Gameboy - Ok pa ba?

[Mguy]

Guys, I got 2 kids and I'm contemplating of buying them a Gameboy each, just to settle them down on long trips or waits. Since mura lang ang Gameboy due to its age, I was wondering kung ok pa ba buying them. Although I would like to buy a PSP, pero big, bulky and more expensive sila.

Your thoughts, please.

Just get them Nintendo DS tapos buy R4 so you can just download the games, no more need to buy expensive cartridges....

mabubutas ang bulsa mo kakabili ng cartridge, mahal masyado.

tidus' and compact's opinion are both correct.

for one, each game cartridge costs around 600 pesos or more, depending on the kind of game. considering kids, ang bilis magsawa nyan.

a more reasonable solution:

a) the DS will work;
b) or a second hand modified PSP will also work;

kung pati ikaw eh maglalaro, mas sulit yung option b.

yep kung bibili ka go for DS na para even lumaki sila at maghanap ng mas bago "in" pa rin. though okay pa rin naman ang GB lalo kung tig isa mo bibilhan. for my kids tig isa rin sila bigay nga lang from abroad na pinagsawaan (siguro) pero ayos lang dahil during summer break lang. banned kasi mga kids kong mag games during school days.

Mag DS Lite ka nalang with R4DS. Sobrang liit lang ng filesizes ng mga games nito unlike PSP na umaabot ng 1.7gb ang isang game. Mas pangbata pa ang mga games sa DS Lite compared sa PSP.

Minsanang gastusan lang sa DS Lite since downloadable mga games. Kung mag Gameboy ka, di ka pwede magdownload ng game cartridge
