Guest Arwing11 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 from what im seeing here not many people will like the PSP due to the high prices my lord thats too much! for a handhelded gaming system. even though it costs a lot I think you really get something for your money, so far there's going to be better games on PSP, but depends how good hunters will be. PSP will be the ultimate handheld, not saying DS is bad, because it's definetily not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XG Fox Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 and its cheaper to have a CD player and a DS together... takes up more space, but there'll be more money left in your wallet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Personally I like the DS more, it seems actually innovative and new, the PSP is just a portable PS2 if you ask me. Now don't get me wrong, I may very well get a PSP, in fact I was contemplating it the other day at target, but the thing is, I don't have the money for it right now. A DS on the other hand I could afford, but at the moment there aren't a whole lot of games on it that interest me, and to behonest WipEout Pure is the only PSP game that's really got me intrigued. On a completely different note, I wrote an article for the noew dead DS-Insider back when I was running the place. You can check it out at the URL below. The article contains images of copious amounts of blood but other than that I personally think it's quite a good read (not that I want to sound braggy or anything) http://ds-insider.com/?page=features/humor/dvp/index Feedback is, of course, always welcome, though it's an old article so don't expect any changes EDIT: I should also add that the article was written a while ago, so that's why it may seem a bit...dated. It's also much funnier if you've seen a couple certain movies. 0_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XG Fox Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 its got me intrigued too... the Wipeout series rocks! but if i bought a PSP, then i would probably never have enough money for a DS... and id be missing out on any cool games from Nintendo for the DS... what to do, what to do?

Hioshen Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 well the main problem i see in the PSP is cost thats all there both great systems to me although i like the DS better not just for its cost but for the games but.. thats waht the mainl problem is with the PSP ...too costy argh over 200 bucks...=p o well.. in the future it will go down ..eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfen Strike Force Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 ok, time for my 2 cents, which would have been here sooner, were my connection better than dial up! ok, personally, i think this is like picking between the lesser of two evils. one one hand, you have the DS, a good concept, but playing it seems very odd for me, i can never get the feel for it. the games are a bit lacking in variety at the moment, but that will change. you also have the wireless messageing and wireless conections to other DS systems. so id say this is a mediocer system. now the psp, a bit less of an odd feeling to hold in your hand, but sony made a big big big mistake when they went with mini disks instead of cartradges, disks are for big big games, they can hold more than Cartrades, but they take too long to load. the perpouse of a hand held game, is to pull it out in class or at lunch and be able to flip it off and go to next class when the time comes. but the psp takes so long to load that buy the time you get to play you gotta go. not good i must say. then again the psp has more and probably better games. not to mention the music downloads and extra features and such. so once again id say mediocer system. any how, my choice is neither, im plenty happy with my good ole faithfull SP, and they will continue making games for sp, so im happy enough with that, now my money can go to better places.

