I don't know if it's been posted but which format is better.

Gameboy Advanced or wait for the PS P to come out?

PSP isn't the most portable and kinda fragile.
I wouldnt say it is fragile, well apart from the screen obviously. I played with one of these when i was in Japan and it feels quite solid all round.

Anyway if you just want games then go with the DS. If your willing to get a 512 or 1 gig mem stick and use the psp for games, mp3, video, picture storage, browsing and in the future use it is a scaled down pda then PSP is the way to go. Not to mention the PSP has PS2 quality graphics, but the battery life is "poor"(3 to 6 hours depending on game)

Well the PSP isn't even out in Australia yet. On that note, why purchase Gameboy Advance? The Nintendo DS has been out for quite some time and even supports advanced games.

I've owned an Advance and now own a DS, I have to say the DS is quite an experience. Not to say I won't purchase the PSP.

Again people go on about the graphics. It's about the games, which is why I bought a DS.
And the PSP beating the DS by millions you say Vangineer? On what basis does it "beat it" by millions?
And hearing from someone who owns a PSP saying it is far superior to a DS isn't very convincing. Do you own a DS?

I have a friend that does actually :p

And the PSP library is vast as basically all games on ps2 can be easily be transferred to umd format by sony. So expect many games when its launched here.

Believe me, having used both the PSP is a clear and decisive winner.

PSP = been there done that
I don't want to play dumb downed PS2ish games
also I heard the PSP has long long loading times and really short battery life
also their games are more expensive and the system cost way more than the DS

whereas the DS offers new experience in gmaing with it's innovative touchscreen, microphone, dual screens, online play, etc
plus nintendo's games are fun

zelda, metroid, mario >>> ridge racer, tekken, ratchet & clank

i mean come on, you 'heard' this stuff?

Well please actually try these devices before you put one down like that with your shallow arguments.

And for the record my psp lasts about 8 hours playing music.....what the hell is wrong with that?

i hate it how everyone thinks nintendo releases kids games whereas playstation has more violent adult games. Thats just a very good marketing campaign by sony that has fooled everyone.
