PSP or DS?

[Vampyr]

Probably neither off of launch, but when I do buy one of them, it'll be the DS.

Why?

We'll, I've complained about the PSP's size before: it's huge.

I'm also too interested in the dual screen/touch screen wireless internet thingy to pay much attention to the PSP.

I'll give my opinion on this.
I'll choose DS right now for a few reasons:
It will probably be cheaper
Some games catch my attention
and the PSP is really more of a media system than anything else. I really don't need a portable media system (at least not yet o.O). Granted some of those games look good, but yeah.. I've stated my opinion.

too many posts about psp's size, it's actually smaller then the DS, but a bit longer. but who doesn't like some space between their finger tips playing on the go.

I'll probably wind up getting both. Right now I'm more excited for the games on the DS and the touch screen looks really fun, though mostly for mini-games. I can hardly wait to see what Nintendo does for Mario Party games on the DS.

The PSP will probably not be purchased at launch, but a few months later it will probably find a way into my pocket.

anyone complaining about PSP's size must have tiny hands, and I'm surprised they're willing to admit that

yeah because you know what they say about people with small hands.....




...small gloves

but in anycase although many of the DS games grab my attention, the PSP just seems to be a better system....not to mention the whole FF VII: Crisis Core...thing.

i'll probably get both, but most likely i'll get the DS coz of all the GBA support and stuff. Seems more value for money

Although my hands arent huge, or tiny, I wouldn't be afraid to admit it if they were.

The reason I don't like the size is that it looks to be too bulky to carry around. With my SP, I just fold it up and stick it in my pocket. I realize I'm not going to be able to do that with the DS either, but it still does look smaller.

Plus, I am a very unlucky person. Without a flip lid, I would have my PSP screen scratched up all to pieces.

PSP over DS any day... but I doubt I'll get either.

PSP easily. looks to have some solid looking gameplay to go with the graphics. and does a whole lot more for what little more its actually going to cost.

And wow, got some pretty big lack of info on the size of these 2.

Size
DS 148.7mm (length) x 28.9mm (thick) x 84.7mm (tall)
PSP 170mm (length) x 23mm (thick) x 74mm (tall)

Weight
DS 301.7 g
PSP 270 g

DS smaller? sorry guys, but dead wrong.
Aside from being half an inch longer, everything else about the PSP is smaller then the DS, and weighs less to boot. So with that, PSP being the SMALLER of the 2, PSP will be much easier to carry around.

for me tho, it just comes down to DS is way too gimicky. i just want to turn it on and play games. not find new innvations to save the world. Just games.

i didnt think i was gunna get either, but the PSP price is becoming VERY hard to pass up.
