DS or PSP?
What would you rather have,a DS or PSP?
I would like to have a PSP because it looks better,it's smaller and probably lighter plus it has better games and for other reasons. ![]() ![]() |

The DS is pretty tiny. If the PSP is smaller, it must be the size of a wrist watch or something.

Also, there is a reason that the Gameboy has dominated the market for so long, despite many of its competitors being betters systems (eg. the Wonderswan).
Think about it... |

I haven't even touched a PSP yet, so I can't make a final decision

I have played a PSP, and I have a DS, they both have their merits. The DS is original, and the addition of the touch screen will add a lot to games. The PSP is very pretty, amazing graphics, and it looks much more sleaker and new than the DS. But the the disc tray for the PSP looks incredibly flimsy, and it worries me. Once I get a PSP i'll be able to decide which I like better, until then, it's too close to tell.

The PSP is too ahead of its time, the battery life and power of the system (such as if it will suffer slowdown when there's a lot on the screen) will be a big factor.
DS wins. |

The DS (to me) seems just like this not-as-important side project of Nintendo's while the PSP seems like something that could be bigger and better. If all these rumors about Nintendo bringing out another handheld gaming system sometime soon are true, the DS will lose a bit of its flame. They are still both quite amazing though.

Although the DS has it's name going for it, I'd have to go with the PSP. I could really care less about a second screen and the PSP just looks beautiful.

I have a DS and love it. I want a handheld that focuses on games, not movies/mp3's/alltheotherbollocksthePSPhas.
So, I choose the DS. |

I've not played a PSP or even seen much about it, but I had a quick go on a DS and it seemed fun. It was only a demo of Wario Ware though, hard to get a good overall of it. Touch screen and stylus seemed to work well though. |

Picked up my copy of Wario Ware Touched! last night, and it's awesome. Can't see anything on the PSP being this original and fun.

It's not. Some people are just scared that Sony will actually give Nintendo a run for it's money now like they did with the PlayStation. This is good for the gaming industry as a whole, people are just looking at it through fanboy perspectives.

You can't deny the PSP is potentially flawed though. Just have to wait and see if it delivers in the end...
Also, I didn't even know the GBA was backward compatible with GBA games until around 5 minutes ago. ![]() |

The disc tray is pretty flimsy, it's very shiny, so it will pick up fingerprints like nothing, and, as the square button is so close to the screen, they had to offset the pressure pad for it to the right, so it can be a bit unresponsive. |

Not to mention the fact I've seen questions raised over how fast it guzzles the batteries.

So far, the DS has had far more play, but the PSP only has a couple of hot games so far in Ridge Racer and Lumines and the only game I'm looking forward to is Wipeout.
As for the DS, been playing Wario Ware, Mario 64 and Project Rub. So far I've loved them all and I just can't wait until Animal Crossing online and Mario Kart online. If you havn't seen it yet, DS will be online as long as you're in any wi-fi hot-spot area. How hot is that? PSP online plans havn't been fully revealed yet, but there already is tunnel software for any multi-player game to be played through a wi-fi PC |

Also, adding on the sqaure button problem, I was reading an article in a games mag a few weeks ago, and some guy from Sony said that players and developers would have to adapt to the problem. I'm sorry, but bollocks to that, they expect us to pay for a system then adapt to one of it's flaws? It's really put me off getting one.
