactics and a pokemon game (nostalgia ftw) I know ff tactics is on psp as well, but I prefer the gba version.
I'll only be using either system for games, so the extra features on a psp are of no concern to me...I also have no interest in the DS

umm...I pretty much only play rpgs, I dont like fire emblem and games like that very much *cough* zelda *cough* so the majority of gba rpgs I dont really wanna play, but I have even less knowledge on psp games, Imma go to gamestop and check out the selection, but I figured I'd ask around here to see what you guys prefer. and if you think I should go with one or the other. (also I know I can just emulate the systems, but the whole point is I want them for when I've got somethin going on with my computer or am not at home)

fohfoh:
Maybe I'm mistaken, But I thought the PSP had the ability to emulate GBA. OFC it requires homebrew etc... so... You'd be buying an older version anyways. So... cheaper? GBA requires you actually chase down the cartridges. (and the cartridge "blow job" :P)

^ It most certainly does. Plus you won't have to buy the carts that way. Mine has a SNES, NES, MegaDrive, GB and GBA emulator on it.

The psp has a fair few RPGs btw, I made a list half a page long of ones to download the other day. Plus with the extra back compatibility if you hack, and the ability to play PSone games as well,so for me its a winner. :)

Not to mention the "generic" media abilities it has with music, videos etc. Browser is a piece of shit... but oh well.

I don't think I've touched my PSP1000 since something like the ?.5 or ?.6 days. Pretty much 6 months or a year before they had the battery hack. My bro bricked his, perma borrowed mine, and then I just gave up. PSP is a great solo handheld though. If you want to socialize, it's called a DS.

I seriously love the PSP. Really should grab a battery hack or two somewhere to use as "back up" for the so called bricked one. A cheap MSPD easily will make it a great afterthought. Patapon is pretty cool. Silly but cool.

Damn, I recall the days when my bro was like, "Hey, there's this cool game for the PSP called patapon (1)." At the time I thought it was retarded. Now, I think it's sort of nifty. :P There's like 3 patapons now?
