DS VS PSP

[Jonbo298]

I'm not getting the PSP for 2 main reasons. Price and price because they feel the need to cram **** in there.

Nintendo's just gaming attitude is perfect for me. When I have a handheld thats supposed to play games, thats all I want. Price stays reasonable and I can game all I want. I dont want a product with 10 things in it just so that they can charge a **** load more for it. Just give me the damn games.

And in response to DS games already been done before. PSP has the same thing. VJ has been done before, GT has been before, MGS has been done before.

Just goes to show how valid certain arguements can get here...

Well, yes, it'd be a waste of money to get the PSP and just use it for games. The same can go for the DS though... WiFi, touch-sensitive screens, and voice-command are extra features that bump up the price a wee bit. With the DS, however, those features are added to enhance gaming.


Why am I going to buy PSP if it's so expensive?:
- I'd actually enjoy the extra features, and the extra features would spare me from purchasing another portable gadget if I ever wanted one (i.e. MP3 player, video player... I've though of getting one, but I don't want to carry around more than necessary).
- The game prices are super low.
- Like the consoles, this handheld has games that other handhelds do not... games that I have a higher compatability to.

And quite possibly most importantly...
- I do not have to rely on holidays or my parents anymore. I've got a job and no responsibilities, so it doesn't make much a difference if the PSP costs $100 or $300 as long as it ends up paying for itself with the hours that I put into it.

I have the money too if I wanted to get a PSP but I'm not because its gonna cost too much, IMO. I dont need a video player because my home dvd player is all I use. I dont need an MP3 player in it because I'd rather have a stand alone MP3 player.

Yes, the same old crap. You could say Viewtiful Joe 2, GT4, and "Metal Solid Gear" as you put it.. but those are all ports for the most part, aren't they?

PSP is LITERALLY a portable PS2, with what, wireless? Aside from wireless, what else is there? Tell me.

I hate to burst your bubble but their is NO OFFICIAL price. Only speculation.

All these people talking about how they aren't going to get a PSP because of the price, and the price hasn't even been announced yet. Same can also be said for the DS, no price announcement.

So here's what I'm seeing:

"I don't want a PSP because of the price, even though it hasn't been announced yet, but I'm a very smart person and I can see into the future, so I know the price already. So, I'll get a DS, because I know the price won't be as high, or even very high in general pricing. Sure it hasn't been announced yet either, but my psychic abilities allow me to make my decisions now, instead of later once all the information is actually announced and is valid."

The reason they're "craming all that **** in there" is because PSP is NOT suspose to be like DS/GBA/GB etc. It's suppose to be different, allowing for other features besides just games. If you want a handheld for JUST games, go ahead and buy a DS, if you want other stuff included, buy a PSP. Two different sides, two different styles, they are different systems, and comparing them is lame.

everything in life gets compared.

I don't see people complaining about the portable version of Metroid Prime :Echoes.

Plus Metal Gear Acid is a brand NEW game.
Gran Tursimo comes out during the PS2 launch... it will be fresh, great, and hold at least 9+ months or replayability. 1 freaking game.

And DS is LITERALLY a portable N64. Oh it has two screens and some touch screen functions, amazing, this must be part of Nintendo's "Revolution".

It is lame, people need to drop this comparison crap and move on. This is how console wars and fanboy crap gets started, just play what you want and what you like.

Damned 'tard. You just repeated what I said and acted as though I were ignorant of it.

PSP has Playstation games, which you called same old crap. At the same time, you felt excited about DS which has Nintendo games. Congratulations, hypocritical swine-err Dyne.

And don't be surprised when you actually read my previous post concerning this topic and realize that I was defending neither handheld, and rather pointing out the obvious facts that both are similiar. Remove your blindfolds so that we can once again enjoy the E3 forum.

This has got to be some of the worst arguements/debates I have seen in a long long time here at GT.

Both handhelds are fairly early, and not completed. Both handhelds are going to kick major ass. Both handhelds will have many ports, along with new amazing games. PSP will cost more than DS because it includes more things, and is to be used as a multimedia outlet. The DS will cost more than the PSP because it is focused on gaming only, and will not be used as a multimedia outlet. Both the DS and PSP will sell many many units because the target audience is both different and large.

So can all of you fanboys shut the hell up and stop arguing. Thanks.

no, the fanboy crap gets started by people not letting others have thier opinions.
