owww the psp looks so sexy in that sleak black look, I love that colour. but the ds really doesnt do it for me. lol I sound really wierd now!
a lot of people go on looks when it comes to getting stuff and if they see these then the psp is gonna come out tops, it looks so much more sexy in a strange way and as though its from the future and very advanced...
But the DS doesnt do anything for the old *drools seductively down chest, I WANT that* spider sense.
and is it just me or does the psp look a lot like a cross between a game gear and those really really old lynx (I think that was its name) handheld thing.

She's right and all! I dredged up a retro magazine that had a picture of the lynx. I think you can still find it at Gamepro site. (Sorry, forgot the address!)

Lol I'm sure each machine has it's pros and cons, and they'll become more apparent when both are out worldwide and have been there for a while

Okay, Listen.
I will be Honest here...
Design- I like the Ds's design better than the PSP's. It's Sleek, cool, and stylish.The PSP is cool too, but...
Graphics-The PSP definitaly wins here. A portable 128-Bit system, As opposed to the 80-bit DS.
Features-DS all the way. Yes, they both have wireless, yes, they both go over the 'net, but the PSP has NO backwards compatibility at all, the DS can play GBA games as well as the new DS games, The DS has two screens, which will open the door for more oppertunities.(maps, alternate camera angles,etc.) The DS also has a mike(Portable Kareoke Revolution,anyone?) and everyone likes the touch screen,right?
Portability- DS. It is a tad smaller than the PSP.
Accesories- TIE! We don't know the future, so...
Games-DS. Reason: while the PSP will probably have games geared twords older gamers, the DS has a broader age area.
Overall- The DS has way more pros than cons, while the PSP doesn't.
There you go...

lol I have to disagree here with the analysis of the two systems. Design- I like the Ds's design better than the PSP's. It's Sleek, cool, and stylish.The PSP is cool too, but... lol your kidding right? the DS looks like a huge grey depressing brick! *shruggs sexilly.* cant argue with the official tech specs yes it has more features but so what? look at mobile phones, they all look attractive with cameras and picture messages but who really uses them all the time? remember that one which could play games? look at it now, its dead, when it comes to things like this it all boils down to 2 things that makes it or breaks it 1: does it play games. 2: can you play over the net? if both the answer is yes then it'll sell, its not wise to say that something with a lot of features will do well when as history has shown when it comes to handhelds they dont, there was a while ago a handheld that had a touch screen and cost something like £150 and could go on the net and could play games too and it was dead 6 months after it came out, last I saw it P&Q ferries were flogging them for £30 in the duty free shop! But you make an interesting point with the ackwards compatability but lets look at it this way. Most people have a gba now, the benefits of it is that you dont need batteries to play it. Nobody will get a ds because there are gba and other gameboy games that can play on it, how many of us who own a ps2 play their old psx games on it? and how many of us buy old psx games because our ps2's can play them? lol not many I imagine, I've never met anyone who has, come to think of it I havnt baught a gameboy colour or original gameboy game to play on my gba even though theres a lot of great ones out there. lets face it as good as backward compatability is, not many people fully take advantage of it nor do they use it fully when they have it lol crazy huh? Yes a tad smaller when closed... but lets face is both fit in your hand so lets not dwell on the size it really wont make any difference will it both are almost identicle. what accesories can there be other then the usual, headphones, carry case, car adaptor maybe the ds will get a pointer pen thingy. but thats it! As you said nobody can predict the future and there cant be more adult games on a handheld because the screens are too small. the more complex and adult the game the larger screen needed to play it sucessfully. its highly likely that they both will have the same age range. Not really the DS has a lot of nice things yes but it doesnt make a handheld, even though it has more features if you look at phones the ones with tons of features dont do well and old handhelds which try to be more than a simple games thingy die after the first quater of the year. fact is we cant have things like this until they all come out and we have played on them. everyone said that the gamecube would be the best console when it came out because of its small size and its small disks but look at it, its going to be the first of the 3 consoles to die easilly, and xbox was said to bury the ps2 but look at the ps2 its still outselling xbox. now consider this, most people will look at both the psp and ds and think this.. "Ok one is made by nintendo which last computer wasnt so great, the other is made by sony who have made 2 amazing consoles. what shall I buy?" but me Im going for niether, if you look at them both you'll realise quickly that they are both a waste of money and are both likely to die within a year of their release.

Um... so why did you say that the PSP was better all those times if you're just gonna end with this? and about the grey depressing brick thing, We all have different opinions. Don't attack others just because you dissagree

Don't attack others just because you dissagree lol im going to end with that because if you look at it the psp is better but I think that they'll both die shortly after their release, so Im not going to waste my money. Also im not attacking your view, to me it looks like a grey brick with a few holes in for sound to pass through, much like I said earlier the psp looks like a lynx handheld. its not an attack merely a firery passionate (like me right now) discussion.

remember that one which could play games? What you talking about? The N-Gage ain't dead! It has a new one coming out. 1: does it play games. 2: can you play over the net? if both the answer is yes then it'll sell, -that contradicts your thing about the N-Gage ds will get a pointer pen thingy - The stylus comes with it, you get two of them. As you said nobody can predict the future and there cant be more adult games on a handheld because the screens are too small. the more complex and adult the game the larger screen needed to play it sucessfully. its highly likely that they both will have the same age range. -How does the screen size have any infulence of that sorta thing? They have plenty of room. What is this about the DS being 80 bit? I'm sure by some binary laws that cannot be.

I can't comment on either, since I doubt I buy any of them (To tell you the truth, they both sound like glorified Game Boys to me). But, Gizmo, not to condradict or anything, but where do you base all that information on the PSP? Is it confirmed?

Look, Gizmo, why not just accept that the DS has some good points will you? I agree that the PSP has more graphics power, but that the DS is made by Nintendo, the best developers working today. (that's a fact, not an opinion) Being such a narrow-minded fanboy will get you nowhere. Oh, and as for Stuntman15, why the hell do you assume that I called you a dork? I didn't even imply such.

Will you STOP calling everyone a fanboy! Ooh, Madhair's a Chris fanboy, eugh Gizmo's a fanboy (oh yeah, and she's a girl by the way). She's not arguing or neing blunt, she's just saying something she thinks may be true, nothing to do with which one is better to play with - just which's the most powerful.
Get a grip, Omnion. Where did you get this 'fact' from?

So can you stop being this DS fanboy that calls anyone who disagress with you a fan boy even though their reproductive organs make it impossible for them to be a fanboy.

"Madhair's a Chris Fanboy" Where the [censored] did that come from? First thing's first - Omnion, shut up. Secondly, the next person to use the words "Fanboy" or "Fangirl" in this topic is banned.

You know, I kind of hate it when everyone gangs up on me ALL the time because *I hate sony *I use the word fanboy a lot because it's true and I like it Nintendo ARE the best currently, and it isn't opinion because I don't even like them that much. Gizmo, give it a rest. Arch, PLEASE stop being so nippy. As for me, I'm officially finished with this topic. Adios, kids.
