Besides, the DS has extras coming out that match most of them, anyways. Play-Yan = mp3 and video functionality on SD cards, and is announced for the US. And I don't need to surf the web with my DS. I have a computer for that. And what function could that serve for games?

Anyways, soon the extra features of the PSP will be moot because of Play-Yan, and everything will be based solely on the game libraries that come out for them. In my opinion, the DS's upcoming library looks more promising, but then we're getting into opinion.[/quote]
I find listening to music and watching musics useful actually even though it has no relation to games. Sure its a game console but what harm is done by having all these great extra features? Play yan costs, psp has it built in. For now psp has something the ds doesn't whether or not it has to do with games. The DS doesn't have firmware updates either which may have an effect on your gaming eg downloading say weapons or items for a game from the internet.

Aside from the built in features that don't have any relation to gaming, the hardware of the psp is considerably better than the ds's.

But I agree with you, only until things like the play yan and the upcoming games for both consoles come out can we argue about them.
