Re: DS price drop AKA psp doom3d
I see Xantar's point, it's just said in a really agressive way that makes it sound worse than it should. Whenever people compare PSP and DS and GBA, they are quick to point out all the features of the PSP, which they instantly feel make it a far superior machine. Really, the whole "extra features" of the PSP seem really thrown together and poorly done from what I've seen. The lack of video format support, the small memory size (i realize it's upgradable, but by the time you purchase a large memory stick, an MP3 player really isn't that much more expensive).
The best extra feature that the PSP has, really, is emulation, which is illegal and wasn't even done by Sony. I do applaud them on trying to incorporate a lot of features into it, and it was a great idea, and they pulled it off pretty well, it's just the fact is, I don't want an MP3 player that is as big as the PSP. I want it to be small. I don't want it to have a screen I'm worried about damaging. If my DS had MP3 support, guess what... I'd still use my iPod. I realize that it's a great alternative for those without fancy gadgets, but it still doesn't make it useful in my eyes.
Again, I still see the PSP and DS as playing on an equal playing field, as equally great systems, so don't give me the bias/fanboy bull**** that I know is gonna come out.
