Get the DS, purely for the fact that Chrono Trigger DS was released recently. Seriously, the game is awe-some. Even more so then the original releases. And ofcourse the DS has other awesome RPG's too, but imo this one is by far the best.

You are kidding.
I hope you are kidding.

I never play my DS, and I rarely play my PSP now. In the past few months only Mother 3 and Star Ocean have been played. If you play RPGs the most, I would just go with the PSP since you can hold an archive of old RPGs plus some of the decent ones on the actual system. Don't let CTDS be a deciding factor though, unless you want the same content you got 12 years ago.

There's really not THAT much extra. I mean I really like the port, and I think it's quite a stellar port, but there's not MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF NEW STUFF there's a new dungeon that takes like 4 hours which is pretty impressive, but fairly boring, and some new hacked-on ending. I mean it's a great port, but it's not REALLY worth the 40 bucks.

Yeah. A bunch of poitnless shit that where tacked on that adds nothing of value. If he wanted a CT with FMVs he could play it right now on his psp by making an eboot of the FF Chronicles version.

It's people like you facilitating the bullshit that is keeping creativity at bay. You are hurting the industry... and you couldn't care less, just as long as you get your recolors and extra dungeon.

I can see that you obviously haven't played it yet...

Dude I really don't want to go off topic, but this needs to be addressed.

If you count this as GOOD extra content, I dunno what to say. The new dungeons are tacked on and lack the attention the REAL dungeons got in the game. The arena is pointless, and the maps look like they were made by and 13 year old in RM2K. I mean look how bad that dungeon is. You can see every bit of extra content they added on youtube, and anybody who appreciates CT knows that it's tacked on and obviously not worth it just by looking at the videos. I don't even go with professional reviewers most of the time, but even they say it's not worth the buy if you've already played the game.

Or it just links CT to RD and CC....

(not that any of this has anything to do with the topic, hooray for another CT DS derail)

Guess I'm saving the rest of this part for the bus rides!

The best part about CT DS is how the new ending is Square's attempt at making Chrono Cross canon.

fixed.

to be honest i think that a cheap, used copy of Brain Age IS worth it for the sudoku tho

Actually, that's all I used brainage for, heh.

I should expand on my love for PSP. It wasn't just my awesome-o mp3/movie player. It had some of my favourite games of late. Both Grand Theft Auto instillations were tops. I especially liked the Liberty City Stories because (as far as city layout) LC > Vice City. And the adhoc GTA gameplay before GTA IV came along was terrific. Uh... Oh god, I just have a stack of vidya gams I loved on that console. Even the shitty ones were pretty fun:

