Which portable game system do you like and why? Mine is DS because I like two screens but PSP has one wide screen. PictoChat is cool also in my impressions. I don't need pencil, or pen, but a magic pen. I can write anything to my friends who has DS and chat. Great! DS, of coarse.

I would choose DS as well,

First off, on the PSP, you only get about 2 hours of gameplay before you have to recharge, In the DS you get about 10. If you drop the PSP once or twice, Its broke because it has the laser in it to read the discs. The DS you can drop it many times. The DS has voice recognition, you can play gba games on it and they make games strictly for the DS, Alot of the games on the PSP are going to be PS2 game remakes for it.

I dont have enough time to say anything else, Im typing this from school.

and I dont have a computer yet, its still crapped up.

Well you're both wrong, which one will sell more? - PSP, why? Not only will it have better games on IMO, but it has much better features i.e. mp5 player - music, video and games. The discs are UMD's (Universal Media Disc), meaning you will be able to use your PSP as a portable ZIP drive as you will be able to store files from your computer on there by transfering them from from your PC to your PSP via the UMD disc. Yes the DS has a cool little feature with the double screen, BUT I think I'd prefer focus to be put on the actual practicability of the console, which is what has happened with the PSP whereas the DS is slightly more centred around the idea of launching a slightly new way for games to work.

I will definitely be buying a PSP infact I have the money already saved up for the deluxe edition (?????????150, $250). Although as so many Japanese people have bought a PSP that it is outselling expectation by nearly double what Sony were expecting, which has meant the European launch of the PSP has had to be put back ..... till when I don't know.

But for me, the PSP is going to be far far better, being a fan of music and having enough rollercoaster videos on this computer to fill all of the space on a PSP's hard drive ... I'm sure the hard drive will be full straight away with music and videos for me to watch during free periods in school that are otherwise COMPLETELY boring [lol]

I like to stick more to games on a system then a bunch of other stuff.

The DS is a strictly gaming system and I like how it is made and the fact that you can play GBA games on it too. The touch screen is nice and voice thing is nice too. PSP focuses on other stuff besides games to try to beat the DS, The PSP will be by far, the toughest challenge nintendo will have for a portable system.

I dont have time to add more about PSP's drawbacks and Advantages and DS's Drawbacks and Advantages.

Im just a nintendo portable fan. I might ge a PSP just to have one and to compare the differences myself.
