I didnt quite get your post because of the bad grammar and yet i understood most of it... But the psp is the best becuz of the graphics, the large choice of games and of course the movies... its simply the best...

[pizzaman]

PSP is better, but I don't like the small buttons.

Me neither... but i guess i would get used to it...

[savking]

yerr my bros gt ds n i thought that they wer inavitve but the gamplay was wank. the psp has better games n more media to it so m psp all the way

[Basher_101]

wow, and i agree with you guys ^_^ i never played psp before (with games of course) but i think psp is way better, i think the ds sucks...

:D

[sk8ingrules04@aol.com]

I like the ds because it has more games that I enjoy playing and it's cheaper

[psilonaut]

I wouldn't want a PSP myself, too bulky. The DS are nice and tiny - the wireless NIC lets you have LAN parties on the spot. And it's fun to be able to send messages and doodles between friends. And that new Mario game *drools*

[Kurt]

The new mario game kicks *** and someone should make a thread about it.

The PSP is huge, bulky, and clumsy with good graphics but terrible battery life. And who the hell had ever heard of a "dead pixel" on a non-Game Gear system before the PSP came out?

Preach it brotha.

I'm waiting for one more referral at a freebie site before I have myself a DS :)
Can't wait.

DS RULES
The psp has 6hrs of battery life while the DS has 9hrs:)
The psp has only 1 screen the DS has 2;)
The psp costs 400$:eek:
The psp has more games and some are way better:(
In short the DS kills the psp:) :) :)

[FireBird301]

The DS is better than the psp by far.
Also there is a thread about the new Mario game somewhere on the site, I think.

[Amiro22]

Wow PSP is in the lead by one!!

[chaos master]

Wow PSP is in the lead by one!!
your point?

Actually..
1. psp battery life: varies depending on settings, max life is 8 hours on lowest setting which the screen is still plenty bright.
2. only 1 screen? how many screens do you want?!?
3. psp costs $200 for the core, $250 for the bundle. lol $400?, the heck did that come from..
4. Actually, games are great on both systems. DS probably has more though.

In short, ds does NOT kill the psp. Plus the psp can play movies and music and tons of homebrew app's. and features.

I mean if you like the ds over the psp, that's cool but saying that the ds kills the psp is a complete understatement.

[Kurt]

but saying that the ds kills the psp is a complete understatement.
Yeah, it is.

You also have to factor in the individual games for each system. My main issues with the PSP are that it's expensive, it's trying to replace my Ipod, and it's longest time of battery life is about 7 hours, especially if you use your PSP frequently.

If the PSP were the same price, however, I'd definately buy that. But I would also keep my DS, cause Mario Kart and Tetris DS rule online. ;)

[Mjshl2]

PSP is by far better. DS only recently got its first couple of awesome games(Metroid, New Super Mario), I pretty much dont care for puzzle oriented stuff and DS seems to have alot of that. And just to let you know, PSP wasnt the first with Dead Pixel problem. DS had the same problem with its first batch. I have a DS with a couple Dead Pixels. Doesnt bother me though. Dead Pixel is a very common problem with LCDs of any type.

[mem]

Both systems have their merits but I choose DS because I like handheld graphics and gameplay on a handheld system. If I want to play games with immersive 3D graphics, hear high-end sound, or watch movies, I'll play them on my TV or computer. Neither is really better... PSP can't perform DS functions and DS can't perform PSP functions. Neither system is being used to its full potential either.

[G0ldenEye]

The PSP is definatly better. DS you going down:mad3:

[Rivaan]

I prefer the DS to the PSP. For the media functions, I have a PC already which can play DVDs, play music, go online etc. For the games side, I have a PS2 already and don't need to play it on the go. But I can understand that for people that want the PS2 experience on the move a PSP is good. The types of games available on the PSP will ALWAYS be the same types as the games available for the PS2.

With the DS, there is always the possibility that they will utilise the touch-screen, and mic (and maybe more things available, not sure what they are) when creating new games for the system. Looking at the games that are out and the games that are coming out, I like the range and types. They aren't just gimmicks alone; some are really innovative while being fun to play.

