Shiny Shiny Picks PSP over DS

Posted Apr 14, 2007 at 1:47AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: PSP, Nintendo DS Tags: GBA, Sony
Ó

DS vs PSP - Image 1To this day, the bitter feud between Sony PSP and Nintendo DS fanboys brews white-hot. An article published in Shiny Shiny, however, has proven that people can have opposing handhelds and still co-exist. Friendships don't have to be buried by preference and the writer picked a winner among the two.

The article discusses the features of both systems and points out the things that sell them. The Nintendo DS not only carries the proud Nintendo tradition preceded by the GBA and the original Game Boy. It has innovative features and has games for almost everyone. Like the Nintendo Wii, the price point and the kid-orientation has propelled it to financial success.

The PSP on the other hand is a technical marvel in handheld gaming. Its power in terms of graphic generation and the clarity of videos is astounding. The games are inventive and the effects are similar to the PlayStation 2 and the Wii. Older gamers have come to love it and the software is flowing in.

The verdict? Shiny Shiny loved both of the machines but there can be only one winner. They chose the PSP because of the quality of the games, the customizability and the added features. If you want to check the full account of the friendly story, follow the read URL.

All Nintendo DS owners are goddamn jews. We should exterminate them all or send them back to germany where they originally belong.

Well I own both. The psp definitely is better...the only game i like for DS is advance wars.



But the psp emulation makes it godlike compared to the Earthbound DS.



It's ironic that the psp has access to WAY more nintendo library titles by way of homebrew. It's also ironic that the DS freezes more while playing mario 64 (the homebrew daedalus is more stable than the commercially manufactured DS).

# Well we KNEW that!Guest 2007-04-14 04:23
The PSP is FAR superior to the DS. Those nappy headed hoes over at Nintendo wouldnt know a good handheld if they sold several million of them.



The DS + The ghetto

The PSP + The beautiful sprawling suburbs!

why on hell do only soniers reply to this new!!??



I am a prowd owner of both handhelds and of course I won't negate the obvious, the PSP is technically very superior to it's nintendo counterpart. but that's the only one of it's advantages.



PSP games stink! that's where nintendo is the best at, and will be for a long time, as things go. the people at sony think that higher end (which doesn't mean better) graphics and stuff like that make good games, but c'mon, we're not kids, are we? whoa! look my game has hundreds of thousands more poligons that yours!! it must be better!!



tell me if you can find games as good as mario kart ds, trauma center, phoenix wright, animal crossing, advance wars, and lots more on your super high-tech-but-poor-games PSP.



no way!

# what?Guest 2007-04-14 04:33
I've never had Mario freeze on my ds once. I've had that game since release of it too......what meth you on again? Anyways, was a decent article but once it got to the end where they chose psp for its "quality of games," i died a little inside. From what I remember, not only I but quite a few others that create those pesky little things called "statistics" seem to agree and show that DS has much more "quality" games. I love my psp, but if it wasn't for homebrew and iso loading, I would have probably never even considered getting it.

# PSP games stink?Guest 2007-04-14 05:22
If you honestly own both systems, and say that DS games are better, you obviously haven't touched your PSP.... Because on top of what the others listed, Monster Hunter Freedom, ATV Offroad Fury Pro, Burnout Legends, Crash Tag Team Racing (which I actually prefer to mario kart because of its platforming), Guilty Gear, Power Stone Collection, Socom 2, SSX On Tour, Tomb Raider, Tony Hawks's, Untold Legends, Valkyrie Profile Lenneth, The Warriors, Worms, Gurumin, Metal Slug Anthology, etc. Yea, the DS has its on renditions of a couple of these games, but the DS versions are HORRIBLE. Lets not forget that ANY sports game on the PSP is going to be better than its DS counterpart. Get your head out of your butt, quit living under that rock, and play some games that are actually worth mentioning. I love how DS owners come in and list their games though and how much better they are, and they only list like 5 or 6 of them (always the same ones), but PSP owners can list games almost non stop..as I could keep going if I wanted to.... FFVII Crisis Core, Monster Hunter Freedom 2, Jeanne D'Arc, Chili Con Carnage, Call of Duty, Salamander, Gradius Collection, Silent Hill, WTF, etc...etc...etc...

# each to their ownGuest 2007-04-14 05:26
I happen to own both a DS and a PSP, and whilst the PSP may be technologically superior to the DS, the truth is PSP games suck. Mostly PSP games are just scaled down PS2 games.



I reckon the majority of PSPs sold today are due to the effort put in by the likes of DAX, the Noobz team, etc. But it has been proven that hardware specs and hackability don't sell consoles like having a library of good software to go with it. This happens to be the case with the DS, not everyone uses homebrew/ISOs like the most of us here, but is those who don't that are the majority and they just play games, simple as that.



Nintendo's theory on how they would market the Wii has worked, sell a console at nearly or less than half the price of its competitiors, add a bucketload of games and you will get sales. The same you could say applies to the DS.



Whilst the DS may not be as good for homebrew like the PSP, it doesn't have those master hackers we PSP owners have all come to worship as true gods.



And also add the fact PSPs can have homebrew running at zero cost without having to fork out for flashcarts and passcards, like you need for the DS. You also need memory cards like you do with a PSP, but last time I checked, SD/CF cards are still s***loads cheaper than MS Pro Duos.



But like it was said each machine has its merits, and all you fanboys can just eat s*** and die for all I care. It is more than likely most fanboys have never tried other consoles, even though they claim to, they are just natural born tossers and nothing will ever change that, ever.

iunno man, owned a couple of psps and returned them all... got bored even with the homebrew, mgs was pretty fun tho, noobing people online with the knife hahaha



gonna give the ds a try... can't go wrong when tons of friends have it, with the m3 coming and a couple of microsd's.... pretty sure theres gonna be a lot of games to play



monster hunter got pretty boring solo.....i guess watching movies are good... tho i never use it, got an mp3 player, got a laptop, psp browser sucks anyways



i believe calling other people with different interests kids make YOU a kid



maybe i'll get a psp again for FF, the other games aren't really that great, outrun is pretty good



this is just one observation by one article... once again its sony's all-in-one against nintendo's weird concepts



it all comes down to who makes more money

the reason for this artical was to show that you DON"T need to argue over which handheld is better. For in the end BOTH rock the house in a way we can all love. DS and PSP are the real deal and I really think are going to top the masses over console gaming. Handheld world here we come ^^

if you think all PSP games are ports go look at Super Mario 64 DS, Star Fox DS, Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing. Have you noticed these were all games on N64 and AC was on Gamecube.

# @HAHA...Guest 2007-04-14 07:51
Continuation for the list. Blade Dancer(I love this game, so much fun), Avatar the last air bender, Exit, Rengoku(forgot how to spell that), Metal Gear Ac!d, Street Fighter Alpha Max, Naruto Ultamite Portable(Not realeased in US yet, but awesome game), Coded Arms(old but still fun), and of course the infamous Daxter has been listed, along with Ratchet and Clank, Guilty Gear, and the list just goes on. I'm getting tired of all the nintendo fans at my school, I am like the only sony person there. I'm not saying nintendo sucks, some games I like, but most of them I don't. I won't deny that Nintendo helped get gaming on it's feet, that it was like one of the first video game companies. That it came before Sony and Microsoft, but all the people that love nintendo use the fact that it came first as a reason to love it. Just because something started out doesn't mean you have to stay with it. The first TV's were in black in white, does that mean we stay with those kind of TV's and ignored colored and HD ones? Attena TV was before cable and satellite, does that mean we have to stay with that and have the crappy reception quality? Nintendo has sky rocketed in the next race of the next gen consoles with it's wii, but I don't care, I still plan on buying a PS3. Before sony and microsoft came along, yes, I played nintendo games. I played NES, SNES, N64. But when PS came out and the good games came rolling in, I started playing it and now I'm addicted to sony. The only reason I don't really like Nintendo consoles is because the games don't appeal to me. They're a bit too...kiddy for me. And it's the same stuff over and over again, Mario, Super Smash bros, something with mario, and more mario. It just gets old to me. I mean I always play Square Enix games, so of course I play the infamous Final Fantasy. Just because they keep on making them doesn't mean they use the same old stuff each time. They always have different story lines and all of that. A lot of sony games appeal to me more than nintendo. I'm sure there will be some nintendo people replying to shoot me -_-' But yea, I said it, I don't like nintendo games, they're not fun to me. Now I'm not saying all, I love Zelda, it's my favorite nintendo game. Ever since N64 I've played it. Also metroid. But those are the only reasons I would have to get a nintendo console so I just don't get them. Anyway, I'm done with my rant.

# heheheGuest 2007-04-14 08:10
if all of you think those games like GTA (can't think of anything more boring than this), socom, metal gear (can't understand the fuzz about this game), etc. are great, then you're definitely not on the same bus as I am.



I must give the pont for prince of persia, pro evolution, loco roco and some more, but most (I insist, most, not every piece) games on psp are crap. bad controls, awful arguments, poor graphics (remember? more poligons and better graphics has NOTHING to do).



I can hardly find time to play my favourite DS games but even if I try to give PSP an oportunity (I spent quite a lot of money on this stupid gadget with personality problems) it always leaves me disappointed.



play with your psps all you want, I'll be happily stuck with my DS.



PD: there's no way for Crash Brandisomething to ever reack MK's heels.

Well bad news for DS babies, the fact that PSP is superior can be proved with EMPIRICALLY evidence.



want proof?



as of 03-05-2007 at 07:16 PM in qj forums.

*THREADS: 66,112

*POSTS: 804,072



- QJ.Net Nintendo DS Forums (8 Viewing)

*THREADS: 2,300

*POSTS: 26,265



This should permanently STFU and GTFO the juvenile kindergarten of DS.



