What handheld game system should I get?

Jeremy Donohue: 50 to 70 dollars wont get you anything. I would say a PSP

Catheryn Small: Neither the Sony PSP nor Nintendo DS can be bought with 70 dollars, and those are the two best available. You could look for a gameboy SP or maybe a gameboy Micro, but neither of those have Sims or can text or anything like that.

Freeman Rutkin: Well the thing about the iming or texting or whatever you said you can do that with an Nintendo DS, (Pictochat) but the people have to be some what close to you. Another thing is 50-70 let alone 100 dollars is going to get you little if anything. Now if you want graphics PSP all the way, if you want easier games, that would be the Nintendo DS. They both have online gaming but the PSP is easier to hook up.But if you want games for the sims then it would probrobly be a smart choice to get a DS, plus DS's are only 120, beating a PSP at 160, but you know, i lay it out so you can play it out. =P.

Donald ! Caravalho: The two major handheld game systems are the Nintendo DS and the Play Station Portable. Neither one is below $100. the DS is about $130, and the PSP is about $170. I have tried both, and chose the DS. The graphics are not as great as the PSP, but the touch screen, microphone, and dual screens allow for innovative gameplay experiences you can't have on the PSP. It's admirably designed and small enough to put in your pocket. I also like that nintendo games are more about cute characters and fun than excessive violence and gore. This is not to say you can't find fun games that aren't about killing things on the PSP, but there don't seem to be as many of them.You should definitely check both of them out, though. I know the DS has DS-to-DS text messaging and I think the PSP does as well....Show more

Carter Edstrom: I definitely didn't know gaming systems could IM other people... could I get that too for under $100? Or texting, or something?