I'm not saying the PSP is a bad console. It has great games and graphics and other things. It's just that I have what it offers already, in other systems. What I am really looking for is something "new" in terms of gameplay and that's what the DS delivers, I believe.

I don't have either, but it so happens that it's my bro's b-day today and he wanted one. So I bought him it. I typed this before I went to the shopt to get it, but now I'm finishing the post after I have it. It is still on charge, and I got the New Super Mario Bros. and Trauma Centre: Under the Knife. Let's see if I'm still singing the DS' praises after it's charged and I've played it :D

[Mantis]

DS is better IMO, because it is the only source for several nintendo games that you can't play on the psp/other consoles.

[Rivaan]

Whoops, I forgot to come back here :o Well I love my DS. So far, I have been happy with the games I've played on it. I'm looking forward to FF3, and also plan to import Tao's Adventure: Curse of the Demon Seal. Even my mum and sis like it. They are hooked on the New Super Mario Bros. minigames :D

[Panda]

I've got both, but I still prefer my PsP, for emulation purposes, Marvel vs Capcom and Zelda OoT while im at work.

PSPs can play N64 games?!

[Crazed Dragon]

PSPs can play N64 games?!I think he emulating them on his PSP

[pizzaman]

I think he emulating them on his PSP
Yes I know that, but I thought that PSPs could only go as far as SNES games.

[Crazed Dragon]

Yes I know that, but I thought that PSPs could only go as far as SNES games.well if you think about it, the PSP graphic as far as I now are way better than the N64s. so tkaing that into mind it shouldn't be to hard for someone who knows what there doing to make the PSP emu the N64

[chaos master]

PSPs can play N64 games?!
Yes, but I hear not too well.....or maybe now they're good.

there is nothing bulky about the psp. if anything, the old ds is bulkier than the psp. the psp has a LCD screen that would cost about 200 if it was on a handheld color tv.

you can look at pictures on the psp.

put movies on your psp.

put music on yuor psp.

nice big screen.

and good graphics.

AND FREE INTERNET!

and if you have the locationFree base for your psp, then it becomes a portable television.


but with the DS you get:

2 screens
picto-chat
backwards compatible with gba games
and...that's it

so have fun writing shapes and words to your friends while i surf the net and watch the matrix in hi-def.

the psp you seen must have been covered in diamonds because the psp only costs 250. 200 for the core pack and 300 for the giga pack. 400? i think not.

I have a DS I got it because I always have supported Nintendo, my GBA screen was scatch the **** up and was ****ing me off to use, and I likethe touch screen thing witch you also didnn't mention. you just said two screens. I don't have to many games for the DS yet(I think I have 6) but there are a few games coming out for it i want. to name one FF3.

wow this must be thee bigest poll here on CoolROM, alomost 30 votes, wow

[Panda]

You can do that with the PsP, through tunneling, I play monster hunter freedom all the time with a friend of mine that lives in New York.

[SPE_2007]

The PSP is Waaay superior 2 tha DS. The DS is A JOKE!! A JOKE!!

[FERGUS_MANERGUS]

PSP, DS sux, touching is not good, its gay..........oh and a dead pixel is a pixel that can only show one color, ive got one on my laptop and it wont go away

[chaos master]

Hmmm....if so many gamers in the world think like such, then how did the PSX outsell the N64? The PSX also had experimental CD technology (as in, it was uncommon for a console to use it back then), just like the DS has experimental mic, touch screen, dual screen, portable rumble pack, and game card technology (experimental being defined on the same note). The N64 had better graphics, less loading time, 4 controller support without extra equipment needed, and games could be saved directly to the cartridge (without an external memory device needed, but there was also controller paks for the games that did not support this method of saving, just like the PSX's memory card). Yet, the PSX had more storage space on the CD, and could play audio CD's, but in general, N64 was higher-powered, much like the PSP. So, how does that work? Or maybe I'm missing something or I'm suffering from extreme retardation......but it was worth a shot.

Or maybe I'm missing something or I'm suffering from extreme retardation......but it was worth a shot.I'm not going to get into the whole PS1 or N64 debate, which is long gone, but people bought the PSX because it had, and I quote, "really cool games". I'm pretty sure the specs of each console were somewhat equal. The N64 used cartridges, which were harder and more expensive to make and manufacture, especially compared to CDs.

