It's for whatever you want. *hands over a magic rainbow*

Let your dreams decide what the poll should be! xD
 
(That's a lot of freedom.....)

BTW: When, EXACTLY, does the PSP come Stateside?
 
Those pics are Biased.I mean,clearly for the same game the PSP is better,for better Graphics.But the DS has at least non-port games.And better gameplay.*coughmetalgearcough*
 
I don't know how the PSP will ever beat the DS. Once you feel how good touch really is, you're hooked!

Wight.it wont.Impossible.See,the PSP is a stupid idea.I already have a MP3 player(Ipod)a DVD player that I can get movies for for 19.99,And a Game player(DS)why would I buy that black paperweight?
 
Ya, you would at least think that the NGage would have turned them off. Nintendo is good at handhelds, and the GBA just broke the record for handhelds sold....^-^
 
Don't call either of them stupid. This topic is really touchy, and if anyone so much as says anything that isn't positive about either system, a fight usually breaks out. So watch it guys, you can discuss them but…don't flat out bash them.
 
There has been a simple, narrow-minded comparison of the DS and PSP(wow, how many times have I talked about these?). You cannot judge the DS and PSP based solely on graphics. It's stupid! Theres many more concepts to a system besides graphics.

The DS offers the same type of gameplay as the PSP, while the reverse is not true. The PSP cannot even compare to the interaction that Nintendo has offered with the DS. As for UMD discs, the battery power doesn't even allow for the music or movie to play good. Meaning, you'll have to walk around with an adapter and backup battery all the time.
 
I luv PSP XD

Those pics aren't biased! XD
Both are untouched and straight from the game.
Also, please don't assume that DS will have less port games than PSP, when PSP isn't even released yet XD
Lastly, some people may like the gameplay that you put down. DS's gameplay being better is your opinion, and by no means a fact.

Well, that's great for you, it really is. But just because you have an mp3 player and a DVD player doesn't mean that it applies to the rest of the world.
Also, some of us would rather have all of those features in one device, not many.

I wouldn't consider it 'impossible'

Well, you're right. Nintendo is great at making handhelds.
But Sony may be just as good, and I wouldn't count them out just yet. :P

I don't judge it based on graphics alone. I think that PSP's gameplay, games, features, and design is better too.

I don't really care for DS's interaction capabilities with features that are useless in my opinion, like picto-chat and a touch screen.

And don't even touch the battery-life issue. PSP can handle 5 hours+ for movies, 8 hours+ for gaming, and even more for music.

You all had previous attacks on battery-life and price, but now that the real facts are out- told ya so!
 
The GBA didn't offer all those features either, and yet it outsold consoles who had features like mics and online play etc. Features are good; however, if no software makes intelligent use of them, they'll go to waste. The GBA > GCN link is a good example. It's cool, but so few games make actual use of it beyond basic concepts.

I don't know anything about the PSP or the DS besides I don't intend to get either. However, beyond all the features and specs and everything it comes down to how much fun it is to play. Nintendo fans will buy a DS, and Sony fans will buy a PSP. Even if they put out the same quality of stuff as the Ngage, they'd outsell it, simply because of the larger fanbase. There really weren't…Nokia fanboys and girls, per se. Now if either can deliver real entertainment for those in the middle, or even reaching over to the other side, then they've got something.

…I think.

And Brit, I know it was just teasing, but don't taunt or even appear like you could be. See the above? I don't attack points of either console, and while it may not be the most compelling arguement, at least it's tranquil.

Are you talking about the 'told ya so' part, or my entire arguement?
 
Told ya so mainly. I realize you're not seriously taunting, but a lot of people are sensitive about this. That said, I was just giving advice. Let's return to talking about the DS and PSP. Like…

Has anyone tried steering with the second screen wheel? o_O Is it intuitive or more difficult to use?
 
I have one thing that Im shockd no one has talked about.
Everyone thinks the PSP will play ALL DVDs.....well it doesnt. It plays PSP exclusive DVDs such as Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children. While Im not saying PSP is bad I dont really like that part.

The DS has two screens and alot of people think thats it an online system....well its not. The "online" feature (and Pictochat) reaches approximatly from Your House to next door.

Although both systems are good DS offers slightly more (in my opinion) than the PSP. And as Kairi said Nintendo fans will buy DS, Sony fans will buy PSP.....thats entirely true.
 
Yo,Britt,Where did i say they were a fact?Nowhere.Maybe i am a Nintendo Fanboy.Who cares?I agree with Ms.Admin.minus the not getting one part.
Heck,Im getting the PSP even.

Also,DemaSked is a nintendo project that WILL let you reach 3000 miles to Anywhere*coughonlinecough*Using Hot Spots Wi-Fi is different from online.

DS is better than PSP. - stated as a fact
I think DS is better than PSP. - stated as an opinion

If you want to avoid an arguement, don't barge into a thread and say "DS's gameplay styles are better!" when you know that someone may disagree.

Also, I never called you a Nintendo fanboi, and you're not really getting PSP even by saying "I like DS!" over and over again.

'Ms. Admin' was just saying that to make sure I don't go too far in my posts, which I haven't done yet.

PSP plays no DVDs dear. It plays UMDs.

Abby was definetly right about the fan part, I'm just mad because some promote it with false information XD

Right-o.
UMDs (1.8 GB)
Memory cards (from 32mb up to 1 Gig, and even more in the near-future)

That's your main PSP media.
