having problem selecting between PSP and DS Lite? no idea which type to choose? what are you considering? why can’t you make a choice? hmm… actually all this questions are really normal… cause i face the same problem before this as well… i even list it out in a table format… to compare this two game console… end up.. i bought DS Lite.. and now i got the PSP as well.. hmm..
comparison below is base on my personal experience…
|
Sony PSP 2000 (Slim) |
Nintendo DS Lite | |
| Screens | 1 big screen (4.3 inches (16:9) full-transparent type, TFT drive) but will get finger prints easily |
2 screen, one of it is touch screen base |
| Weight | Lighter than DS (189g / 6.7 oz (including battery pack)) | |
| Online | Yes, there’s no extra software needed, but there’s no touch screen, which is quite hard to surf… |
Yes, but Browser software is needed. Price for the browser is approx. RM 150 |
| Price | Approx. RM880 (include a 4GB memory card with pouch) | Approx. RM 750 (including R4 card) |
| Control | Directional buttons (Up/Down/Right/Left)Analog pad, Enter keys (Triangle, Circle, Cross, Square), Left, Right keys START, SELECT, HOME, POWER On/Hold/Off switch, Brightness control, Sound Mode, Volume +/-, Wireless LAN On/Off switch, UMD Eject |
Touch screen, embedded microphone for voice recognition, A/B/X/Y face buttons, plus control pad, L/R shoulder buttons, Start and Select buttons. The stylus is 1 centimeter longer and 2 millimeters thicker than the stylus of the original Nintendo DS. |
| Other Features: | You can always Online and chat with your MSN / yahoo online contact |
Embedded PictoChat software that allows up to 16 users within local range of one another to chat at once; embedded real-time clock; date, time and alarm; touch-screen calibration. (Seriously, for this is good when there’s friend who have the same game console… but… come to think of it… after i bought it for so long.. i only use it once…so is like a bit wasted…) |
| Battery Life: | if you keep play… at most it can hold 2 days MAX | i’m quite surprise with the battery life… cause it can hold till quite long… which is good for the gamer |
| Game Type: | more happening game, more on graphics | more interactive game, such as nintendogs, cooking mama |
| Cons: | 1. will get finger print easily 2. battery die real fast… haih… and is hard for gamer to check out the battery status while playing game -_-” |
1. sound not loud enough 2. can’t play video… actually with R4 card it should be able to view, but is hard to find the converter 3. can’t online without the Browser software card 4. is hard to play game wireless with friend |
| Memory Card: | Sony Memory Stick… 4GB memory can fit around 10 games max… it depends on the game capacity |
Micro Sd… 2GB memory can fit around 20 games max… and it depends on the game capacity as well. Comparing with PSP, DS game file size is much smaller |
So, have you decided which to buy? Anyway you can below is the contact of the shop that i bought both Nintendo DS Lite and the Rose Pink Slim PSP ^^

I was contemplating to buying a PSP (I always support Sony), now that after seeing the comparison, I’m more tempted to get one :p Thanks for the info.
Actually in your PSP con no.2, you can press the ‘Home’ button while you’re playing a game and the battery status will be displayed on the top right of the screen. Just a little tip
Besides, once the battery getting low, the power button there, the small little LED light will start blinking.
Janice,
hehehe… cool cool… once you bought it then you will nv feel bored ^^
Alex,
hmm… press Home arr… a bit mafan ler.. cause… once you into the game… -_-” you wont have time to actually press that button… ^^ unless you pause it lar.. but right now that’s the only way.. phew
Kev~
arr.. really? i didn’t notice that… there’s one time i play Luxor till suddenly the PSP turn off by itself… cause the battery is DEAD… hahaha… didn’t even notice that the lights blink… maybe my hand block it d…
the only way to online for dslite is using the browser?
hehe.. just got to know that I cannot use that to online when I bought it.
No worries, that’ll be RM50 please, thanks.
Haha jk
I’ve been thinking whether I should get the PSP too, but I’m just worried that one day I’ll get bored and I’ll throw it aside and waste my money T_T
ahlost,
hmm… if you would like to surf the net, chat with frens tru msn, then you have to purchase the browser lu ^^
Tyler,
