I'm just frustrated with how much fanboy hype there is going on in these threads from people that don't normally let that part of them take over. And of course you're always going to have a few complete fanboys that are unable to even coming close to looking at things from an unbiased perspective (cough tarakan69). I apologize, you'll have to excuse my cold. As I was saying, you'll always have a few complete fanboys, but some of the good posters (really not going to name names) are getting a bit blinded both on the DS and the PSP side.

PSP
Fact: PSP is a portable media machine. It does what it does very well. It is a poly-pusher and I'm sure we'll see some amazing technology and visuals on it.

My Opinion: MGS and GT have really got me excited. I might get it, but at this point I'm thinking a laptop might be something more appropriate.

DS
Fact: Very innovative in respect to interfacing technology in a PGU (Portable Gaming Unit). It's definately got a lot to offer with the touch screen, microphone, dual screen functionality, etc.

My Opinion: I'm really excited about the DS on a product level, but worried about it on a business level. It's compatable with the GBA, so what happens when Nintendo releases the next Gameboy (since they are planning a separate Gameboy portable)? How soon is Nintendo going to release the next Gameboy? Is the release of that going to effect the DS? Are people going to want to pay for another Nintendo handheld? The games look great. Some original stuff, some remakes, but over all classic Nintendo. Hopefully everything works out.

At any rate, let's look at them for what they are. There's no need to bicker over which one is missing what features. We already know all of that. What you need to decide for yourselves is which one best suits you. What do you want to do on a PGU? And once you've answered that there will be no need for any " Screw you all Metal Gear Acid will destroy all competition!!

Good Night.
