You got DS all over my PSP

edited August 2008 in PAX Archive
This will be my first year at PAX; hopefully the first of many. After deciding to attend, I started doing some research. The best source of information was this forum so I delved in; registering, getting a hotel room, signing up for Assasins, registering for the Pre-PAX Dinner, and making posts throughout, getting a feel for what PAX is all about. One of the many fascinating facets of PAX is the love for the DS. This hit me from the moment I started reading about PAX, and eventually I came to the conclusion that without a DS I would be missing out on something. Being a PSP owner, and a big fan of its modding community, I had to ponder much on this.

After spending much time in reflection, and a brief glance at my finances, I decided to do it. So, now I am on the DS bandwagon. The PAX community has swayed me. I'm not getting rid of my PSP, not by a long shot.

So, here I am, now with a foot on both sides of the fence.

    As a PSP owner you already failed at all of life. Ok, teasing aside...

    There are always other people with PSPs in the handheld lounge. We're gamers first and foremost, so plenty of people have both. You'll miss out on any fun pictochat shit going down, but you can still game, and you won't miss out on any MAJOR part of PAX witout a DS.

    The only other thing I can think of is the year Ben of the Minibosses jumped on pictochat during their concert and asked people what song they wanted to hear. Then I think he drew a wang.

    Oh he drew a wang all right. That's pretty much everything that anyone ever drew on pictochat. You open it up, and your DS explodes with scribbled manmeats.

    (BTW i have pics of the pictochat rooms... though they may discourage people)

    Oh and I own both as well, only reason I have a PSP is because of modding, of course.

    They did in Japan. It was Navy all the way around. They probably have it on eBay. the DS in Japan and the US both play games from all territories, so there is no reason not to get one if the price is right. Just remember they have different power outlets over there, so you'll need to buy a new DS lite charger at your local video game retailer (I believe they are cheap).

    If you want a blue DS, then pay the bit extra to get the import.

    They're talking solid blue. The link you gave is the cobalt and black one.
    If my current DS ever died, I'd probably import me a green one.

    One of those lime green ones like they just released in Europe?

    If so, I second that!

    Bring multiplayer games that can be set up quickly and played through quickly. Things like Mario Kart and Worms are good (for me anyway).

    Hell yeah there is. My friend and I spent some time last night creating and testing new rulesets too. We have a Ninja ruleset that basically requires close quarters fighting and excessive use of the ninja rope.

    Anyone bringing any Japanese import games this year? Namely the two Jump titles and the two Ouendan titles? Maybe some Band Brothers (I heard there is a new expansion that just came out).

    Worms Open Warfare 2, Madden 09... That's all I have right now, I can always get more. And Madden '09 is actually pretty fun on the PSP, figured multiplayer would be worth a try if anybody has it.

    Hmmmm, guess I'm thinking of Europe. Could have sworn the same rule applied to Japan. However, I've never been there, so I was just trying to give fair warning.
