I'm getting rid of this:

Playstation Portable system
Original box
Soft case
2GB Sony Memory Stick PRO Duo
Sony earphones
Cleaning cloth
A/C adapter
USB 2.0/power adapter
Car adapter
White strap
Demo disc
Playstation-brand carrying case
PSP Games:
Midway Arcade Treasures: Extended Play
Wipeout Pure
Campcom Classics Collection: Remixed
Dynasty Warriors
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Essentials
Spider-Man 2

I was offered this lot in exchange. Does it seem like a good trade? I know absolutely shit about Nintendo DS and games. I'm concerned with the monetary aspect of this trade.

Nintendo DS
Carrying Case
Car AC Adapter
DS Games:
New Super Mario Bros
Super Mario 64 DS
Mario Kart DS
Metroid Hunters
Starfox Command
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Megaman ZX
Resident Evil DS

Goldeneye
Burnout Legends
Brain Age
PS2 Games:
Shadow of Colussus
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X-2
Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 4
DDRMAX Revolution w/ dance mat
Rumble Roses

+ cash $50-75 I imagine.
DEAL OR NO DEAL?

Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow is fun as fuck. But at times hard as a BITCH.

I'd do it, if I was in your position. Your getting a lot of crap in return, most of them being the best games for the DS.

Yeah, you should.

"I'll also throw in two GB Advance games: Final Fantasy 4 & Zelda Four Swords"

Methinks I'm gonna' do it.

Quality/Fun-factor: I have both and the DS kills the PSP

$$ Factor: Tough to say without investigating a little but with all the PSP accessories, etc. I think it's pretty close value wise. I'm curious though, no normal AC adapter for the DS???

I'd do it simply because the DS is a lot more fun and you are getting much better games.

The ONLY reason I would want a PSP is for that badass "Ultimate Ghouls 'n Ghosts" game that's coming out and makes me hate Capcom for not releasing it on any other system (yet). Other than that, the DS kills the PSP as far as longlasting entertainment goes. I'd definitely do that deal as long as the guy is legit.

"Ultimate Ghouls 'n Ghosts" game that's coming out

oh, it's been out and is very cool.

It's not getting very good reviews - at least according to meta's. It looked awesome though.

Anyway. I went ahead w/ the deal. I got all that; the system (yes, it has all accessories) 20 some games and $60. I'm happy.

Good deal man, you definitely made out better.

On a related note, if anybody wants to give me a copy of Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins and a Sony PSP to play it on... yeah, that'd be swell.

It has the potential to play THOUSANDS of games, surf the net, play bootleg vids, MP3s... It's got a kickass screen and easy controls. Why does the PSP suck?

My DS has more enjoyable new games.

My PSP is pretty much only used to emulate old games.

I like them both but in the end I like the software that has come out for the DS better. The PSP has the functionality to be my portable SNES, NES, Genesis or what-not which is also cool but I didn't need a new system to play those games.

the novelty of playing roms on my psp was pretty cool for a while, and it was ok as a video player (until i got a zen vision: m, then it got sold)

there are a couple of cool games for the PSP and its a great piece of hardware, but most developers seem to see it as a 'lets make worse versions of ps2 games' machine

...and the PSP doesnt have Dawn of sorrow and Phoenix Wright :P (until a decent Ds emulator comes out for it)

Wouldn't Work. Touch screen.
If the PSP had an Analogue Button (L3) Then, maybe.

Yeah its fun as hell.

And there are plenty of hacks for the DS. Ive even found one that turns your DS into a phone. But you need to do some MAJOR operating on it. like 30+ hrs to get it to work.

Yeah, well there's a mod that turns your PSP into a phone. Take that, Nintendork.

I think I went a bit too far with that.

i've said it before and i'll say it again, portable gaming is for eleven year olds

Portable gaming might be cool, but then I might feel the urge to go outside, and screw that.
