What's important isn't whether you're right, or he's right, what important is that IGN are a bunch of dolts.
Just so we're all clear on that.

I think Stonecutter hit it on the head.
Why are we bickering amongst ourselves? This is a gaming forum, and both of these handhelds play games, and both have their special features. Its up to you which ones you like (and also which games you prefer) to decide what you want.
Let IGN be idiot fanboys for the PSP. They lose a little more respect everytime they do that.

Re: IGN gets excited over playing MP3's
I think all the extras on the PSP are great, personally, however, we will see how the cost weighs out in the end. The PSP is going to have memory sticks and other expansions added on to its base-price. The one nice thing about the DS so far is the fact that there haven't been any news of add-ons.
I wouldn't mind listening to music while playing Twisted Metal on the go, but we'll see how the average consumer feels on the issue.
And yes, IGN is retarded.

Re: IGN gets excited over playing MP3's
In the future Pictochat will be really usefull for gaming, though. You will be able to contact people you want to play with via wifi. MP3's serve absolutely no purpose for gaming. IF they didn't include pictochat, than it would kind of be like playing an online game on the computer without a chatroom or lobby to meet people in.
I do agree with you on the last part, though. All people do around here anymore is complain about what IGN said. Just don't read it anymore. :\ And this just backs up Null's argument in another thread that all people focus on are the negative comments.

You mean like almost every MMORPG, RPG, Sports game, and War fighting game?

im not saying it doesnt have its purposes that you can use it for, im saying its not a game and they included it. they coulda put a spot to put a headset in, or just used normal chat.
Mp3's can serve to music to listen to while you play games. its not a game, just as the picto chat isnt, but people can find uses for it.
However im a bit confused on the one sentence, i never meet people in a lobby before playing a game. lol. you just hop on a server where people are. why would you need to talk to them first? computer games especially, you hop on, it lists servers and how many people are playing on each server and you join one. you can talk DURING the game, but i never talk before.
Console games, which i think your refering to work a lot differently since people dont create constant 24/7 servers, they host games where everyone syncs up together. therefor people have to get together enough people before playing a game.
but even so..., tho they have a lobby where people can talk, no one uses it to organize games to play, they sometimes talk about meaningless stuff. but when they want to play, they just hop on someones game they created and are waiting for people to join. either that or on a 1on1 game they challenge random people.
But lobby for computer games, no, because theres no centralized server.

Re: IGN gets excited over playing MP3's
This is way different from PC online games. Here you notice that there's someone with a DS close by and you start talking to him. You agree on the game, then you start playing.
You can't host a game 24/7...

Re: IGN gets excited over playing MP3's
Just so we're all clear, the PSP is a media handheld, so to call it solely a gaming handheld in comparison to the DS would be unjustified. Since SONY clearly stated it to be a multimedia handheld... it wouldn't be WRONG for them to have the extra features it has.
So why bust on the PSP because it plays mp3's and people get excited over it? Truth be told, I drive so.. i dont need an mp3 player..... the one thing I'm excited about is the UMD movies..

True this.
I need to buy another iTrip. I had the iPod + iTrip in my pocket when I was drunk jumping on a swiss ball. The pin bent.
So heart breaking. Oh and I'll try replacing the battery then. Sweet!

Re: IGN gets excited over playing MP3's
Only no one will ever have something even close to 1000 songs on a PSP.
Remember that hybrids usually don't do that well.... But Sony can probably handle it.
edit: never-->ever

i wouldnt say never, how do you know no one will have that many songs on a psp? the memory sticks are just going to get bigger and bigger. i say eventually they will have one big enough to hold 1000, of course by then we'd already have 100 GB ipods.

I hope you really like Advent Children, then, because it's likely to be the only movie released on PSP. Unless they release Digimon episodes as well. IGN may be a bunch of PSP fanboys, but even they don't get excited about UMD movies. Maybe they realize that it's going to be about the most anemic movie playback ever conceived.
