Sir or Hun, most people here dont bash the PSP. re read most of the posts, they state good qualities of both handhelds and alot of the people own both or want both eventually. You seem to be the only one ranting and raveing, while one or two lunitics join you. You must be a nice person on the other side, but you are acting a bit to overzealous over this whole VS thing. Put it aside and join the fun.

As everyone has said, the PSP and DS are aimed at different market areas.

The DS will see Nintendo continue their trend of releasing quirky handheld titles and re-releases of old Nintendo classics. This has, and always will be, their way ... and there's nothing wrong with that. The touch screen will bring new innovations to the handheld gaming market, but PSP is aimed at reinventing Portable Entertainment, which goes way beyond handheld gaming.

SCEA's CEO said at CES that the PSP "will take portable entertainment out of the handheld gaming ghetto", and I believe that Sony will achieve this. A typical customer who buys the DS will most likely have a background of owning Nintendo consoles and very likely, one of the various GameBoys. The main extent of it's use will be to play titles like Metroid, Mario 64, Mario Kart, Zelda, etc but with added "quirks" using the touchscreen.

PSP, on the other hand, appeals to a more mature demographic. I travel a lot with my work, so the night before I'm due to travel I put a movie on my PSP's Memory Stick Duo, let's say one of my favourite movies, Kill Bill. I also put the new Stereophonics album on there in the form of MP3's, and put some photos of my family, friends, and pet on there too. In the morning, I pick up my PSP, my back-up battery (fully charged), and three UMD's ... let's say, Need for Speed Underground Rivals, Lumines, and Tiger Woods 2005.

For my trip, on one device, I have three PS2 quality software titles, the new album by my favourite band, one of my favourite movies, and photos of my family & friends.

No disrespect to the DS, it's a good handheld games machine, but people who want/buy PSP, are looking for that extra bit more ... they're looking for the best in Portable Entertainment.

If I was to take a DS on a business trip, what would I have to keep me going? Mario 64, Metroid, and ..... nothing.

There in, lies the difference.

PSP is portable entertainment,
DS is simple handheld gaming.

Agreed. He's one of these people who will not buy a PSP, because unlike a proper gamer, he is a fanboy. People like my buy both. I don't care who makes it, I want them to play games. The PSP does more than the DS, which gives it the edge, and personally, I don't like any DS games so far. But I don't bash it, there's probably going to be good games in the future. Instead of being an idiotic one sided fanboy who does no good for the gaming industry, get both consoles and buy lots games and movies (movies on PSP only of course).

Plus, the graphics on the DS aren't horrible, just not PSP quality. A side note is that the DS runs at 60 Frames per Second while the PSP runs at 30 Frames per Second, which means the DS looks better while in motion, while the PSP does not look as good as the screenshots show. Please do not flame or lock this. I'm only defending a system a lot of fanboys are bashing when they know nothing about it.

I laugh when I hear people say that graphics aren't important. Of course they are. If graphics aren't important then we would all be discussing the Atari or Telstar.

I'm not bashing the DS but two small screens is absurd. The PSP got it right by making one large screen. Also IMO the DS is for the under 10 crowd. Just look at the games for the DS. Very childish. Again IMO I would be ashamed to use the DS in public.

I like coffee with caffeine cos its good. Decaff is ok when I dont have normal coffee. Otherwise, normal coffee is what I like drinking.

The DS is the decaff
Te PSP is the real coffee

The DS is the cheesburger, with no mean.
The PSP is double cheeseburger, with 2 beef patties.

The DS is the sex
The PSP is the ORGASM

Yup thats all I have to say for this post!
I hope DSCuber doesnt get too mad, but the things is, I prefer the PSP to the DS (no ****)...
