Okay, so while your enjoying all your amazingly stupid dodads and retarded gimmicks, your PSP is slowly destroying itself so that you have to buy another one in a few months. Then your pixels will die (dead pixels), afterwords the DRE's will begin. Oh yeah, just what I want.

One being that the PSP's screen is HUGE.

Meaning you'll have a HUGE amount of scratches and unwanted crap the first time anything happens. And don't say it won't because I'm careful every day not to drop my DS and yet it still happens. Except I've only got two scratches on the top of the clamshell, tiny ones.

And yes, I'd love to put my very undurable screen in a big case that adds a pound and a half and about 1.5 square inches to the handheld, which it doesn't act like anyway. Sounds great.

And Jarret, I respond to idiotic posts like "omgwtfL!O!L PSP no argument" with "I think the DS is better because it has ... and the PSP doesn't and it is also more ... "

Like that. Maybe you should read back through the topic and see who the real fanbois are. You know. The ones that can't type more than two educated sentences to save their life.

That reminds me of something...

My mother taught my hipocricy:
If I've told oyu once, I've told oyu a million times, don't exagerate.

Don't be hypocritial, the PSP clearly has more gimmiks

Quite funny how Phyrro asks for no fanboyism but whenever someone says something about how they like the PSP, he replies with a sort of "DS is still better" type of post.

I chose the PSP due to many reasons. First, its launch titles. DS has good titles, well, one or two, but thats it. PSP had many. Games like Twisted Metal and Wipeout are examples of games that keep you thrilled for a couple of weeks. Super Mario 64 DS is just SM64 with 3 more characters. The fact that once you beat the game and there is nothing else to do makes this game kind of lame. If it had more minigames at the end of the game then it would have had more replay value but it doesn't.

Then I will go on to online support. For DSers, you will have to wait to play online. As for the PSP owners, you get WiFi support once you buy the handheld. Just connect it to a wireless point and set it up and boom you have online. A specific game would Twisted Metal. Some of you may have heard of it and some may have not. All in all, its a pretty fun game. What online game does the DS have, PictoChat? I have AIM.

One thing that bugs is that most of you DS fanboys hate the idea of having music, pictures, and movies in it. Well, would you rather buy SEPERATELY an mp3 player, a portable DVD player, and maybe some type of picture viewer? You would be carrying around a crapload of stuff compared to the PSP.

Basically, the DS to me like an N64 thats handheld and with an added two screens and touch screen.

I'm still getting a PSP.

Does Nintendo purposely make there systems crap so you have to buy more? No you don't get disk read errors from a DS because they don't use disks first of all and Nintendo isn't some money hog that makes there system cheap so you have to buy another system. O and wait what happens if you get a dead pixel? Does Sony give you a free new one? No Nintendo does. What about the battery life? 2 hours. :haha: Yea right. <_< I'll get a DVD and have 4 times the amount of battery life. MY iPOD MINI HAS BETTER BATTERY LIFE!

EDIT: O and just look at my sig. :r

Actually the PSP comes with a stylish polyester slim and sheek case.

And like I added in the second half of that post, it just adds weight and size to something that already doesn't seem like the HANDHELD (as in portable) that it's made out to be. :/

are you trying to say that the DS is more "handheldish" than a PSP? I would say you're wrong, that second screen just makes it bulky looking to me.

The PSP with the sleek case is just as thick as just the DS. The second screen of the DS is unneeded, IMO. I'm fine with just one.

Yeah, I think its kind of unnerving to have to look at 2 screens at one time (if thats what the game calls for).

I really like the widescreen PSP screen, makes you feel like you're playing a movie or somethin.
