PSP 1st Impressions Options

[Wiryu]

I just picked one up along with metal gear acid and dark stalkers, so far the system is very sleak and even more impressive in terms of visuals. Watched a few minutes of spiderman 2, runs well. I would reccomend nyone getting one not to rely on the soft case provided and get something more concrete though. Anyone else get one?

Here are some questions for you who own one.
Does the PSP come with any software for your computer? Like an app. to transfer mp3's from your computer to the PSP (via USB), or is it done just by sticking in the memory stick into your computer and doing it that way? If there is an app. did it mention anywhere about it being MAC compatible?

I own a Sony Minidisk device and not only did Sony NOT make MAC software (to encode and transfer) but they also made it virtually impossible for a MAC programmer to simply write their own. So, I kind of have an issue with Sony.

PSP-
6 hours battery life, to me, is great. In fact, knowing that the screen is much bigger then the DS(s) and it is constantly spinning the drive... how they got 6 hours is a miracle.

DS-
I bet it took the Nintendo guys about a day to write the software for voice and picto chat. So, why not? It's a fun add-on that didn't cost them a thing. People eat that crap up, imo. Plus, thnk about when Nintendo gets their network running... How often fo people chat on AIM on their computers? Now you can use the DS to chat AND draw goofy pictures. Sounds like fun to me!

Zio's right. PSP came out with much better launch games that the DS did. Plus the DS games are REALLY slow in coming. I don't know what's going on over in Nintendo land... but they better start to crank out the DS games or they're going to lose their market share. And good games too... not the ages 6 - 12 year crap that they out have now. But with that said, I do dream about the upcoming Animal Crossing game.hahah.
