The Dv888 is cheaper because it doesn’t have hubstacks.
I prefer the Dv888, but I’m not a big fan of either.
If you like flat-rimmed shapes, go for the Dv888, is you like more rounded shapes, try the 888

I have tried both, I like the dv888 a little better. It’s cheaper than the 888 because of materials, and it has no hubstacks. The dv888 is still undersized (which I love.) If you’re not going to use the hubstacks, consider a dv888 then. They are different in shape also. I just love the feel of the dv888, it’s really all you need on your journey through yo-yoing! dv888 for me.

DV888. I have a 888 too. I like the flat rims and it fits in my hand. The DV888’s anno is why better than the 888.

I haven’t tried the Dv888. All I know is that the Dv888 is flat rimmed, and the 888 is rounded.
I just like rounded yoyos.
