DS Vs. PSP - Respawned

[DayleJ]

I know this has been made before but since the one title has now been launched and the other soon, i just wanted to know which one people believe is the better of the two now. At first i backed the DS, simply because Nintendo was behind it and those guys rule when it came to handhelds or use to! I now believe the PSP to be much, much better...and so i havn't purchased a DS i'm waitin for the PSP though its gonna cost about £80 more it's worth the extra cash.....the Gizmondo i can't see catchin on as much, but who knows...

[~Felly~]

I would have to say the PS2 Portable. Its Sony's first handheld and it looks great. It sounds great. The DS is good but not good enough. Its the thought that counts. I think. Anyway,Sony needs some ideas. I think. Sony's PS2 Portable could also have better production than Nintendo's DS. Thats all for now. If I have more,i'll add it.

The key difference is that the PSP can also be used as a media centre for playin mp3s and dvds .etc along with playin games which is really the only basic function of the DS apart from emailin.

Didnt know that.. whats the storage space..?

[DayleJ]

that would all depend on the size of the media stick you buy for it ;) lol

[~Felly~]

I'd still have to say PSP is better. In a friendly way. Oh! Another thing,your DS might have DEAD PIXELS! It said so in a thread. Having dead pixels isn't good.

[DayleJ]

So does the PSP.....have to see if Sony are as good as Nintendo in repairing them.

The PSP is better, what with MP3s, DVDs, there's just more features on the PSP. The touchscreen on the DS is cool, but have they really made new ground with this? "A touchscreen. Wow, so there's something to poke while you're playing your games. So, what else does the DS do?....Oh. I see." *Boy throws DS out of the window and buys a PSP.* :P

[inter]

voice activation is another one and i read the nintendo wil be releasing an extra component to play mp3's and stuff

[Some1]

dang...i got a DS and now i cant get a PSP for a while but i have to say tie both companys are doing great. :-)

Daylej post the link of that PSP review u linked up....i read it all must say psp will kick nintendo's ass!!

[Some1]

well both DS and PSP will have good things and bad things hopefully all good things. :-)

[JoshC]

na psp all the way man!! its better already and its the first one sony have ever brought out and this is like the 7th handheld console nintendo have brought out...speaking of ds's a boy in my school's got nicked from his bag....terrible!

[~Felly~]

^What he said.

[JoshC]

who me or some-1?

[~Felly~]

You. I still say the PSP. Nintendo sucks! No offence. I mean they suck in a good way.

[Laguna Loire]

At the moment, it is obvious that the PSP is winning over the DS...However, I can only see one flaw with the PSP. The price!!! Although it's going to be the most powerful hand-held on the face of the Earth, it's gonna cost a ton. At least £150+ here in the UK I think, and the DS is £100 over here...Yes, the PSP has some awesome features, but how many people are actually gonna buy one with a huge price tag? I'm not...I don't really like hand-helds anyway...

[Some1]

well the DS is for younger kids and the PSP is for older kids. so most older kids get moeny so i think sonys going to get a lot of of moeny. but you never know the DS could come back. witch isnt likely to happen.

[DayleJ]

well i shall be gettin a PSP...price tag isn't puttin me off seein as what it can do

oh yeh info ALERT!!!DS IS RELEASING MP3 AND DVD PLAYABLE ATTACHMENT CALLED PLAY YAN!!!!

[inter]

i said that already

[DayleJ]

^ lol


Yeah and they are attachments!!! meaning if you wanted to use them on the move you would hav to carry them around with you, and attach them on making your handheld even bigger and lookin stupid...

And look at it like this:
PSP (That Does All) = £180
DS + All The MP3 + DVD Attachments = £180+

[inter]

How much do these attachments cost?

[TK 421]

the aussie play yan is like $160

[inter]

well the it is $450au (psp) to $360au (DS with play yan), still a hundred dollers difference and they will probably have some package for less.
