Portable game system question
Hey everyone,
My wife and I are considering buying our 9yr old a portable game system for Christmas, do you have any suggestions on which system is the best for a 9, almost 10 yr old? We have done some research on Gameboy SP, Nintendo DS as well as the Sony PSP. I read somewhere that they are phasing out the Gameboy SP, is this true?
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

It's probably true but either way you can play old GB games on the DS anyways. I say go with the DS. I think the PSP is for a much older crowd anyways, and the DS has a TON of games all highly worth owning, even for yourself if you didn't have kids. I own it and use it more then my PSP. I don't even know where it is right now.

DS no question, it plays all the advance games (of which they aren't really making any more anyway) and it just plain rocks, nintendo has been the unquestioned leader in hand held gaming since the beginning of it for a reason

I just picked up a DS for my daughter last weekend Mikey. She is almost 8 and I think it might be a good system for your daughter as well

I got to agree with the rest of the group .. DS all the way... it has the better games..
the PSP has horrible controls & audio.. the games just don't do it for me
the majority of people i know use the PSP to either watch video or hear music......
Get your kid MARIO KART ... i guarantee you'll have 'em hooked
