By far what?s going to be a larger draw for consumers than any other aspect of either of these consoles is developers. Square fans will get a PSP. Not because it has good graphics, but because it has Square

Er....get your facts straight. Its been reported SE has put more effort into the DS than the PSP. The PSP has currently very low 3rd party support =/


Also, I realize this post may seem leaned towards the PSP. But rest assured, I despise both of them with equal disgust.

Are you a console anarchist now? In my eyes, a true gamer apperciates these new systems both, for their amazing leap forward in the handheld world. I don't know what's disgusting about it. Rebuttle?
 
The Square thing was an example. It could have worked with any PSP 3rd party. The point still stands that if there's a game or company on either side that's massively appealing, people will flock to it.

I despise them because of PC, really. ~_~ Otherwise I'm indifferent to them.

Just like to be a rock in the flow of what's cool? -_- You sound like the people who turned against Pokemon when it was the "in" thing. >>;
 
And yet here I am, working on a Pok?mon message board. My room is lined with Pok?mon stuff. It caught my interest. The PSP and DS have not. Furthermore, these threads cause me more time, grief, and work than any other single aspect of the board. As such, I have a little distaste for them.

But that has nothing to do with the systems themselves, so let's return to that.

I can kind of feel with you there. I don't despise the two systems, but I don't really like either of them.

But if I had to pick one, I'd say that the DS is the lesser of the two evils.

You were just BEGGING for a rebuttle. I never said you were aniti-pokemon....x_x I have an AWESOME solution for your problems: IGNORE THOSE THREADS! >>;
 
I'm an admin. It's my job to deal with these threads. Now stop fighting with me and start discussing the DS/PSP. Last chance.

Sometimes people like a little bit of argument, and you have no idea how hard it is to just ignore these kinds of threads when your the one that is being attacked.

basic, human, nature...

Yay? You COULD relay on crappy voice recognition software (Sorry, the PS2 did it first with the Socom Headset) or you could press one button to reload.
The second screen has no purpose, really. Like I said, it's a feature great for when games couldn't scroll. But now? Pointless.

This is an innovation to the experience. WOW! Sony did it first with a Socom Headset. What handheld do you see being used on a handheld? *looks around* I don't see any... NOW the second, touch screen.

OF course on San Andreas we will eliminate the need to wear glasses to actually see the points in that little circle at the bottom of the screen and put this below you so you won't have to pause for useless things such as this. How about being able to spray paint your low-rider or car to your liking of design. This can also be done with graffitti on the tags and tattos that you get. You could design your own haircut instead of just buying the designs they give you.
How about being able to touch the screen on the enemies gangs to see their current stats like the percentage of territory they own and etc... How about when you try a home invasion mission, the microphone can pick up sounds that are being made around the console. This engage you more in the game and well as make it more challenging. When swimming, the microphone could make it so that you actually had to breath with the game in order to keep your lung capacity going good. The wardrobe, when you go into a store or your safe house you have to wait until the graphics load to see Carl in the appearance you want. Using the bottom touch screen once Carl walks in the closet you can customize from there and then walk out satisfied without spends a whole day in a clothing store. How about putting extra strategy into the game? Once you complete a task you have to make an escape route using the touch screen and map on the bottom screen; and if that route plan fails then you lose the mission. This would make prima books craved for the best escape routes and etc.

There are tons of possibilities...
 
from GameSpot
According to dozens of forum posts and lower-end game sites, many of the first batch of PSPs suffered from a variety of defects, including "dead pixels, dead drives, analog sticks not working and even falling off, and even screens with dust and 'air bubbles'," according to Engadget. A more spectacular alleged problem was the so-called "Master of the Flying UMD Guillotine Trick." According to reports--one of which even featured video evidence--if you twist the PSP a certain way, the UMD drive opens, causing the disc to come flying out like a throwing star. Luckily, GameSpot can address both these rumors head on. While in Japan last weekend, GameSpot editors did observe some PSPs with dead pixels, but did not see any evidence of the other defects. As to the flying-disc glitch, we were brave enough to use one of our precious PSP units to test the theory. Amazingly, with just the right touch, out it popped.

Looks like Sony are true to form.
 
Wow, I avoid this thread for a few days, and this is what I have to work with?

Anyway, to Lucifer, we'll always expect for a few systems to have defects. That article didn't specify any ratio, nor does it say if a warrenty can cover for those problems. Until more information is obtained then the majority of those problems are just rumors, as stated in the article itself.

And for the 'twist the PSP problem', they had to have 'just the right touch'. And who knows how many times they tried to do it while abusing that poor handheld :P
Why the heck would you spend your time twisting it anyway?

It is still a shame that all of those problems might be true, but 'might' only goes so far.
 
Why can't sony make their Game Systems as good as their TV's or MP3 players? If the iPod were a game system *drools*

But Sony has had the horrendous rep of having poor hardware mileage. Now before 3 of you come in with the "I've had my playsation1 since it came out and it still works." Well, good for you. Tell that to the millions more of other kids with the complete opposite situation.

Though they are just rumors, and I'm not saying I believe them right away, they are rumors coming from the company with that rap sheet.
 
So the battery life is as I thought it'd be, pretty low. But I seriously doubt that this'll stop anyone from buying it. Most individuals will simply buy an adapter or whatnot, and shell out MORE money. >.<
 
Poor battery life is a big no-no for me. Most of the time I lose track of the time and end up playing handhelds for ages and ages. So a low battery life isn't going to work in my favour. I don't see why you should have to sacrifice screen brightness and sound to decrease battery usage either.

Saying that though, I'm a Final Fantasy junkie, so I'll be buying the PSP regardless.
 
As I expected, PSP has a low battery life, so that pretty much destroys my idea of DS emulation porting. That being said, I'm a Pokemon junkie, so I'll officially be getting the DS now.
 
Dakota,Sony has been successfully sued for Making their hardware break,so people had to buy more.
 
We'll just go with that,Tig.XD

But,no your question is relevent.

Sycther5,you belive IGN?Ever heard"You cant spell ignorant without IGN"?

IGN says that battery life is kinda weak, just as you are all saying. Which confuzzles the heck outta me with what you just said.
