<p>How often do you see people with Nintendo DS lites at college? How often do you see them played by males?</p>
<p>I've only seen I think two people with them, and both were males.</p>
<p>my roommate and his girlfriend have them. otherwise....havent seen them around much.</p>
<p>I've seen two, one of which was mine. The other belonged to a guy that I had a few classes with that semester.</p>
<p>If you thinking about getting one, you should! It's a great little system.</p>
<p>The PSP is 1000x better</p>
<p>SoLonley,</p>
<p>I beg to differ.</p>
<p>The PSP offers almost no killer software, it's much more expensive, and the UMD format is struggling. The DS, despite its lack of multimedia features, offers tons of fun software.</p>
<p>UCLAri,</p>
<p>Hmm lets see, </p>
<p>The PSP has a way bigger screen than the DS, as well has the ability to hold pictures, and play music/videos. In addition, I find that the majority (not all, but lots) of Nintendo games cater to younger gamers. Not to mention the whole "touch screen" thing is extreamely retarted.</p>
<p>Again, name killer apps on the PSP. I don't buy videogame systems to prove how adult I am, but to have a fun diversion. Why buy a PSP to play music/watch videos when I have an iPod?</p>
<p>And don't know the touch screen thing until you've actually played some games that take advantage of it.</p>
<p>^To UCLAri or SoLonley, how often do you see DS on campus?</p>
<p>I don't, but why would that matter?</p>
<p>I've seen one PSP on campus, and the guy was using it as a video/MP3 player.</p>
<p>The DS has lots of really great games. I'm so addicted to Elite Beat Agents that I'm about to import it's Japanese counterpart. Meteos was incredible, even with the steep learning curve (you have no clue what you're doing for the first hour or so, even if you read the book!). I'm hearing great things about Hotel Dusk, an interactive fiction game. Mario Kart DS is one of those games that always somehow finds it's way into my system for months at a time, just for the wi-fi play. </p>
<p>Another good point (which I kinda mentioned above), is that it's not region locked. If you wanted to get a game before it was released in the U.S., or wanted a game that isn't coming to the U.S., you can have it imported.</p>
<p>Actually, I have seen 2 other DS lite's on campus. One of the girls in my psyc class last semester had one, and would play Meteos during class, and I saw random guy w/ one in the library once.</p>
<p>I've seen a few people on campus with a ds (male and female), including one of my close friends. They definitely help when you're in the middle of a mind-numbing lecture. I actually met a guy in a class because he was using one and I asked him what game he was playing.</p>
<p>PSPs on the other hand may be "better", but I've really only seen one person using one on campus, in the past two years that I've been at school.</p>
<p>
I don't, but why would that matter?
because thats the subject of this thread!</p>
<p>Yeah, but I don't see the point of the question. What are you trying to gauge?</p>
<p>^^^ He probably wants to know whether to take a DS on campus, and whether it's socially accepted. It is.</p>

<p>I'm in the EXACT same position!!! EBA is dominating my life now, in fact I'm worried that I shouldn't take it to college because I'll do nothing else. Meteos didn't have much of a learning curve (match 3 blocks vertically....) I also want to try out Hotel Dusk, cause I loved Phoenix Wright.</p>
<p>Anywho, I'm a senior in HS right now but I know about 10-12 people that bring them to school every day (me as well).</p>
<p>Yay! Another EBA person! :)
How far along are you in it? What all have you S-ranked?</p>
<p>the ds lite and mario kart is the new thing</p>
<p>By the time you've finished loading a game on the PSP, I will have already finished three rounds of mario kart</p>
<p>Are you kidding me.. I haven't S-ranked anything yet, probably never will. I will do try to get an A in everything - so far I'm doing "Chieftan" mode, on the last couple tracks. What's funny is I'm trying to download the actual songs from the game, but the real songs don't sound much like the ones in EBA (they seem modified or something).</p>
<p>And ya ^^^ PSP's loading is atrocious. I have one, and cannot stand to play it, ugh.</p>
<p>Yeah, the songs in the game are covers. I've heard of places where you can get the covers, but I don't actually know where they are.</p>
<p>I've already played through they whole thing, and have about 6 s-ranks. My first was "YMCA" on Hard Rock. Good times, good times! :) </p>
<p>I will give you a hint - in Sweatin' (the mode you're currently on) and Hard Rock mode, use headphones on "Canned Heat". It'll save you from throwing your DS at the wall..... ;)</p>
