Gone are the days of carrying around our hulking Gameboys, and in came the days of the Nintendo DS and Playstation Portable. These two invention may have revolutionize how we play portable games giving us better functionalities and better graphics. This year these devices has been upgraded again from Nintendo DS to Nintendo DSi and from PSP to PSP Go.

What’s in a DSi?

The new generation of DSi features

• Two built-in camera back and front with editting capabilities
• Music playback capabilities
• SD card slot along with built-in memory
• Free browser application
• Larger screens at 3.25″ (previously 3″)
• Syncing photos with your Wii
• DSi shop where you download your multimedia with a point system

This console plays all Nintendo DS games but is not compatable with Gameboy Advance games (DS Lite was able to)

What’s in a PSP Go?

This new generation of the PSP features

• a new generation hardware
• built-in flash memory (16gb)
• slider (slide out keypad)
• 3.8″ screen which is slightly smaller than the original PSP at 4.3″
• Bluetooth support
• Digital content without UMD
• Playstation network support

Some titles that will be released with the PSP Go are

• Little Big Planet
• Jak & Daxter
• Metal Gear Solid
• Warhawk
• Gran Turismo PS

This PSP Go will not replace the PSP in the market now, as it will coexist with it. The PSP Go is much smaller than the PSP.

My Opinion

I love the DSi because of all the new features like the camera and the photo editting capabilites and I like the fact that you can listen to music and go on Wifi and download Nintendo games.

I love the design of PSP Go as it is much smaller with a cool slider design and the graphic is slightly better than anything offered in the Nintendo DS.

If I were to choose I would choose the DSi as it is more interactive and has more attracting features (the camera) than the PSP Go. But if I had the money I will definitely purchase both of them.
