Thread: Whats the best PSP or Nintendo gameboy to buy my son?

I want to buy my son (81/2 yrs) something portable for when we go out etc. I just jumped onto ebay to see what was available. There is different kinds, i have no idea what to get. Nintendo DS, advanced, gameboy, PSP???? Are they all colour screens? I dont want to spend heaps of money, so i guess the PSP will be too expensive. Any help would be great, i have no idea about this kinda thing.

on ebay, there are gamneboy advance with flip screen and some look older with no flip screen. whats the difference? which is better?

I own a PSP,Ninendo DS,and gameboy(flip screen). I like the PSP. The games are good but very expensive. The psp has good graphics if you want cheap games go to gamestop. The Nintendo DS is good and with cheap games and kind of good graphcs. The gameboy can be very boring sometimes. The games are bad but very cheap. It depends what kind of games he likes. If he likes driving, action get psp. fighting, shooting, simulator, get ds. Any other kinds of games are good for gameboy but better on psp and ds. hope this helps.
