DS VS PSP

[Neo]

I like the PSP but the DS has more to offer me right now. I know developers are going to do some amazing things with the dual-screen configuration. The PSP has a wider screen but that's about it as far as I'm concerned. I don't like the games nearly as much as the ones on the DS, and there's no way I'm going to watch a two hour movie on a PSP unless it comes with a free eye doctor's appointment afterwards. Being able to play music is cool, but I'm generally too lazy to download and burn mp3s.

I'd like to own both but if I have to choose then I'll go with the developer's system.

See, and how did he get to thoes opinions? he compared them.

Comparing them is NOT a bad or lame thing. its a life thing. it just happens.

the bad comes out when some people aren't allowed to have thier opinions that they form.

Oh and in my opinion the PSP looks much nicer than the DS. Fortunately I saw on gamespot that the DS will undergo cosmetic adjustments before release. Of course "cosmetic adjustment" rarely equates to "radical redesign" heh."

Just make the DS look sleeker and more sexy then you'll be able to actually show it in public

yea. the different design goes along with the differnt audience they're targeting.

i expect a few things to spiffy up the DS a bit. but they wont go so far as changing the basic design of it much.

I don't mind if they change the design much; I just hope they find some way to accomodate using the stylus easily, because on most devices it's a one-hand feat holding it while writing, and the DS looks much bigger than a Palm. And for lefties.. that could be an issue. I mean, when I'm writing with my right hand, my left hand can hold it, with my left thumb over the digital pad -- what about the right buttons? I'm going to have to put the stylus somewhere or hold it awkwardly while I'm using those four buttons.

Ok, you didn't understand what I said earlier. If you'll look at my whole post, instead of the very last sentence, you'll see I was trying to make a different point. I know all about human psychology, human brains compare things, yep they sure do. You seem to think I was talking about comparison in general, I'm talking about comparison of these two items, with improper and invalid "facts" being used in opinions.

"I don't want PSP cause of price, DS however I will get, because price will be lower, even though neither price has been announced" You see how I compared those? And do you also see how I used a biased, and invalid opinion?

I never once said people shouldn't compare things. But in THIS topic, with THESE items, using THOSE opinions, I'm afraid that is LAME.

DS's design is not final. The console shown at the show is a prototype. They had to whip it up so people could actually play the games.

*Feels cold chill*.....sooo ...much ...hate

I dont think Ill get either of the new handhelds. I would rather play my consoles. I never could find a use for a handheld other then vacation. and Ill just use my gameboy and pokemon/tetris for the little times when I start going in withdrawl.

thats thier damage control. lol. all companies will do it. if its not being recieved well they'll say its a prototype and design will change.


as i said before tho. the basic layout i doubt will change much. they'll add a little more flavor to it to spruce its look up a bit tho. just IMO of course..

I have a plan to see which shall be better...because at this point its all speculation and opinions, so im going to buy both when they come out and perhaps shall compare the two....That should shut the fanboys up.....

HAHA....okay...good point, but i meant it would shut them up to strategically list all the things good and bad between the two. But you honestly cant now, because its all speculation (for the most part).....geez, i wasnt implying that they would listen to me...nobody does..

I chose the DS.
