complete newb to DS lite

i have a psp and im am thinking of buying a DS lite and i was wondering if it was worth it, i mainly just want to get one to play super mario bros. does the DS just play games or can u listen to music and play movies to? do u get some kind of memory card with it?

 

Getting a Nintendo DS in my opinion ia definately worth it.
Playing Movies and/or Music is not an option to you out of the box.
But with many add-on products available from many online sites it would be possible. Mario is just one of the reasons that yous should get a NDS........go to the nintendo website and check out their long list of stellar games.

 

ok, but it is possible to play movies and games with some kind of modchip or somthing like that? and another question i have is if there is some kind of menu screen if ur not playing a game or does it just play the games and thats it.

 

there is a menus screen with a clock and the date and it has options for picto-chat and download annd play, and you can choose between playing a GBA game or a DS game, or it boots the DS game automatically, depending on how you have it configured

As for playing movies there are such devices as the m3, then you can play movies but you have to convert them, and for me they go out of sync with the audio, so its nothing impressive. most people buy the m3 so they can play backups of games.

Hope this Helps

 

i think ill buy one tomorrow or ill wait for one of the black ones to match my psp :>)

 

I'd stick with the PSP

My sister has the DS Lite, and it's nothing really impressive that sticks out about it or anything . The PSP basically does everything right out of the box, and the graphics are way better. They're both great handheld consoles, though. I had a PSP, but sold it becuase I got and iPod Video and didn't really use the PSP so I traded it in along with some other consoles to get a 360.

 

DS is better IMO. PSP is more expensive, games take FOREVER to load, battery life is 1/3 of the DS's, you dont have inovative features like the mic and touch pad (theres, nothing like blowing zombie spit back in their face in RE). plus you can play GBA games on the DS.

Dont get me wrong, i WAS a huge sony fan, but they have dropped the ball and really pissed me off with their attitude with the PS3... so Nintendo FTW! The Wii will rock the game market.

 

i decided to save my money and get an xbox 360 and keep my psp so now i got both and the 360 is rockin now i just need a HD tv so the graphix look even better.

 

Good choice, the 360 is definately rokin'
