PSP games are taking advantage of the online play right from the start...

PSP's the first system to actually have online PLAY at launch...

I thought Chu Chu Rocket launched, I was wrong. But DC did have games online, it wasn't multi-player online play, but they were online in various ways to enhance gameplay. This is just another clever play of words from marketing execs.

And with my SP, we take fire, I slam it shut, throw it behind me. There's been a few times where there wasn't time to find a case, and put it inside. And the whole point of a handheld is to be able to put it in my pocket when I'm done, but that will leave the screen exposed.

yes but if you have time to throw it in your pocket, you have time to put it in a case first. PSP with its case should still be slimmer then the DS folded up.
of course im not talking about emergancies. Ememy ambushes you and starts firing, you stand up and say, TIME OUT! I HAVE TO PUT AWAY MY HANDHELD!.... YOU SEE IT GOT SO BORING HERE FIGHTING YOU GUYS I HAD TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO!

hehe
i dunno. i just find neither better in that reguard. Both ways its up to you to protect your own screen. neither handheld does it for ya.....unless you drop the dS on its lid and it slams shut when it hits the ground. lol.

Eh, im sure someone will make a screen protector that snaps onto the PSP and folds down over the screen, IMO totally pointless but to each his own i suppose.

I think we need to look at the big picture here.

PSP is the first HANDHELD system to launch online. The preceding statement is for whomever differs upon the statement "...first SYSTEM..." because we all know Dreamcast was online.

We shouldn't compare systems to Handhelds... it's like saying "The DS sucks compared to the Gamecube"

....right?

And when I think of online play, I don't think of "online in various ways to enchance the gameplay"... I think of playing with or against people online, and PSP is the first console to offer that at launch...

It's not just a "clever play of words from marketing execs"...