Ape Escape: On the Loose ~ I hadn't played Ape Escape before, and this was a fun little romp of monkey catching.
Armored Core: Formula Front ~ Really enjoyed this one. Where it lacked in gameplay, it thrived in stragedy. (You set up your mech weapons, boosters, AI and let it duke auto-battle with other mechs)
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night ~ Come'on.
Crisis Core: FF7 ~ A good one-time playthrough. It had an alright battlesystem, and the ending was great. Good for FF7 nostagia, moreso than the other parts of this 'ff7 series'.
Darkstalkers Chronicles ~ I'm a DS fan. 
Cube ~ Inventive puzzle platformer. Fun, medium-paced, brainteasing. Love it. + Level maker.
Death Jr. ~ The first platformer / shooter to really challenge me since PSone's Blasto. Yet, the black humour made cutsy was a little weird.
Dungeon Maker: Hunting Grounds ~ This surprised me. It was a lot like Jade Coccoon in presentation; except instead of endlessly capturing and breeding monsters, you're making a labyrinth to invite monsters in so you can kill them for sellable items to further your dungeon-making inventory / equipment / magic. If you like dungeon-crawlers that pretty much lack story and are full of hacknslash fun, this is for you.
Echochrome ~ Another interesting puzzler, though the small amount of levels make it a rental more than anything.
Everybody's/Hotshot Golf ~ being a Hotshot fan since PSX, this was a no-brainer. As usual, they made gameplay tweaks to keep me happy, and plenty of unlockable costumes / characters.
Exit ~ A rental, if you don't like puzzles. It has a cool concept and look appeal to it, but beyond that the game can be as repetative as those Mario Vs. DK games.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions ~ Worth it for the upgraded script and cutscenes. The new jobclasses are moot when you get Cid, just like any jobclass character in the original--however, it's all the same fun. First gen PSP's experience a tiny bit of lag when casting spells/items. (though it wasn't so terrible that I noticed; I'm relying on others critical opinions here)
fl0w ~ Just as fun as on PS3. It's like Spore LVL1. Go around eating other organisms and advance to the next genetic stage...
Grand Theft Auto : LBCS & VCS (as stated above, both cames rock.)
Jeanne d'Arc ~ A tactical RPG akin to FFT, minus the job classes. The characters are all set with weapons and you use stones to set various skills. One of my favourite PSP games to date.
LocoRoco ~ I can't describe this, or why it's fun. It's fun for the same reasons Katamari is addictive.
Lord of the Rings: Tactics ~ Another good tactics rpg. You can play as the Fellowship, or the badguys. I'm not a big LotR fan, but this was a satisfying game to play. My fave. fight was escaping Moria and trying to avoid the Balrog... AND THE DWARF KICKED HIS ASS.
Me & My Katamari ~ It's hard to hate Katamari after you've played it. This did a reasonably good job recreating the gameplay of two analog sticks with facebuttons, and the credits stage is to die for.
Metal Gear AC!D ~ If you take the story with a grain of salt and know it's not 'cannon' you'll enjoy this more. It took me off guard, but I fell in love with the card-based tactical sneaking ops.
Metal Gear AC!D2 ~ You have no choice but to take this vibrantly coloured, heavily stylistic MG with a grain of salt. It's strictly over-the-top. Yet, there's way more cards to choose from, and a wide variety of levels to traverse.
MGS: Portable Ops ~ Though stage-based, this felt exactly like Metal Gear Solid 1 and quite nearly had MGS2's graphics. This is a must-play for MGS fans, as it explains a lot about Naked Snake and answers a lot of questions left hanging in previous MGS games. The only downside was the stupid Metal Gear. Totally uncool. However, the cutscenes (that played like a digital comic) were terrific.
PaRappa the Rapper ~ If you were too young to play PaRappa on PSX, this is a good time to catch up. Kick, Punch, it's all in the mind!
Patapon ~ A rental, but the rhythmatic gameplay is hypnotising... Pon Pon Pata Pon... Pata Pata Pata Pon...
PoPoLoCrois (RPG) which I didn't beat, but got to the end dungeon and got sidetracked. Game was freaking awesome.
Power Stone Collection ~ Dreamcast's best fighting game in the palm of my hand, plus... the sequel... Love it. The addition of the Dreamcast VMU minigames is neat too. It's like they stuffed everything Power Stone onto PSP.
Sonic Rivals ~ You face off against other Sonic characters, while at the same time dashing along as fast as you can, through a VERY classic-feeling Sonic game. Best Sonic since Sonic Adventure...
Sonic Rivals 2 ~ More of the speed, a lot more, and same great gameplay with the addition of some Game Gear Sonic gameplay elements (See: Hang gliding).
Twisted Metal: Head-On ~ God, the hours I spent playing this online... Probably rivals the time I put into Call of Duty 4.
Wild Arms ~ Somehow I missed this RPG on PSX, but got to it now... wow, fun times man. Bad 3D Graphics for graphic whores, but a great game nonetheless.
WipeOut Pure ~ Uh, it's WipeOut. Different levels, online play, and new vehicle designs. It's WipeOut... That = fun.
Worms: Open Warfare ~ A little laggy but a great worms game. Ad-hoc was fun.
Worms: Open Warfare 2 ~ More lag, less fun. Better gameplay though. Perplexing... If only you could turn off those dumb backgrounds it would run like silk.

That's my stack of games. I enjoyed each one for their own reasons... The least fave on that list was the last one (WormsOW2). There's at least ten games I want to play still. God of War, Ratchet & Clank games, Daxter etc... never got around to 'em.

The best part about CT DS is how the new ending is Square's attempt at making Chrono Cross canon.

Yeah.... while looking at related vids to the one posted here I saw that.


...

At least they didn't retcon her hair.

Well I guess not if you're not a fan. But if you like RPG's I think it's worth it. There's also WiFi stuff so you can go with other people, and for europeans, this is the first time ever a Chrono game is getting released in Europe.

I absolutely adore Chrono Trigger, and I've played the original to completion at least 4-5 times. I'm now going through the DS port for my second time. It's just... yeah, it's a good port but it's not a reason to buy a DS over. Get a PSP, emulate the original or the PS1 version (god forbid, with those fucking load times), and you will get pretty much exactly the same experience.

So Star Ocean 1 on PSP came up earlier in this thread?  I still like the game is anyone playing it

It's pretty cool that the game is really exploitable but that there are always extra challenges.  The game is designed for you to exploit it.  Like I just made an item that increases my level by one, but I can also use the magic camera to dupe it, so I can sort of level to infinity.  Also I have like infinite money because I used item creation to make a crystal that I sold for $$$$$$$$$ instead of making an accessory out of it.  I guess it is sort of stupid but SO is built around this kind of ridiculous crap and it is kind of the point!  It is a novel idea that grinding for levels and money in SO is not done by fighting lots of battles, but by knowing the right ways to exploit item creation.  The (reasonably positive) reviews highlight item creation as like the primary source of fun in the game and I can see why.
