Who cares about graphics? I care. IF we no one cares about graphics then why did why buy the DS? Why aren't we playing on GBA's, or N64's instead of Gamecubes? IF graphics weren't an issue than why are Nintendo making 3d games for the DS?

three problems with that.
1. you were probably one of the ps1 fanboys who played it while the n64 had much better graphics'
2. you just compared the n64 to ther gamecube which are completely different.
3. i still do play my n64, and i will be with my revolution eventually too. i don't play games for the graphics, i play them for a game thats fun.

Some people might like the idea. But the main thing about the UMD is that it holds the games. 1.8gb of data can be stored allowing bigger and better games as more content can be stored.

did you just ignore all of vf's post right there, you justified making movies that are more expensive to buy that lose sound quality and video quality and can only be shown on a tiny little screen by saying that they hold more space?
who give a flying flip about the space if you are limited to how you can use.

I can tell you I am quite happy with the mp3 playback on my PSP. I enjoy listening to music, what does intuition have to do with anything. Man I wonder if the DS had all this functionality what you would be saying. None of it is neccessary for a games machine but what harm is done with these extra features.

harm eh?
1. costs more becase of it.
2. increases the possibility for something to flip up.
3. it's just plain better to burn your mp3s to a cd that costs less than a dollars and read it on a cd player that costs 20 dollars.

Err well you can communicate with psp, in fact I even know how to actually video chat with it, which is more than I can say for the DS. Oh yeah I guess thats another thing the apparently usless USB connectivity can offer. You can also surf the internet with the PSP and download a variety of things. Can the DS do that? No.

why would you want to sit at home right next to your computor and surf the internet with your psp, which can't be that easy because it only has a analog stick, when you could just use the fliping computor your psp is attached to?

Likewise you can also sit at home , turn your games console on and play games with friends there on a big screen with surround sound too. So why buy a DS or a PSP especially with DS's two smaller more pixelated screens which don't even look capable of 3d games most of the time?

portable gaming system were made to be played portable, which many of the psps's features can't. the DS however was completely made for gaming on the go. the PSP (that is playstation portable) is not even easy to carry around without fear of scratching or dropping the huge ass window to uselessness on the ground.

In my opinion the games for PSP are better than the games than the games on the DS, review scores also prove this.

the psp is just a system for sony to port all of their games to, so they make double the money.

When, you kind of have a digital camera in your house. You take a picture, transfer it to your psp using that "useless" USB connectivity and use wifi to send it to a friend.

or you could take a picture transfer it to your computor and host it on photo bucket for everyone to see.

Price isn't really an issue here for me. The DS is a weaker console. The PSP costs more but does more.

the psp costs more for useless poop as i have completely said in the paragraphs above

I'm sorry but when I play games i'd usually rather drive a car then a cart, shoot, stab, punch, kick or blow up an enemy then jump on them and save the world from a nuclear holocaust then save a princess who gets kidnapped a lot. The games in my opinion are better.

ok good for you, i hardly see what that has to do with anything at all

The screen of the PSP is much bigger and brighter than any of the nintendo ds's screens. I'd rather see 16.77 million colours than 260 000.

at least the DS can keep all of their colors running longer, and without dead pixels.

With the PSP USB connectivity I can download updates giving me access to new software, while all anyone will ever be able to do with a DS other than play games is talking with people and drawing funny shapes with a digital crayon (get what I mean by kiddy?).

again you could just use the computor that yoiu are using right now to do the exact same thing but without limitations. and the DS is an artists dream, my frend who wasn't a fan of nintendo got it for the sole purpose of the stylus. thus i received messages with high quality pictures drawn onto them in the middle of math class almost everyday, which invokes a competitive game of mario between the four people with a DS (well five, but flip that other kid)

You don't have to wath UMD movies. You can easily d/l any sort of movie to your psp from pc. So you can go outside and sit in a park and enjoy in the summer breeze.

yes you can download a pirated version of a movie on the internet, then change it into mpeg-4 format, than delete everything on your memory stick, then go enjoy that rainy day of yours...

I just think the PSP's better than the DS simply because it offers more and mainly because I like the games list.

the thing to do here would be lineup both future game lists and proove that the DS is better, but i'm sure that's been done several times.
