I think the psp looks better then the ds. And i think the dual screen is a pretty useless gimic. The ability to search for players is good tho. but psp has better graphics, the ability to watch movies, play mp3's, and use wireless internet makes it the beter handheld. Its like carrying a ps2 with extra stuff in my pocket.

[Metal_Ken]

Can psp play dvds.

[EvilAkuma]

Can psp play dvds.
Nope, cuz these disc are smaller then the orignal

[Saijin_Ryu]

No no no... not after you watched the E3 preview of the DS...
but i would probably be steering towards the psp if i only saw that preview..

but the Ds looks amazingly... amazing.

No DS is ugly and that the truth. PSP is way better

[Orlando0]

I dunno, they're both pretty good. I'm thinking of getting a DS thought. Chat option, Search for other players...

[alamgir]

Yeh but there the only other features outside gameplay. PSP can do loads of things and with wireless internet you can chat too. Also they're making dvds on UMD's i think for psp.

[JusBlaze]

Squaresoft and Sony think they are slick. With this PSP being able to play movies one of the greatest movie to be planed on bieng avliable when it is relesed. Is the moive Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. Theses all sounds good but one thing we all want to know and that is.

<span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>HOW MUCH?</span> I mean is it worth the price of dumping in cash for the moives? Or just go for the games, also how much would those run?

[Virtual Fighter]

PSP can suck my balls. the whole concept of a portable playstation is retarded. can it play DVD's? no, but i bet you'll still be paying for it.

here is something yo retards dot know:
the PSP doesnt have a headphone jack.
wtf? so we cant really listen to our MP3s? nope, only out of that poopty speaker, so what is the mp3 capability usleful for? fliping nothing.

also, it uses 3 batteries. that'll end up costing you an abverae of $299+- in a year. 300 fliping dollers? its not worth it.

also, the PSP will tart at about $500, and it'll have a small game selection, where as the DS will come with an already installed 500+ game selection ANd it'll cost hundreds less than the PSP.

the extra screan IS usfull, VERY usefull, ive seen many videos in E3 (i went)

the DS meats every usefull function the PSP has, and has even more.

and, did i mention it costs less?

flip the PSP, let roaalty own all!

[DSP_D-A-T_PLAYA]

vf do yo ukno anything about the grafics for psp????
i saw it in a magazine but i thought it was too good to be true........ will it really look like a ps2?........

[Virtual Fighter]

flip no the gfx arnt as good as PS2, the screen is damn small, you can see every pixel for god sakes.

plus, gfx isnt anything if you dont have the gameplay and story line to back it up.

[Shin_ryu]

ds has mario 64 x4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JusBlaze]

look at it like this, would u rather play Metal gear solid or a Mario Kart game? Not bash Nintendo but Zelda,Mario and pokemon and all that was ok to play when I was a kid but when u get older those games are just kidde. I would rather be seen playing MGS or Dynasty Warriors then playing some cartoony game that kids enjoy. Nintendo has small numbers of great fighting and gun games. Im sorry but, Super smash bros and Metriod Prime aint enough for me.

[coolkilla]

lol yeah the psp is small as hell its smaller then a gameboy advance...lol and i can barely hold one of them..

[Virtual Fighter]

First person shoters on handhelds SUCK. they just do, if its not on the big screen, ont bother playing it.

the only games good on handhelds are:
racing games (MK still owns every racing game)
sidescrollers

thats it. oh, and puzzlegames, but you know.. =/
we dont know if the PSP will turn out good. we DO know the DS will come out good. why? because nintendo has delivered time after time flawless handhelds.

compared to sony's grand total of 0.

more people are gonna buy psp because it has better games...=/ that nba street on there look sweet as hell and the handheld has all the same buttons as ps2 except it only has 2 shoulder buttons..so id like to play psp more but i aint paying for that poop 500 dollars lol for a handheld my ass..And wasnt the psx supposed to come out this year?

[Razz]

You know what I think? I think people have opinions and you can't convince them otherwise with information they already know about.
I'm totally getting a PSP. Why? Because of the games. I don't give a rip aboot all the specs. I just want some good games, and I know that Sony's gonna deliver.

psp is sorry man if youwatch g4tv psp only got 37 percnt of votes and nintendo ds got 67 percent nintendo ownz

[Razz]

So, you'd buy a DS just 'cause that's what most other people are doing?

lol he is a dumbass then...The games are way better on psp it already has some ps2 games and the graphics are better i would buy the psp hell my lil sister likes handheld games my parents would buy her a ds and ill play it =) also to view pictures of these 2 handhelds go to the first page and follow these easy steps

2.)next replace all percent 20's with underscores..
3.)just hit go or enter and youll be able to see the pics..the psp pic sucks tho..

[alamgir]

DS does not have wreless internet featured or graphics. The graphics of psp go beyond ps2 a quote from the creator. It has usb exterior connections to connect with several devices. You can play other players online like DS. DVDs are being made in UMDs so you can waach dvds on psp you cant play mp3s on ds. Theres ia actually a headphone conector. And loads of games are to be released on it like MGS acid, Death JR, Gran Turismo 4 and others. The only good thing about ds is the chat and searching for other players. First person shooters suck on handhelds? Have u ever seen a fully 3d fist person shooter on a hand held. Plus most games on psp and ds are 3d. Ok nintendo is known for delivering great hand helds, but just cos sony hasnt made one yet dont mean u can say its poop. And $500? Are you nuts PS3 homestation isnt going to cost that much, in fact the actual PS3 games consol without any of the features of homestation apart from games and online gaming with all the graphics and stuff will cost les then $200 so expect the psp to cots slightly less . Anyway theres no point arguing which ones beter tho cos i'm buying em both.

