DS Vs PSP

[Bloodgod]

I vote for the PSP, for several reasons:

• better processor (333MHz vs 66MHz)
• longer battery life (especially when underclocked)
• screen size/resolution
• more thoroughly hacked/more available software
• better title lineup (IMO)

...plus, it the first scene I was ever on.

I'm not saying you shouldn't buy a DS, I'm just saying you should get a PSP first. XD

You've obviously never taken a flight from the US to JPN with a PSP huh?

Actually Graphics are almost everything.

EPIC FAIL

Well i have PSP since the start in Japan (import) and DS Lite since a year or so and actually i would tend more to the PSP because after sad 4-5 years without any real good game (except for some exclusives) at least almost all of them are ports that just don´t work on a hand held as on a "real" Console (XBOX360,PS3 or whatever even Soul Calibur PSP is very boring especially since there is no online support and i have all of the "old" ones) but there are coming slowly some good games but the DS have already some really unique games from every kind of genre.
Unfortunatly there are many more games for the DS that are using online features (dunno why after 4 years there are not more PSP games that are supporting online it´s sad but true).

Anyway at the end you need to make the choice they are both good but the DS have more good games at the moment (in my opinion ) but as said slowly there are coming more good games for the PSP but you will still need to wait for most of them (Honestly stupid $ony

)

PS: GT Portable was planned to released at the European PSP start but hey now we get it.

I would have to say the DS because of the variety of games. Certain games like the Mario & Luigi series cannot be found on the PSP and The World Ends With You have yet to be matched (imo) by any game on the PSP.

TWEWY is overrated and the last good Mario&Luigi game was on the GBA.

That being said, Both consoles have their pros and cons. DS games are normally upbeat and colorful, more geared towards teens and children(but I enjoy them all the same).

And the PSP has games that are more geared towards adults and older teens. Some days I want to play Pokemon, or New Super Mario Bros., some days I want to play Monster hunter or Crisis Core.

they are both great systems, and as far as battery life goes, the DS compared to the PSP, the difference is negligible.

 

[Raestloz]

TWEWY is not that overrated until you've finished the main story, after that it IS overrated...

Some DS-worthy titles like Professor Layton and the upcoming Okamiden and Scribblenauts, along with good titles like the nostalgic Chrono Trigger DS and kinda new Viva Pinata gives some point for DS

But then PSP's got War of the Lions, Crisis Core, Agito, Chains of Olympus, Vice City Stories, Liberty City Stories, Dissidia, and those alone are enough to lure you

in the end, just buy both of them

There's no reason to say "PSP's music playback capability is heavenly!" My Nokia handles that nicely. You gotta admit it's good, but it's not like it's so HEAVENLY. More options is always welcome though....
There's no reason to say "DS's video playback is a joke", it's a fucking game console, not media player

There's no reason to say "DS is for kids" kids won't play Brain titles, they'll take games instead
There's no reason to say "PSP is for the proud adults" what the fuck is Bomberman doing there?

There's no reaosn to say "DS is weak!" gameplay is everything, not graphics
There's no reason to say "PSP is powerful!" Kingdom Hearts for DS proved DS is quite worthy visual-side

There's no reason to say "DS got a fucking extra screen!" PSP got a widescreen
There's no reason to say "PSP got an analog controller!" DS got the touching capability

There's no reason to say "DS got bad games" DS got Mario Kart DS and Professor Layton
There's no reason to say "PSP got great games" PSP doesn't have alot of games, however, lots of those are good

like you said, psp and ds are two completely different types of consoles,
the ds is a portable pure gaming station, gaming is the primery function and all the other progs' are just goodies.
although the ds do not have the graphic powers of a psp you can have fun with it, graphic's not all:. - but the console lacks of racers and beat em' ups:.
the psp is more a portable multimedia system, movie-, musik-, internetfunktions are supported by the handheld itself, and yes the thing is more powerfull than a ds or dsi system, but still graphic's not all^^,
i do not say that the handheld is bad, but it assigns other priorities. Everyone must decide for himself which handheld he prefers':.
personally i would choose a ds, cause i already own one

 

[syko5150]

I own both a PSP and DS and id have to say i prefer DS over PSP simply because DS games are funner to play...graphics are meaningless in gaming other then something nice to look at.I would rather play a game with a stick figure that has fun game play then a game that looks nice and you get bored of after 30 minutes.

 

[Smash Br0]

Personally, I like the DS much more. Gameplay over graphics any day!

indeed. for my point of view, gameplay is the most important aspect to be considered in rating a "gaming" console. graphics is secondary only. this is the reason why DS outsells PSP. DS games is much more fun than PSP. ya the graphics of PSP really is a standout compared to DS, but the DS games really made me play their games over and over. ya i could watch videos on PSP, but i also have my ipod with me. what i mean is a "gaming" console should be appreciated with the "gaming experience"using it...and i had experienced it on DS.

All depends if you're gonna mod or not. DS > PSP if it's not modded, but PSP >>>>>> DS if it is.

Elaborate.

 

[Bluelaserman]

If I were to choose, I would pick the DS, only for the purpose of playing multiplayer games with ease, though, if the ds didn't have this option/ I didn't have a sibling to play with, I would pick the PSP

DS in my mind = Dual System

PSP in my mind = Personal Self Player

 

[Finishoff]

I prefer to use my PSP mainly for running homebrew and the DS just for the games.
Both of the console have solid pros and cons it all about preferences.

Modded PSP has NES, SNES, Sega Genesis/CD, PSX, and probably more emulators I'm forgetting/don't know about. Also can play UMD ISO/CSOs, plus a large amount of homebrew applications such as improving the web browser, watching videos from sites like YouTube, and you can even get an application that makes your PSP into a TI-83 calculator.

All you can do on an unmodded PSP is play music and some video files.

one's a very powerful but also very costly "multimedia machine" with around 3hrs of battery life, aimed mostly at regular to hardcore gamers.

And the other is a "gaming machine", but is also capable of alot of multimedia stuff(emulators, surfing the net, audio, video, and alot of homebrews) with battery life that goes around 6-7hrs. with games for any age, newbie, casual, regular and hardcore gamers.

Honestly speaking, I'd prefer my "gaming machine" over my "multimedia machine" anyday.

Seriously overrated game, it's good but quite overhyped like Kingdom Hearts.