Guest 'spatchofrust Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 yeah, i avoid this dilema by not buying either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmon45 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 i'm going to have to go with the psp. I like the one big LCD screen better than the two smaller ones. I like how it has the joystick and it looks like a bunch of killer games are on the way. The ds just seems like it is all gimick and no substance. And I doubt that many of the multiplayer features will be implemented. remember the gamecube? it was supposed to have online play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Krystal's_Lover Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Hmm...well, this is unexpected....oh, hi everyone. Well, you see, I have a DS, right? And I used to be part of the "DS forever! PSP go home!" crowd...however, in the last couple days, I've gotten this unexplainable urge to just go out and buy one. I mean, I really want one...I have the money, and I'd still have my DS and everything, so...I mean, nothin' to lose, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arwing11 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 yea better to have both of them looks like there's another deffect w/ the psp, first it was the square button (i think) not working in Japan, and now dead pixels, but it's on ds too PSP Launch: Dead Pixels Nobody wants that dot. New info on what Sony and retail outlets are doing about potential problems. by Jason Allen March 25, 2005 - Are you having a hard time wiping that little speck of what looks to be dirt off the screen of your PSP? That's probably because it's probably not a speck of dirt, but a permanently burnt pixel on the LCD screen that happened during the manufacturing process. That dot (or dots in some cases) is called a dead pixel, and it's a common flaw with devices the use LCD screens, including computer monitors and even expensive HDTV screens, and like your PSP for instance. Dead pixels are the most common term for LCD manufacturing errors, but a number of other errors are often also lumped in with the term (including stuck pixels, where a pixel stays lit, and trapped dust particles and bubbles, which look like pixel problems but are actually specs of dust or pockets of air trapped between the plastic layers of the screen.) These are common problems in LCD manufacturing, but when you are paying $250 and change for a game system, that's not reason enough to settle for. Since launch, IGN has received a few dozen dead pixel reports, and forums including the IGN Message Boards and others have been blazing with questions and complaints about the problem. One of the five PSPs that we have in the office has a few dead pixels as well. Sony is currently developing policies to deal with the issue. When we talked with Sony Computer Entertainment's public relations representative about the issue, we were told that Sony Customer Service is taking calls and will deal with the issues case by case as they come up. A call to that Customer Service line (a yellow Technical Support leaflet is included inside the PSP packaging), a customer service representative we spoke with about the issue explained that the current policy is that they are asking customers to play with and use their PSP for a week to see if the dead pixels disappear, as they sometimes do. If, at that time, the pixels are not firing or cycling, customers can mail their PSP in for an exchange. As of now, the policy is that customers will incur the cost of shipping and returning, and it was not known how much that would be. When the Nintendo DS came out in Japan, this same issue came up, with similar numbers of complaints about dead pixels. Nintendo took a strong stance on the issue, with an official policy announced early on and a good customer service mechanic to keep gamers with a system in-hand during the process. In Nintendo's warranty exchange system, gamers returning systems with dead pixels would automatically be sent a second, brand-new DS system; once gamers received the DS, the customer would then send back the system they are not happy with. (A valid credit card must be put down to make this particular exchange, as Nintendo will bill the customer for the second system until they have received the problematic system in exchange.) Sony has not made official statements on how it will address warranty exchanges, but the company policy seems to mirror Nintendo's customer service line quoted below: "We suggest you use your system for a few weeks to determine whether this interferes with your enjoyment of game play. If, after using your system for awhile, you feel that this tiny dot is too distracting, the Nintendo DS does carry a one-year warranty. We are happy to inspect and, if necessary, fix your system at no charge within the warranty period." from ign ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Beau Skunk Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Although right now, I'm stickin' with my GBA, I'd chose DS. It does look like it has some cool games, Wario Ware: Touched, Animal Crossing DS, Nintendogs, the New Super Mario Brothers, & some other games. BTW I heard recently Nintendo & GameSpy are ganna make a FREE on-line network for the DS, and Animal Crossing DS is ganna be one of the first on-line games for it! Cool, eh? ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 'spatchofrust Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 what is animal crossing and nintendogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Beau Skunk Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Animal Crossing is kinda a simulation RPG-like game. Even though the graphics arn't as great as other games, it's pretty cool. You basically get to live in your own town & community, help out neighbors, collect furniture & items for your house, (Including classic 8-Bit NES games) go fishing, sell stuff, make money, pay off your debts to expand your house, & celebrate holidays & events in real time, using the GameCube's internal clock. You can do it all however you wish. You can even design patterns for you clothes & house using a Mario Paint-like pixel grid. And even customize the town's theme song. And Nintendogs is basically a sim where you take care of puppies, enter them in dog shows, & stuff. I don't know a lot about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmon45 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I'm worried that the psp might not be reilible. If its built all defective like the ps2 I would not want one. My family bought a ps2 and it broke after the first week. The battery life is kind of short too. I heard it can go out in 4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
