360 Vs. PSP

Hey, I was wondering, I have a DS (It's dying quickly) and I need a new portable. So I was thinking I should buy a PSP. But for the same money I can buy a 360. Please keep in mind that I have NO current generation consoles. What should I do?

EDIT: I also will not have internet on my 360, so no online.

Comparing a handheld system to a home console is a bit weird, but I'd say you should definitely get the 360 if don't have a current gen console. Unless you don't get a hard drive; that's just a bad decision.

Oh dear lord, DO NOT buy a PSP.  Even with all of the problems with the 360, and there are many, it is a no contest - buy the 360!!!!.  You will more than likely regret buying a PSP.  (I have 2 PSP and no 360).

I say get a PsP, I have one, it is one of my main consoles and I love it. There are some good exclusives on it, you can browse the internet etc, but the 360 is a good choice to.

I'd say go with a 360.

Buy a 360. PSP is great, but a next gen console is better.

Technically, the PsP is a current generation handheld.

But ain't a PsP a next gen console?
Everyone told me it was.

Xbox 360 no questions asked

TREE SIDDDY.

I hardly use my PSP for games ever since I modded it (no endorsement). Personally, I say 360 all the way.

But, if your DS is quickly dying, I'm assuming it must've been from overuse; meaning, you must've played a lot on it. Why don't you get a DSi when those come out?

It's a handheld...

I get confused with all this handheld - console crap.

Definitely a 360. The PSP is a great system but it is inferior to the DS. Even without online, the 360 is a fantastic system.

If gaming is what you want to do, get a 360. Though if you want to be able to bring it around, obviously a PSP is portable. It is a bit of a strange comparison....

I had a PSP and could not get into it. First of all, they aren't really very many good games for it. Granted God of War Chains of Olympus is incredible, as is Crisis Core, Wipeout Pulse and others but that's the extent. Unless you have a niche gaming sense (RPG perhaps, where you could play Jeanne D'Arc and so forth) which if you don't have any of the current gen consoles, I would guess not.

So even though this is a comparison that I think is not quite right to make.. if you really want to play a bunch of games and have a library to choose from, go for the 360.

360   Nuff said.

I would go with a 360, I have a PSP and the only time I use it is when I go on vacation in the summer.

360 for sure.  Im just not much of a portable gamer myself

The Xbox 360 may be your best bet, even though you'll be missing out on quite a bit if you're not taking it online.

Both are great consoles, but if you can only choose one you should definitely get a 360.

Really an odd comparison, but buy a 360. The game choices are much more varied than the PSP, and there is much more developer support. While there are some strong selling points for the PSP (portability, cheaper games), there just isn't enough developer support for the PSP. Although in the end it really depends on personal preference.

Depends: Would you rather play games at home or on the go?

360 all the way.

Dude, the PSP is as dead as the Wii, just get a 360 and some internet connection.

360, although no online is a hindrance. But even so, 360 all the way.

I use my Psp all the time, for music and games mostly, it`s a great little system, but if you don`t have a main console, go for the 360.

Are we still calling the 360 next gen? OK, i'd go with the 360, I got real bored with my PSP real quick. Sure it's games are pretty, but there's just not that many good ones out there...

If you want a handheld, get a PSP or buy a DSi (which is the same price as the PSP). If you want a console, get a 360, although not having online will probably seriously hamper your enjoyment of it.

Handhelds and home consoles don't fall under the same category.

Keep the DS or get the 360. Or get both! :O

The 360 offers a lot more then the PSP, then again it is a console and not a handheld.

You know that Wii is the best selling console right know so I shouldn't call it dead. "

I want to believe that you are an alt of someone who is trying to make me go berserk on some idiot.

360...

360 is a great choice, even if you don't have Xbox Live.

I would say get the 360, better game selection, even if you dont get online, but still, why arent you getting a new DS?

"360...

But why do you not have internet ITS 2009, get with the times...

Fact is Wii sold the the most consoles, so Wii is not dead. "

I would go with the xbox for sure.

PsP is good, but 360 is just awesommmme.=]

PSP is decent, it has a few must have games, but there is much more of a variety of games on the 360 and you wont have to worry about the possibly of an "xbox 360 two" as quickly as you would of a "PSP2" as there are already widespread rumors of one being in development.  

I enjoy both but the 360 is the best bet.
