lets face it, after i saw that some games come out for the DS rather then the PSP you can tell that the PSP is pretty much dead

sad ending :(

(COD4,5, 007Quantum of Solace, etc)

lets review this.. at first Psp phat came out. All of us were thrilled and excited about the handheld Playstation. after awhile psp slim came. we were astounded by the new features that slim has and made us buy the psp slim.. now PSP 3000 is here... ive got to say.. all those 'new features' that they are telling are just.. not enough for me to buy this new psp 3000.

in terms of the games.. DS has an absolute advantage in games. DS may not be that graphically enhanced but they have a whole array of great games.. the advantage however of the PSP is(obviously) graphics, the fact that there alot of PSP owners and players out there.. so finding a multiplayer friend is quite easy.

Wish people who already had the PSP would quit posting against the new version in every single forum I've ever glanced at. No it's not worth buying ANOTHER copy for the upgrade. It's for people who still don't have one, or just want to get another one for any various reason.(Such as gifts or replacements) If you don't like it, don't buy it, but don't come complain about it, that's even worse. It's basically just you saying, "i already have one, why should I have to buy another one?" YOU DONT HAVE TO. You see this same BS in any forum about any new device version, doesn't anyone notice a pattern here? When todays morons get mature tomorrow, yesterdays morons take their place.

As far as DS vs PSP, I'm taking PSP because I favor 1 good screen instead of 2 half decent screens. I also don't like the stick, how can you use that and buttons at the same time? I may also use it as a small DVD player sometimes. DS seems useless to me; if you are worried about the screen, buy a 15$ case. But thats just my opinion.

Why buy a PSP 3000? Because I can. The only improvement I suggest is a firmware update for an alarm clock feature for PSP like the DS. Other than that; why not? No other product can compare to the PSP, it's in a class all it's own. Besides, cell phone companies are going to be running scared soon enough with the use of wireless broadband access throught cities. Why not use your PSP as a phone with the built in Mic. (Plus play your games on any TV regardless of your cables used.) Most mobile phones are capable of running Skype, but they don't want you to know that. The service providers wouldn't make any money. Not to mention, PSP wasn't originally set to compete with Nintendo, but rather was set to compete with Apple IPOD. Now Sony is positioning to compete with cell phones. I say good, I pay enough bills as it is. I'll buy one, because I can.

I'm actually about to buy a 3000 and get rid of my DS.

The PSP offers a console experience in a handheld, and the DS has become worn out for me. I have played all the first party games for the DS, and now I am ready for a deeper experience, which only the PSP offers. If you haven't had a PSP in a couple years (like me), you can get some of the best games for only $20. Games like God of War, Wipeout, Ratchet and Clank, Tiger Woods, Metal Slug Anthology, GTAs, Force Unleashed, Need for Speed, Madden, Daxter, SOCOM, and many others will keep me busy for a looooong time. Also, you get movie, music and internet, which, if you don't have an IPod touch, is a very good thing.

The PSP 3000 is awesome imo.

i already have a 2000 model so i wont even bother with the 3000. but if you still dont have a psp and plan to buy one soon, i recomend you to wait for the 3000. its obviously much better than the 2000.

Oh. My. God. Do you realize that there are about 6 billion people on Earth who don't have a PSP? Maybe Sony is hoping to carve into that market, rather than double-dipping into the 17 or so million who currently have one? Edit: By the way, if there were some vastly improved new feature, this forum would be FLOODED with people screaming about how they should get a free upgrade to the new model...

Because I don't own a Psp. FFVII:CC,FF:T, FF: D are reasons enough for me to own one.

Now make a DS list and you will see the Difference.

And if this were a DS board or System Wars, that would be an awesome suggestion.

This forum is not for you to troll the PSP, or to compare it to the DS.
