PSP and DSi Feature Comparison

PSP World Writes:

"When the Nintendo DSi launches in the United States on April 5th, it will come with a hefty price tag of $170. Perceptive consumers will notice that this puts the Nintendo handheld at exactly the same price point as the PSP 3000 core pack, which currently retails for $169.99 in the United States. Excitement for the DS successor couldn't be any higher as we wait for it to arrive, but does the DSi offer value at its current price? To find out, we compare the features in both the Sony PSP 3000 and Nintendo DSi right out of the box."

$170 is definitely a ripoff for the DSi, at least until it gets some actual software and we can see whether it is a worthwhile upgrade. My DS Lite plays games perfectly and that's all I want it for.

If I want to play around with snapshots I can do it in much higher resolution on my PC.

ThanatosDMC5916d ago

Didnt they do this comparison a long time ago when it was announced in Japan?

BrunoM5916d ago

Yes they did but GAMING journalists like to hit on dead birds !

FarEastOrient5916d ago

They should have considered the region the PSP and DSi is coming from...

For example the PSP is Japan has a camera attachment, while in Europe it comes with a GPS Locater and acts as a controller for the PS3 DVR functions they have on PlayTV.

Also in the United States you can install the Google Android OS unto the PSP, you have to tweak the way it process data, an easy tweak.

Is it really true that new DSi is running at 512MHz? That is faster than Gamecube (485 MHz) :S

gumgum995916d ago

Its actually running on a 133Mhz ARM 11 processor.

infamous_275916d ago

Oh no! This PSP website has fallen to the dark side.

clinker5915d ago

yeah, but at the very end the article they say that the DSi isn't worth the price.

Ex-CoD producer tells devs to “be more like Larian, less like Activision”

Rubin: "Thank you! A lot of games, Call of Duty included just focus on how to make the most money possible out of the player base. They rely heavily on FOMO marketing and EOMM matches. But I feel like it used to be just more about the quality of the game which would drive players to play. And that means making the game more player centric. i.e. less engagement based tactics and higher quality experiences for the players. Better maps, modes etc. In other words your game should have a high player count because it's good and people want to play it rather than people playing it because the game has a $250M marketing budget. Everything is just said is very simplified as it would take too long to really go into it. One last simple analogy. Be more like Larian, less like Activision."

Lol the producer of xdviant a cod clone in every shape and way, including the micro & fomo is piss off his game getting shut down.

Sonyslave31d ago

Yet you work for another scummy company like Ubisoft that fight to flood single player games with useless battle passes, predatory microtransactions and to take away player ownership of the games they pay for.

This twitter post exposed this fool

Original Ridge Racer arcade classic coming to PlayStation in June

This will be the first time the original 1993 arcade Ridge Racer has appeared on home consoles.

I hear rumors that Evercade may also be getting a Namco Arcade cart with RR and Tekken on it. That would be sweet as their previous Namco Console carts have also recently been updated to work on the VS. Previously, they only had the license to the handheld. so the OG Evercade and the EXP and even the Alpha were supported, but not the VS.

Am i the only one that wants a Ridge Racer Type 4 Remake?

'It marked the first time the studio had used the license in 18 years since 2022’s Colin McRae Rally 3.'

Can you not get AI to do proofreading?

Weird article written by a bot.

In any case I knew EA would ruin Codemasters.

badboyz091d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

Codemasters will likely close soon😞
