Hardcore gamers have a soft spot for the DS at PAX



Recently, we provided hard evidence that to children, the DS is far, far greater than that other handheld. Now, dear readers, we're ready to offer incontrovertible truth that the same standard holds when one looks to the few, the proud, the hardcore gamers. They're everywhere in the photos from PAX -- the Nintendo DS is just insidious like that. But hey, when you're waiting around, what better way to pass the time?

Another picture after the jump.

The PSP, while being a status symbol for people with too much cash to spend, is only fun once you hack the crap out of it.

3. I was at PAX! It was seriously a sea of DS! lites, phats, and a rainbow of different colors were to be seen. it really was quite beautiful. The best was at the concert when everyone raised their DS's in the air and Tommy Talarico's response was "Hold on, we've got to let the PSP boot up". good times...

4. I was also at PAX and it was awesome. I saw no more than a dozen PSP's there. I saw more SP's than PSP's. The only problem was that all those DS began to interfere with each other for wireless multiplayer.

5. DS is bes for multipllayer.

It does amuse me that DS gamers are so insecure with another company's 1st round handheld vs Nintendo's 5th round handheld.

6. Well I for one can tell you that the DS Lite is a load of fun. I like it, I play it more than the GBA. It has a lot of fun games, and more to come.
