Advantages: Slique, easy to use, all around beautiful
Disadvantages: Hardly any sport games

...The reason I love the Nintendo DS is because it is a touch screen. This makes it very interactive, the different games that you get allow you to do different things on the touch screen. Such things like in Pokemon Ranger you can catch pokemon by drawing a circle around the pokemon. Or in Cooking mama 2: cooking with friends. You can use the stylus and touch screen to cut, grater, stir, break etc food. The amount of games you can play on this system ...

Advantages: Great for on-the-go and tons of features
Disadvantages: Comes with a tiny 32MB memory stick

The Sony PlayStation Portable...what a great product. This little gadget is possibly one of the greatest portable gaming consoles you can currently buy. With its 4.3 inch, 16:9 wide LCD screen with a resolution of 480x272, youre sure to be satisfied with the view. If you buy a Memory Stick Pro Duo which is large enough to fit a movie (around 700MB), you can convert that movie and transfer it onto the PSP, therefore being able to watch movies on the ...

Advantages: Wi-Fi, wide range of games.
Disadvantages: Bad screen, not for 'hardcore' gamer.

The Nintendo DS is an enjoyable game system. There is a wide range of games for all ages and many online games for the player who wants to play against gamers around the world. I wouldn't recommend the Nintendo DS to 'hardcore' gamers due to it's graphics and controls. Personally I think the Nintendo DS is mostly for the younger gamer who wants something to play in the car or on the plane. The Wi-Fi is very good for games, I've never got any lag ...
...the stylus and/or fingers. The Nintendo DS plays Nintendo DS games (obviously) and GBA games, this is a very nice feature because then you won't have to have a Game Boy Advance/SP and a Nintendo DS. The Nintendo DS DOES NOT play original Game Boy games. The DS includes a built in microphone which is the first time a microphone has ever been put in a handheld system. The microphone is used in Online Games and also games like WarioWare Touched and ... Read review

Advantages: Portable, MP3 & MP4 capabilities, Large LCD screen, Ability to update
Disadvantages: Still quite bulky, Could be damaged fairly easily

The experience of playing games on the PSP is amazing, the graphics are excellent and the control are easy to use. IN addition to great game play the PSP also comes with its own , even thought quite limited, web browser, Mp3 capabilities and also displays images and videos amazingly on its wide large screen. Now its both slimmer and lighter. The first time I held the console, i could hardly feel anything, due to the previous one being much more bulkier ...
...long, so i do not yet know what the long term effects of extreme gaming does to the system, But the previous system was able to cope with it very well and the only problems with that were when the gamers used more force than necessary and due to carelessness, bu in all fairness the console was rather weak. However my Slim and lite has endured 6 months of addicted game playing and still in mint condition! ... Read review

Advantages: It's in colour, duh!
Disadvantages: Quiet, no cool style tretris like the original Gameboy..

Although it would seem to be an old piece of kit now-a-days, I can't help but wonder what I would have been like without having a GameBoy Advance to help me through those boring airport terminals, or ridiculously long coach journeys. Of course, it was only on holiday that I used the GameBoy - using it any other time just didn't seem right! At the time, it was a magnificent mesh of modern and old, the mixture of new colours and shapes with the old ...
...mine is stowed away, waiting for a day to reappear, and it is still in working order. The graphics, sound and games may not be much, but they are fun to get nostalgic with! This is definitely going to be one of those retro toys to return in a few years time, and when that time comes, I'll be there waiting with my tacky plastic backlight, and interchangeable-various-colours-covers to auction away.. ;] ...
