Hello!
If you are wondering what to buy, between the PSP and the DS, or the Wii and the PS3, here are some pointers that will help solve your doubt!
Firstly, let me put the PSP vs DS problem aside first. If you want me to say DS lite vs the PSP, then comment it. I am going to put aside the PSP vs DSi for right now.
DSi: The DSi has very interesting features. First, it has two cameras, one on the outside and one on the inside facing you. The bad part is the quality. It is only 0.3 megapixels. Every cell phone now has a better camera than that. Anyway, other than that, there is a reset button right under the arrow keys so instead of turning off the system to go to the home page, you just need to press the button, and it will take you to the home page immediately. Then, the other physical difference is that the volume control is now NOT a slider, it is now buttons on the left hand side of the system. Also the lights are on the left hand side and now an addition to the light is now a Wi-Fi light, so if you are connected to the internet, then it lights up. It also has an SD card slot for music and photos. The only down side to this is that it can ONLY read AAC formatted songs. It CANNOT read mp3 formatted songs. Now, the worst part for some GBA lovers, there is NO GBA slot. So you cannot play any GBA games. Some technology difference is that now the home page looks like the wii's. It was channels, like the preloaded game channel, nintendo DSi shop channel, and others as well. Now, the DSi also has an Opera Web browser on the shop channel for 0 points download. That is kind of convenient, but the browser is very slow, and it can only open some websites. It obviously has Wi-Fi connectivity, for the internet and some games that support Wi-Fi. Ok, I have to go to sleep now, so I will pdate the blog tomorrow! By the way, I uploaded a picture of the DSi so you know what it looks like.
PSP: I am going to write about the PSP 3000 and the PSP go, so if you want me to do any other PSP system, then comment it. Ok, the PSP 3000 looks like a big and slim rectangle with curved sides. It has arrow keys on the left side, it has 4 shapes as buttons (circle, triangle, rectangle, and an x) on the right side. It has an L button on the top left for the system, and it has an R button on the top right side of the system. It has a huge screen in the middle. It has a pull out UMD cover on the back. By the way, for the people who do not know, the UMD cover is where the game disc goes. The graphics are really good for a portable game system and it is far superior to the DSi. The games are mostly teen rated, as against to the DSi, which has a few teen rated games, and some new teen rated games have come out too like star wars. One more convenient feature is that it has Skype, which is a free video calling service online. Sony sells webcams for the PSP, but I believe it is pretty expensive, but if you are a Skype user, then it is worth it. It also hs a browser, so it obviously has Wi-Fi connectivity. You need a memory stick to save all your game data, and with the memory stick, you can store music, videos or photos from a computer and you can view it, hear it or see it on the PSP. That is a very useful feature that the PSP supports. There are some controls at the bottom too. There is a home button which allows you to go back to the home page, and it allows you to adjust the volume. There is a start and select button, there is a volume control, there are brightness controls and, that's it. It has a start slider button on the right hand bottom side, and if you push the slider down futher, it will goon hold. Hold makes the controls lock, so you cannot operate the system without pushing the slider up again. The anolog stick is at the bottom of the arrow keys. The memory stick jack is on the left hand side of the system. The wireless lan switch is on the top of the system, and the USB jack also on the top of the system. Well, I have to do my homework, so I will update it again tomorrow!
PSP go: Alright, now it is time for the PSP go. The biggest picture on top of the blog is the PSP go. It does not look like the PSP 3000 at all, except for the buttons. The screen is now a slider, and by that I mean when you push the screen up, the buttons and the anolog stick is revealed. The screen is just a little smaller is width, but it is a little bigger in length. The light on the right hand is the bluetooth light, (I will explain the bluetooth later), and the light on the left is just the light to show it is on. Now, the connectivity features. The features are really cool, now on the PSP go, because now it gives bluetooth connectivity. If your laptop or your desktop has bluetooth, then you can send and receive files like music and videos.
Now, the biggest change. The system does NOT have a UMD slot. You cannot buy a UMD and hope it plays. You won't even be able to out the CD in. To play games, you either will have to use your memory stick, download some games on that from someone else's PSP, and play it from there, or you can download then from the online Play Station Network. Another way is also from a PS3 system. It is through a USB connection. First, all you do is change the setting of the PSP go on USB mode in the settigs (XMB), and you then you connect the PSP go to your PS3 system with the USB cable. Then, on the PS3, you will find a PSP download game download file, and it will look like it will look like it is trapped in a small bubble. I believe itwill automatically start downloading, but for different kinds of media files, you will need to just press the triangle button on your controller, and you will start the file transfer! So now that you know how to download games and media files, now comes the bad part. The PSP is compatible with any Windows operating computer. It is NOT compatible with a Macintosh (MAC) computer. It will not read the PSP's hardware if you connect it.
Now, if you want any additional information with the PSP go, then comment it, so I will add it to the blog. Well, that's it for now, I will add to this post what ever you want me to, and also if there is a new, hot game out there that is going to be released. Just comment anything you have a doubt about, or if there is a game is a game or system you want me to clarify, and I will clarify it for you! Keep checking this blog post every week or month, because I might have updated it. Well, it was really fun writing for you, I hope to do it again soon!
