DS and PSP side by side screen comparison!

[Illuminati]

It's gonna be the nVidia vs ATI wars all over

If you want to get the flash crap, stick with the PSP - Hopefully in its effort to be a full media experience it'll remember that the original concept was to be a handheld GAMING machine.

As for the DS, I'll stick with it - I've had a go on one recently and I'm already loving the wireless play

isnt that the same as saying who cares about plasma/lcd television?

the quality between the 2(psp/ds) screen compared is like a regular tube tv vs a plasma

tft is an expensive gimmick though

i'm the sort of person with more money than sense when it comes to gaming so i'll eventually get both even though the PSP will probably be strictly GTA and divx

Remember PSP uses those lil discs so all your current movies/albums and other stuff you will have to re-buy in UDF discs, so why buy the same movie twice jusxt to watch it in a train?

Also companies are gonna look at it like this (becuase the PSP has about the same graphics as PS2) :

Make a game for a system that already has millions apon millions of owners and have hardly any risk or not selling. Or make a game on a handheld system tha will cost us the same ammount to make and very new.

Face it PSP is Sony's new money machine, its not about letting you watch DivX, its abou selling UDF discs

And the DS looks like it came from the 80's. I aint going to be geting either.

how much is one 512 memory stick gonna cost or will it not take em?

[TheDave]

anyone know if i could import a DS and use it with european games next year, or will nintendo do some regional thing to stop brits getting a good deal?

i heard a US ds costs £80 but on european release they'll be £130

My friend looked into this (as his parents were going out there and he wanted to get one)

And im pritty sure Nintendo have not region locked them, Sony HAVE region locked PSP however.

[Mr. Elmo]

sony only have region locked on movies/audio. you can play US psp games on a Jap psp unit and vice versa

[TheDave]

Nintendo has officially confirmed that the Nintendo DS will be region-free, allowing it to play games purchased anywhere in the world. Although this news may not specifically cater to American and Japanese folks, it certainly gives us Europeans the benefit of importing our DS systems from abroad, with the help of import specialist sites such as Lik-Sang.com.

back to being a nintendo fanboy for me then. sony can suck my ass

[Mr. Elmo]

obviously the part about the psp being region free for games in my post was ignored.

who cares if the psp is region lock on movies/media...the ds can't even play movies on its own

[TheDave]

i clicked reply before that and hi resolution doesn't beat good games.

if i want a portable dvd player i could buy a portable dvd player for half the price (probably less) than a psp
