Wow it is to an old thread. Well since I know a PSP I would have to say PSP simply because of graphics, quality game, battery life etc and it's a Sony product and they don't seem to let their consoles die for a few years anyway.

I have played my Dad's Nintendo DS and it just doesn't compare with the PSP he even agree and went and bought a PSP. If your still into Mario and all those type of games then the DS for sure but if you want more 'hardcore' games then the PSP although if budjet is tight then the DS will always win.

I like the PSP as a hardware but the game lineup sucks! Mostly consist of racing games and dumb- downed PS2 ports

I much prefer the PSP, the power and the range of games is much better than those of the DS (Who's current lineup I find too insultingly 'kiddy' to ever care). I will buy a PSP at some point for both movies and games, hopefully a proper version of MGS will be made for it.

I will also buy a DS, assuming that the version of Jagged Alliance 2 currently under development for DS comes out, along with maybe a new version of C&C (just me hoping).

personally im gonna save up for a DS.

i have an xbox. most of the games available for PSP i can play on xbox.

psp is too expensive for me.

i wouldn't use it to watchmovies.

i wouldnt play any games on it, simply because i dont like any of the games on it/already own the games on my xbox.

when i look for a handheld i dont want a portable console. thats not the point. all i see on psp is ports from consoles. i don't see many unique games for it (maybe Lumines or GTA:LS)

DS has tonnes of games made specifically for it. and the touchscreen has made it possible for plenty of unique games to be made. basically i just wanna get a DS and mario kart and the wifi USB connector and play mario kart online all day.

i've never played a DS but i've played a PSP. maybe if i didnt have a tonne of games on the xbox i'd want a PSP but.

this is just my personal opinion, obviously i can see why a lot of people will choose the PSP because they want to use it for movies and/or like the games on it but not me.

The PSP is too expensive, and it's too much like a normal gameboy :p but the DS is different, using it like a handheld thing, it has variety

I dont get the DS's touchscreen/stylus option.

There are a few uses that make it interesting, bu some of them mean the stylus scratches the crap out of the screen after a while, for an example, look at any DS with a stylus used in a store for public use.

Well of course the screen's going to be all scratched if hundreds of people have tried it out at the store. :rolleyes:
My friend said that if you touch lightly, there should be minimal scratching or no scratching at all if your dexterity is high. XD
