PSP or Nintendo DS

My lil bro's birthday is in 2 weeks. He will be 8 (although he acts more like an 18 yr old lol). He's asked for either a nintendo ds or a PSP. I can't make up my mind as to which one would be the best to get. So which one would you recommend?

the screen quality on the psp is amazing, its like a mini plasma screen. also youve got interent and if you have a ps3 then you can use it for remote play

This is the thing that's making me go slightly more towards the psp. All the DS's i've seen (in shop displays) have had broken screens! I heared you can play movies and stuff on the psp's aswell. How does that work? Can you download them straight from ur computer and transfer them to the psp?

Yea pretty much hen.

You have to change the format of the video first using PSP9. Free software.

Also make sure you get him a decent sized mem stick for the videos.

What games would you recommend for an 8yr old?

Also what colour should i get it in? (i know it doesn't really matter but it probably will to him lol)

[Chico999]

Lol emm not really sure! i think there is kids games out, like......sonic collection and alike.

Honestly don't know hen. White looks good!
Get him the slim one too he'll like that!

i got a psp when they first came out but i got bored very quickly an sold it on but if you know he'll have plenty time to play it an will watch films etc on it then thats ok.

i've got a ds just now graphics are not as pleasing but the games have been more fun but am abit bored of it now too lol

I love my psp, playing it a lot recently. I have got a 8gb memory stick too, so i have lots of space for music and movies.

Can't wait till they bring out the 32gb memory stick. :y:
