mchart i have noticed you flame it for not being POCKET SIZED so i think you're backtracking... anyway i do agree that i do think the games on the DS will be more involving than some flashy graphics. Also amazon.co.uk seems to think it'll be 170+ so i believe them i find it hard to believe it'll be 100 or even 150. i hope it's 100 though because nintedo will have to lower thier DS to 50 and i can get both!

Mchart - as i'm a DS & PSP owner i think i have the right to say your comments are totally untrue, the DS and PSP both fit into a pocket very easy and the batteries last plenty long enough on both.
All i would say is YES you have to be more careful with PSP in pocket and make sure you get a decent case for it to go into as out of the 2 the Ds is more durable with its clam shell style, but i wouldn't want to put either in my backpocket and sit down on them, lol

I read a review about the Ridge Racer DS, it stated that the usage of the touch screen as a wheel in theory might be good but it was far from pratical and stearing with the D Pad wasnt either any good.
That a product has a novelty (Touch screen) does not make it great if the implementation of it by the dev isnt well done. And alot of games only the touch screen as a map.
I am not interested in the DS soley due to that the few games I like will be ported to the PSP, GT4, and WE/PES. The idea to play movies/tv rips on the PSP is interesting. But I am not sure if it will be good due to the small size.
Now that the PSP and DS are compeating is great. But it is stupid for a costumer to take a side in a war fought between companies to get costumers. Just buy what fits your needs and be happy with it, do not bash the other side for having different wants.

You can upgrade the size of the memory stick (things like 1GB which is more than enough for a film on that size of a screen)... Even films encoded to take up 128MB of space look good on a portable screen

There will be soon maybe 4 GB size sticks, but I am talking as in small size in regard with the screen size.

Why dont you take the time to read every one of my posts. Of course I meant battery life. And 6-8 hours? Dont make me laugh. It has a MAX of 6 hours with backlight on, using headphones.

Ok, the DS has a better battery life. What's there more to it? Now the costumer will decide if it is important for him/her and if this person will be able to charge every night. I guess the PSP will have to be charged every night for me, not maybe because of 5-6 game time, but due that I will use the functions of watching TV-shows on it.

but the "bush" is the PSP has poor battery quality making it not portable. he just proved that 6 hours is enough time to play a game.

PSP games will not all be quality? Oh I forgot how good DS games are lol...
The DS is not a new way to play games, I remember playing Tiger Wood 99 on a Palm touchscreen ages ago... or maybe you meant the double screen thing that we played on old "game and watch" machines back in the 80's...
I wish I had something really cool to put in my sig...

I would love to get a PSP, but $250 and $50 for each game is too damn much! You guys should join me in trying to get a free one... http://www.FreePSPs.com/?r=15467120
I own a DS, but I wouldnt recommend it to anyone until later this year when the games finally start coming out... though it is nice to be able to play old GBA games with fantastic lighting.
