Dude, who cares?

And youre right, the DS is no Playstation, its more of an N64 kind of system.

To most people, the PSP will be a gaming console instead of anything else, and most of the people getting it will be like 18-34. I really dont see kids playing the PSP because of their parents not letting them get it for them. I also see a huge price difference on both the DS and PSP. Im thinking around $300 for the PSP and $150-ish for the DS.

And sure there maybe some UMD's for the PSP but I dont think a lot of people will even pay attention to them.

$200? Nintendo better put their games out at the same price as the PSP then... I hear the PSP is planning for excessively cheap games, no?

with thier own CD (UMD) they made, and the fact that its cd and not cartridge. they very well possibly could be cheaper

i never heard anything that they're planning that tho.

I agree with that... the PSP might become more of a young adult-old adult oriented machine. But I highly doubt the UMD movie CD's will be ignored.... especially when you can watch it on a high res small screen anywhere you are.