[limbei]

well just cant wait gonna get it.....
so much cooler than the unportable sets.... :D

[EvilAkuma]

Well first of all VF, you haven't touch a PSP or play a game on a PSP. So you can't say it suck. Once it comes out your going to play. And hopefully you read my 1st post i did with all the information.

[VampireNinja]

DS has a voice recognition so like your in the menu and you say.. OPTIONS and it rtakes you to the options..

And... Chat enabled..Keyboard enabled...Internet enabled...And touch screen!!!

Come on...That totally Pwnhhazerzzz..

[EvilAkuma]

I will find info on DS and well compare it to PSP

[coolkilla]

Even tho i like the way the ds looks and it is bigger...The psp is way better because the graphics,games,and the wireless internet connection...Ps3 is gonna be like that where you dont need wires to be online..Because the PS3s are linked together..And altogether sony has just always made better systems then nintendo in my opinion...

[Virtual Fighter]

*cough* just wait for him to come back with a link to http://www.omfgsuperbiasedprosonywebsite.com XD

and yes, ive seen a psp and seen it in action, it sucks ass.

omg, i can play DVDs. are you really gonna sit there, and look at the fliping 500 x 600 screen for 1-3 hours? flip no, that option is totally usless. are you gonna use it? no, but you're still paying for it.

the MP3 option has already been rendered usless by the fact that it doesnt have a head phonejack.

do you really want everyone around you listening to the same crackly song couming out of the small poopty psp speaker? flip no, bu you're still paying for it.

The psp's gfx migh supposidly be better than ps2, fine. but are you really gonna notice the pixle x pixle difference if the screen is a 4x3? flip no, but you're still paying for it.

every game ps2 had was meant for a big screan. the 1rst person shooters all need big screen for you to recognize small items, or even get head shots. its all about your eyes.
do you want to be shooting at a pixle on the screen cuz you think its a head of an enemy sodielr? flip no, but you're still paying for it.

Rpgs? i hope you're talking about heads up side scrolling rpgs here, because its been proven, by 3rd person shooting gmaes + rpgs that those types of RPG's suck.

lets face it, sony has a sorry habit of making all of their games for only wide screan abilities. they've got to realize that not everything can work on a 4x3.

you might think: PSP = PS2 but portable.

but no, its not, its a shoddy copy of the PS2 in 4x3 screen size.

you might think you're gonna get a PS2, you're not, but you sure as hell are paying for it.

[EvilAkuma]

Maybe because ur parent told you "NO we will not buy u one" ur over there mad. I can go with my PSP and watch a movie when i'm bored at a party or on a road trip. How many of ya want to play 2d on the road. I perfer to play 3d then 2d cuz gameboy games are kind of boring so i perfer the PSP. NOw with the DS, man games from nintendo are boring. Some of them but they all have same games from old times

Yeah the ds games are not that great they are just re-newed versions of old nintendo games..I dont even think the psp is finished yet..The ds is but I dont know about the psp....They might still be making some modifications...Who cares about the dvds or mp3s I have a cd walkman why do I need those mp3s...The games are just way better..Who says they are only gonna make shooting games and rpgs...An rpg wont be too bad on there...And the sony might do what nintendo did with the gameboy advance(came out with the gameboy sp)And modify the screen and stuff..

[PSYCHO]

poop i thought u were talkin bout pcp :(

[alamgir]

It does have a freakin headphone connector, and i would watch a movie on it, heck why does such a thing as a portable tv exist?

It has many more featured then just a hand held gaming console. Plus Ds has very few features other then the gaming, and is also graphically inferior to the PSP. And as for the games i'll rather play GT 4 then some cute racing game involving mario.

[Virtual Fighter]

It does have a freakin headphone
prove it. gimmie some pics.

all you people are like "omfg, a dvd player".

do you know how small the screen is? its freakin 4 inches by 3 inches (esamete). even a protable DVD's screan is larger than that, and watching it on those SUCKS. the DVD option is USLESS.

you people are WAY over implifying it. you just think PS2 = PSP but better XD. WRONG. the main reason the PSP sucks is because of sony's inexperience with portables, and their non-portable format games. ive SEEN the screens fo the PSP, they're terrible. they try to fit everything a normal screan (ps2) would have, in a 4x3. thats insane. i saw a screan from gt4, the car was freaking ______ biG!

were as nintendo has already mastered portable gaming.
the psp is just adding usless crap to make the consumer THINK its a more money saving deal, when in fact its a bunch of old technology crammed into a small space.

what does that equal? BAD.


oh, and EvilAkuma, flip you! ive had to work for everything ive got, unlike some people. *cough*imagetboth,imaspoiledbrat*cough*

the DS wil just have reideration games? wrong, new game, new titles, same awsome. yes, it will have clasic awsome games like mario, mario kart, zelda and metroid, but it will also have new games that would only be possible with dual screans.

The psp will have new games? the only games YOU people have been talking about is A "NEW" GTA game, and a "NEW" metalgear game.

wow, why the contrediction? is it because you cant tell your ass frmo your face?
(lmfao, "bored at a party" oh yes, so when you're bored at a party, ofcourse bust out your portable and watch a 2 hour movie using a crappy speaker and small 4x3 inch screan! if you're getting bored at a party, and result to using your PSP for entertainment, i pity you)

The PSP sux? Your judging it before it even came out? And i'm not just getting it for the games console, i'm getting it for the features it offers such as mp3s, wireless internet, online gameplay, and the dvds however big the scren is. I dont care how small it the screen is. And there you go on and about the games,Tony Hawk, Tiger Woods, Need for Speed, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, sp
