I gotta go with the PSP it has way more AA games *ON GS*than the DS and it's remainder 2007 list PWNS the hell out of the DS. But I won't be a complete fanboy on ya this time. The DS does have a decent list and a few upcoming games are worth taking a look at ;).

I'd probably go with the DS, I do like the PSP but i guess i just like the DS gamesalittle bit more.

Same here. I only have the PSP but unless I go somewhere (on vacation for example), I hardly ever use it. I have a PS2 and 360. Why play a portable gaming system?

The DS games are games I wouldn't be able to find on the 360 or PS2 so I'm guessing I'd have more fun with it.

What's a PSP?

PSP is the ultimate handheld console and DS is the ultimate Gameboy. There you go. Everyone satisfied?Lazy_Boy88

Atleast it can play MP3's, you can keep your MIDI audio.

I love my PSP but its no Ds sorry you will not get too many to agree here.

For me the DS is not only the best handheld it is also the best video-games machine I have played in many years, perhaps since the PS1/N64 era. If it were not for the DS it is safe to say I would of given up on gaming right now, many of the titles are fresh, innovative and accessible; the software is largely built for the system- a feeling I do not get with the PSP. My brother recently bought the PSP and I have been less than impressed (Loco Roco is great), it feels like a PS2 in your hands which on paper sounds fantastic but in reality is not suitable for a handheld machine. Also the PSP has some rather substantial design flaws (shoulder buttons and analogue nub), the load times are also exacerbated because the machine is portable.

The PSP is not bad as such, just underwhelming and overloaded with unnecessary features.

So can the DS if you know what you're doing...

PSP = better graphics, better online, can do loads of stuff the DS can't. It alsohas better games in my opinion. 8)

DS = fancy stylus and teh touch screen. Plus it has tons of puzzle games. :|

Sad thing is, those things you think can't be done on the DS, actually can be done, for the most part.

Both the sales figures and the number of polls that have been done here before should have told everyone by now that most people prefer the DS to the PSP.

Sure, can your DS play PS1 games(LEGALY) full speed? RSS? How about a decent web browser, or the fact that it can connect to the PS3 from any hotspot and use it as an external HD. And you have to buy extra hardware to play music/videos on the DS. Not to mention the stuff it can do with homebrew.

I'm talking about music and video. You can play NES, SNES and Genesis on it which I consider to be superior to playing PSX (sure it's not legal, sure). All those features you mention, except maybe for the external HD, are pretty much useless, IMO. But whatever floats your boat. It is my opinion, after all. I'm merely stating that the DS can do more than most people think. Don't need to get all worked up because of it.

Well I have both and honestly.

PSP.

Why? I really enjoy the games - its an extremelly capable handheld system, its other features, and of course the homebrew.

And there are loads of awesome titles on the PSP, in the contrary to many haters. CRUSH - which I bought recently is freaking amazing, and Dead Head Fred looks flipping awesome.....

I'd go with the DS. Although, apparently the PSP is a man's gaming machine... :PAqua-Vitae

:D Thread of the year

DS games are original, PSP mostly ports.

The only problem is faboys say crap on the contrary.

And the PSP offers plenty of new and original titles - that of course - rate well. You dont need a new control scheme to have original titles.

Hell if anything a new control scheme presents just as many hinderances as benifits. Look at the DSs game collection and you will see loads of games that make no advantage of the controls - other than just another way of inputting your actions.

Both are great handhelds, but both are drastically different in so many ways... Not just the hardware and astetics, but the software, and crux of games aswell...

I think its fantastic that there is finnally two choices of fantastic handheld, rather than the single choice over - for over a decade.

Hell my handheld collection in my Sig is testiment to that.

tsssk, PSP= atrac, mp3, ogg, wma, wav, wmv, .mp4, .avi. divx, .xvid, mpeg, .asf, .asx, .mov, .swf, .rm, .mkv........irc, AIM, MSN etc, emulates over 20+ systems incl. the DS itself, RSS, crazy customisation, remote desktop, YouTube video player, killer games etc....

Hell speaking of awesome brew games, the fantastic Zero Gravity is almost due - and it looks better than many retail games. Unfortunatly thats all these forums allow me to say...... Cant really discusss the brew here.

DS since you can get more original games unlike the psp which get's games that were released on a console and are done WAY better on a CONSOLE.cyprus646

Is that supposed to be a downside? Meteos, Puzzle League, Picross, Tetris, Puzzle Quest, Polarium, Pokemon Link. Pure bliss for a puzzle fan like myself.
