Something that really needs to be said about PSP's Vs. DS

[Beef Samich]

I know half this section got in a big fight over which is better. I'm going to admit I was part of it and was on the PSP side.

Ds has its plus sides and down sides. PSP has its plus signs and down signs. I think all gaming magazines agree with me: It's just whatever you prefer.

IF YOU LIKE

• Fun, Interactive games
• Chatting with pictures
• Playing game boy advance game
• Wi-fi with some Nintendo game
• Using a stylus or "stick"
• Microphone (although not too many games use it)
• Long battery life (12 hours approx)
• Cheaper then PSP ($150.00)

The Nintendo DS is for you

IF YOU LIKE

• PS2 like graphics
• Internet browsing (almost any site that doesn't have big long movies or requires a flash player)
• Listening to MP3
• Putting photos
• decent battery life
• T or M rated games
• Ad-Hoc (in range online play)
• Wi-fi (play across the world online NOTE: Wi-fi hotspot must be set-up)
• Can watch movies (WIDE VARIETY!!)

The Sony PSP is for you

DOWNSIDES

Sony PSP

• Semi-long load times
• approx. 8 hours batterr life
• No movies or flash playing webites (although somethings in the making for flash playing)
• Not a wide variety or games
• Very little E rated games
• Might glitch a bit during games and might have to shut down
• Most big memory cards cost a lot
• The system costs a lot ($250.00- system, basic things and 32 MB memory card.$300.000- same as the other one but includes 1GB memory card-- GOOD DEAL as the 1GB card costs around $100)

Nintendo DS

• Not too many T or M rated games (some are still in the making)
• Does not include earphones
• No internet browser icluded
• No media thingy included (MP3, Photo, Video)
• If you want media it probably cost a lot
• If you want to do Pictochat the range is slightly less than the PSP range
• Screen looks "cloudy" (Gamepro and Gameinformer)
• Screen scratches if you use the stylus too hard on the screen
• No movies to be watched at the moment

These are all the ones i coul pick off the top of my head. I'm not going to battle the DS lovers because they just might have a different taste in what they look for in a On-the-go gaming device. I have a PSP and I'm proud of it.

PLEASE POST IF YOU WANT SOMETHING ADDED OR TAKEN AWAY, BUT PLEASE SHOW PROOF!

[xxMATTGxx]

I dont think they willl want people to buy a New psp for a mic.

There will be an thing you plug in or theres one on there we dont know about. Or what they did with the PS2 Eyetoy is have a mic in that

[Stress Free]

i have both only played 2 good ds games so far but iv played quite a few for psp still nto shure what i like better

[HUGECOOL]

Media capabilities for the DS only costs $60, which would still be less than the PSP.

psp games are way too expensive compared 2 the ds ones and sony havent had alot of experience in handheld games. I admit the graphics arent as good on the ds but 4 all u guys who have massive ps2 game collection u cant play them on the ps2
