I am saving up money. should i buy a digital camera (the one i want is $200) or a psp ($170 plus $ for games)?

You said you were saving up money. BUT you didn't say how much you have. I'm, assuming its close to $200.

With the camera, you will likely just have to buy a memeory card and you will be ready to roll. You will be learning a SKILL, as well as having fun.

Games are a lot of fun, but they all seem to hinge around killing people these days. Plus, each game is probably like $50 bucks right?

I'd go with the camera.

Personally I would get the camera. Think of all the amazing pictures you can take of the beautiful things around you and all the fun times you can remember forever if you have pictures to look at later. PSP isn't that nice and its been out for awhile. its nothing really that cool.

I would buy the PSP - and save money and get a cheaper digital on ebay -

Take it from a PSP owner, do not get a psp.

Sure, you can play games, however...

A.) It's a battery hog, which means its an energy hog.
B.) The games aren't that great.
C.) Cameras can do a lot more. They can take pictures and videos depending on what kind you get.

Take it from me, don't get a psp. It's a waste of money. x3

If you buy a camera. You will want one that has decent mega-pixels. Because as digital photography evolves the mega pixels will increase more and more.
