So, which of these two new handhelds are going to get you hard earned cash? Is it going to be the DS, with its revolutionary two screens and touch screen, or is it going to be the do-all PSP, with its excellent screen and general coolness?
Here's my thoughts. At first, I was all DS and anti PSP. One reason was the cost of the PSP. Everything I read was that it was going to be close to $300. That's alot of cash to doll out! Another was the rumors that the battery wasn't up to par. My reasons for leaning towards the DS were the massive game library that already existed (the GBA's) and the thought of playing a bunch of cool things with two screens and the touch screen. Now, my thoughts have changed. I just read that the PSP is going to cost $200. Still a bit expensive, but better than $300. I also read that they got the battery life up to six hours. To me, that's a long life. Sure, my GBA lasts for ten hours, but I'm never going to play it for ten hours straight so... So far, the DS's game library is a complete joke and I don't see it improving anytime soon. Nothing they have released so far has my interest. Nothing. There was one game I was interested in, Animal Crossing, but it's delayed until Sept. 2005. Now, I know nothing about what games are in development for the PSP, but I am thinking that it's going to be more up my alley. I have never owned a Sony game console but I read alot of magazines about games and the PSOne and PS2 have a boatload of great games I wanna play so I am betting that the PSP is going to follow in the same footsteps. So, to sum up. Unless some games comes out on the DS that interest me in the near future, I am saving my money for the PSP. I will always have my GBA, which I still love and which there are hundreds of great games for. Or maybe I will forget all this handheld talk and pick up a PS2. What are your thoughts on the new handhelds?? -------------------- ![]() |

Like you said, I feel that DS's library is a total joke. Any potential it has with the 2 screens, touch screen, and wirless connection is being (and will most likely continue to be( squandered by nintendo and its 3rd parties.
On the PSP front, there aren't any games out or on the horizon that interest me, but I think in the end it will be a more viable platform for portable gaming than the DS. Nintendo really dropped the ball on the technology game by giving the DS N64~level power while they are up against the PSP. Maybe they'll pull a Gameboy Advance 2 out of their asses that can compete with the PSP, fucking over all the DS player, but that remains to be seen. -------------------- |
