Nintendo Ds Vs Gameboy Advance

[Black02Silverado]

OK here is the scoop. I'm clueless when it comes to these things. We are looking at getting our soon to be 11yr old daughter one and looking at what one would be the best choice for her. What are the pros and cons of each? One thing I have an idea on what would be good is battery life, we go through a ton as it is now with her twin sisters toys. Thanks

'you would be hard pressed to find an advance now, but even if you did, it is old technology and won't be supported for much longer. Unless you want to buy another in a couple years go with the DS. I wouldn't say go with the PSP though as it tends to pitch toward an older audience. More violence etc.

On another note, and I know I am doing a thread jack, I don't believe in game manufacturers having to censor their own products. They aren't trying to sell games to your 10 and 13 year old kids. If your kid is playing grand theft auto, and decides to go and shoot up an neighborhood and stomp a couple hookers, i don't blame rockstar (the publisher) I blame the parents for buying it for the children. Sorry for the rant. This isn't directed toward you nick, I'm just speaking in general.

Definately go with the DS, there is a great selection of games for younger audiences, and there are a few games out there for all ages, get it and try Brain Age 1 or 2. I bought one for me and my wife, in a bundle and she plays it all the time when shes not doing anything, they will even let you play with/against another DS wirelessly and some of the VS features are playable with out owning two game cartridges, you only need one, some do require both players to have the game.

Thanks for all the help.

 

BJD3 I wish I was able to throw a case of oil your way, I can let you have one or more at my cost. Right now I got to do some saving for this game.