I just can't find a single reason why anyone would want a PSP, apart from large brain tumors or a severe need for speed. Even the DS' bad games are pretty good. I just got Lost Magic for five dollars and it's not bad, considering the wi-fi multiplayer.

[Iceman]

Yes, ditto to you two.
The DS is a very new and refreshing change, kinda reminds me of when all those old consoles were just experimenting.
There's so many games I found fun with the DS...Mario, Zelda, Brain Age, Nintendogs and my favorite Tetris, excellent time-killer there...any-ho it's a great system with a cheap sticker price.

Like Kurt said, I don't want to get into the N64 and PS1 debate but when am reminiscing on old systems, the N64 just gets me more excited than the PS1.
Mainly because me, my friends and all my relatives would just go nuts when we heard Zelda and Mario were going in 3D. The PS1 was great but it was something I was unfamilar with.

[cherko]

I for one can't f**king understand why the PSX outsold the N64. The N64 had waaay better games of almost every genre (except RPG's)

Anyway, I vote DS even though I have never played it... Not the PSP either, but the PSP has lots of unneccessary functions which makes it a lot more expensive. I want a system which plays games, anything else is just stupid.

I would definitively get a DS if I could afford it, well I can afford it now but if I buy it I won't be able to afford a Wii. I've always supported Nintendo, always will. They've been there since the beginning, I think they know how to make good systems.

Legend of Dragoon was fun, too.

My predictions for the future: Nintendo, 2nd place; Sony, 3rd place (could fluctuate with clever PS3 marketing); Microsoft, 1st place. They always come out on top for some reason, and Nintendo is coming back up in the marketing department... mainly because of the DS, but we'll see how the Wii and PS3 do, saleswise.

hmm, i think its extreme retardation, sorry dude.....PS ONWN3S the n64 by a long shot

I even translated it into binary and read it back, but it still looks like a pointless waste of post space. I checked it for links, too, but there aren't any.

Maybe... the post I quoted? There's a link to it in my last post. See the blue-and-white arrow symbol? Click on that.

[Carlrt]

DS Are Consoles PSP are entertainment systems I prefer the DS's Because They Put More quality into the games people only like the psp cause you can play dvds and junk on it but when are you ever gonna get to watch a full movie on the bus? when you could just whip out a ds and play some fun minigames!

BTW MICROSOFT WILL NEVER WIN

[Kurt]

BTW MICROSOFT WILL NEVER WINI was inclined to think that when Gates left, but us prophets know it's inevitable. When's the last time Microsoft failed horribly at anything? I mean, they lost 400 million on the Xbox the first few years when it was out, but that's comparable to PS2 sales loss in Europe... believe me, the 360 will outshine the PS3 as much as the PS2 outshined the Xbox, if not four or five times more.

Even if I'm wrong, Microsoft will bounce back. They always do; coming out on top is what they're good at. Stupid Halo series...

[chaos master]

When's the last time Microsoft failed horribly at anything?
When they were showcasing Windows 98 and they got a blue screen of death. Well, at least it was funny.

Stupid Halo series...
OMG HALO 3 shall be thine roxx0rz! *drools* (shoot me now)

CARLRT is correct! I am not going to watch a movie when I have the option of playing a game.

Movies < games < World of Warcraft < any social activity that is not retarded
Portal > Halo 3... *fanboy*

I might buy a PSP with old firmware if I can find a good one on Ebay.

[Krusha-25]

Ok its time for the current scoreboard
Sony 1
Nintendo 1 (soon to be 3)
Any way im a nintendo fan always have been always wiil ( :sleep: )be :D

I was thinking about getting ROMs on my PSP, but I got a relatively new game with firmware updates and I figured I would like a web browser and stuff better......but now I'm not sure if I did the right thing.

You can downgrade your psp, there is a new 2.6 downgrader out, that lets you keep the web browser.

[Louii]

Cool do you have the link to it?
Wait whats the point on downgrading?
You can still play games SNES games without having to downgrade.

[Louii]

Oh by the way, I'd go for a PSP.
PSP was my first handheld system and what can I say?
I love it.

I'll go with a GBC...
