I am puzzle guy, but I am getting old so the screen keeps getting smaller to me every day. I love the old PS2 games, but the wife won't let me play it in bed (haha). So, next best logical thing would be psp. I could sell my gba and 10+ games to get new psp and 2-3 games to start, but haven't even played one yet. Obviously I will rent one to try it out, but wanted to bounce the idea off you guys first. Thoughts?

My PSP is collecting dust. My DS gets used everyday and my roommate won't give it back.

Another vote for the DS. The screens are pretty big but I'm wondering if you can buy a magnefier like this:

Perhaps getting those 2X book reading glasses I see at costco might work better.

Get one of these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TurboExpress) =)

I would say go with a DS Lite over a PSP. All my friends who are still into the portable gaming systems have sold off their PSP because the movies were expensive and the games weren't as good as those available for the DS.

I'd go DS lite as well, especially if you're a puzzle guy.

DS Lite. Sony has been spiraling down in quality.

DS all the way. Sony is off its rocker with the PSP. No games...no love, plain and simple

well, that was easy. plus, all I have to do is sell the gba since the games are backwards compatible (thanks nintendo) and thanks G|A'ers! :wavey: She's on the block, now! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:11&item=130012617995
