OMG first of all,
DS stands for: From Nintendo
To our developers, it stands for "Developers' System," since we believe it gives game creators brand new tools which will lead to more innovative games for the world's players.

Also psp owns ds as, psp the umd (universal media disc) that they use. Movie companys such as warner bros and walt disney are starting to put movies onto umd discs. UMD is the disc of the next generation and soon dvd will be phased out.

The Wirleless features of both systems are on a limit. but psp pushes past ds limitations. As pictochat and wireless gaming for ds. But online gaming via wireless hotspot in psp. This means you can go visit your local libary as they have free hotspots and play someone else online!

Also the psp has the magic gate card slot, this means that using the usb port on the psp or using a card reader. You can transfer music and movie files to the memory stick duo. This means music on the move and movies too!

Also another feature, the infared port, there are rummors that this can soon act as an send and reciver from your mobile. As you can use your mobile as a wireless modem there is rumours that if your phone has an infared port, the psp can act as the web browser. Check your email and such. Sony or third parties might come up with a psp compaitble web browser saved to a UMD disc! The future is here my friends, and psp owns it!

Look rite this is gettin on my nerves now.
SD memory cards are NOT cheap.
Why do graphics always come into it., i mean, at the end of the day, isnt it all around gameplay that counts.
Im sorry to say but the psp is just a protable media center=done before.
How is the tocuh screen a gimic? When was the last time you saw a touch screen opn a GAMES CONSOLE???? It brings whole new ideas into handheld and all around gaming alike.
And im sorry but: lomen22, eammons and pilgrim. You have the worst and lamest, not even classable as arguments. Why wont the ds be able to go online bozo!

Both have their strengths and weaknesses, and until the PSP comes out on our shores (which we now have to wait until 1st September for) we can't definitively judge it.

However, the only problem I see with the PSP is that it's designed for home use. This was even said by the creator. Now why would I want to play a handheld with PS2 graphics when I could actually go and play my PS2 (and next year, my PS3) ? I find it hard to envisage playing Metal Gear Solid or Final Fantasy whilst on the bus, if they're going to be as immersive at their PS2 counterparts.

The DS is pick-up-and-play gaming. The touch screen and stylus are a gimmick. Everyone knows that; but who said having a gimmick was a bad thing. It's being put to good effect in many of the games that have been released, and as soon as we get some proper support for the system things should pick up.

Everyone seems to be under the impression that Nintendo are going to be overtaken by Sony in the handheld market, but they won't. Not yet anyway. Many people forget that the Gameboy is the best selling games system ever. And that's a fact.

In both Japan and America, the DS sold more in it's first week than the PSP did in the week after it's release. Shops sold out of the DS, but not of the PSP, despite almost twice the amount of DS consoles shipped to shops for launch.

Psp is overpirced and just a normal games consol which evetually you will get bored of. The DS is completly different, the possibilitys are endless with it, evan if the graphics arnt that good, graphics dont matter

The PSP has about 2 hours battery life.
