 DS is Shiny. I don't know about PSP...

[~>John<~]

 PSP is very shiny. The graphics beat ds any day of the week, and with the psp being able to hold music/ play movies/ hold pictures/ play games, it wins. This from a person who has every gameboy type out

 The PSP cannot play PS2 games, cannot play DVDs, cannot play conventional music. Its graphics are not better than Super Mario 64 DS, which is the only game so for which has truly utilized its abilities. And, the touch screen makes it have superior gameplay to the PSP. DS for $180 (including game) or PSP for $400 WITHOUT game, music, or movie? Sorry, but I'm not into spending $1000 dollars on a system inferior to a PS2, Gamecube, or XBox (all of which are 1/2 - 1/4 the cost). And the PSP does not have the great games lined up that the DS has. Animal Crossing, Advanced Wars, Castlevania, more Mario games, Metroid, etc. PSP has sports games. Woohoo.

 PSP isn't 400.. its 250, if I read an article right. And sports games are better than animal crossing, metroid, etc.

On the subject of sports games, I recomend FIFA Soccer 2005. Great game, I have it on Gamecube and GBA SP.

 There's probably going to be a Zelda game for DS. Which is a very good thing. ^_^ Plus Pok?mon, too.

 actually I've got wipe out pure, ridge racer, spiderman2 [movie] nfl street 2, lost legends [good game] and soccer.....touch screen really is a diversion that has some downs and ups, its about the same, but I'd pick psp anyday......and have you SEEN the graphics? Like seriously they're insane.....and duh if it just comes out their arent a ton of games, more are coming out obviously

[RazorClaw]

 None of the named DS games have come out yet. I have heard of no "awesome" games coming out in the future for PSP.  

[~>John<~]

 all the games I said were PSP. and lost legends is already awesome, great game.

[RazorClaw]

 UNTOLD Legends is a fair game which 1) is not as good of a hack and slash as Prince of Persia, LOTR, or countless other console titles, and 2) is not as good of an RPG as about 60 different games I could mention for GBA, not even going into Gamecube. And it is not worth $250.  

[~>John<~]

 lost legends isnt 250. If you are referring to PSP, yes, it is.

[RazorClaw]

 I meant that one good game that is not available on other consoles is not worth $300 (PSP + game price). Whatever.

 Direct quote from NEWSWEEK magazine.. "And the computer chip which runs the PSP produces PS2-quality-graphics, far outstripping its rival, the Nintendo DS."

Direct word-for-word.


Lumines is good, ridge racer is good, untold legends is good, wipeout pure is good. Most of the first games released are awesome

[RazorClaw]

 PS2 quality graphics? Bullcrap. I've seen the PSP games. They are no better than Super Mario 64 DS or Rayman DS, and lack the touch gameplay. And it also costs $100 dollars more than a DS, and it costs $75 more than an X-BOX!  

[~>John<~]

 you've seen? How bout played? Cause I've got nfl street in front of me right now and its looking just like the ps2 version my brothers playing.

And thats not just me, NEWSWEEK fricking magazine

[RazorClaw]

 OMFG, NEWSWEEK? Let me bow down before the awesome capabilites of the PSP! PS2 quality must be worse than it looked in MVP Baseball. Now, let me hobble over to Newsweek to evaluate my hockey pads, too.