PSP QJ forums is reaching 100.000 posts and the astounding number of 1.000.000 POSTS!!! What does this tell you against the paltry numbers in DS forums? Means that PSP is MORE FUN, BETTER GAMES, MORE GAMERS USE IT. And this DEFINES ABSOLUTE SUCCESS of the PSP and the utter failure of the ds.



Need I say more to make DS babies give up their drunken rowdy little brawls?



I am pretty sure that this post will result in bitter feelings in many DS owners and cry more than a river. But don't despair!! There is still hope to your plight!! Please DS babies, is time to grow up! Thrash you crappy DS, save up some cash and get a PSP. The transition to MANHOOD will be a very rewarding espiritual journey.



Lastly whoever STILL has some crappy objection in the face of my crushing argument means that they choose F4GGHOOD.

# not on same bus as us eitherGuest 2007-04-14 09:13
Then you're not on the same bus as us either. Personally, like I said, nintendo games are to kiddy for me, I mean I'm 14 and they're too kiddy for me. I mean I know there are kids that are like 16 and my age and under that love nintendo but I don't. I just get bored playing most of their games. Anyway, just like you can't see whats so fun about metal gear and socom, I can't see what is so fun about mario games and super smash bros. We have different tastes, and that's that. Nothing to it, and apparently since your so disappointed with your PSP, you're just here to brag about your DS to proove that it is better. News flash, you're on a PSP news site, so most of the people that view this site are going to be sony fans(notice I said most, not all) and are just going to call you a DS fanboy, no one is going to listen. So it's pointless to come here and mess with people. Not trying to be mean, but we don't care. Those of us that go to this site for news on games or new homebrew, stuff like that, love are PSPs and will no matter what you say. That's the simple fact, we don't care.

That's what I tried to point out. It's simply rinse wash and repeat with nintendo. First gameboy with the greenscreen, then gameboy color. Then comes gameboy advance, oh look, here comes a better version, gameboy advance SP. Look, here comes DS....oh wait, sorry, you still got that big old brick? Get a life and get the new DS lite! And then before that, I believe there was the gameboy micro after the color or something and then the gameboy advance micro, not sure. Didn't really own gameboys. Anyway, they do the same thing every time. I mean, doesn't Super Mario and Mario Kart get old after like 5 systems?

# Trolling...why? You win nothing.Guest 2007-04-14 09:23
What is up with this disgusting pile of Sony fanboys coming in here trolling a DS thread of all things. I've seen this so many times over the last 12 years online with one vs the other, and in the end the ones doing the most ripping always are the ones with the inferiority complex.



So what if the DS doesn't have your favorite console games scaled down on the go. Personally many people would rather have something different, pick up and play, whatever...originality on the go. Not to say the PSP doesn't have it, but it didn't for the most part for quite awhile, and even now while there are enough games to merit the buy they aren't things that are so unique it screams got to have one to the average joe. This could somewhat well be said about the DS too so don't take such offense, but it does have going for it the unique control aspect when you find a game that uses it well. And even beyond that you do get those 1st and 2nd party titles you'd never see on a PSP, not many of those out of camp Sony as they've never been huge on that stuff mostly 3rd party.



Why not just agree to disagree and take the whiny crap and roll back over to the PSP site and have your fun there with it. Coming here to troll just shows you have issues and no matter what is said will NEVER convince someone to agree with you that doesn't already.

# You're ignorant as hell aren't you?Guest 2007-04-14 09:26
I'll give you SM64 DS, but Star Fox and Mario Kart are entirely unique sequels to a series. Star Fox is also a uniquely different type of game using the name down to stage planning and control (which to me sucked and I dumped it, but that's another issue.)



Try doing a little research before you start acting like an authority figure because you come off like a whiny ass.

# Uh....Guest 2007-04-14 10:03
Just want to say this is on the psp site too(so it's probably just an article merged on both sites). In the end it all really depends on what your taste in games is, not which one has more uniqe games or more scaled down games then the other. I mean, it just depends on what kind of games you like. If you like kiddy(not trying to be offensive, just how they are to me) interactive games, go with nintendo, if you like serious, violent, exciting, adrenalin(don't know how to spell that) building games go with sony. That's how it is with me, I used to play nintendo games before sony came along and they were fun to me then, but now they arn't really the funnest to me. I like games like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean: Till the end of time. But it won't really matter which console I choose since Square Enix is becoming more and more multiplatform. Anyway, Sony is just struggling lately. People say it's the price that is bringing the PSP down but I think that's just the little problem. I mean there are fun games already for it, I like most of them, but to other people(like read above), some think they stink. I mean sony is struggling with the PS3(which I want one, but it's too much money...I'm only 14, I can't save up $600. Hopefully they can find away to compact the parts or find a cheaper way of building the system. Maybe find a good way to mass produce it and they can probably knock it down to like $400. That's still a little expensive but it would be close to the 360's price. Anyway, I hope they find away to gain money instead of loosing it. Good luck sony.), so they can't focus soley on the PSP. If they could they should convince companies like Square Enix, Konami, and other popular ones to start producing quite a bit of games for it like the PS2, it was popular for quite a while. That's what the PSP is, basically a scaled down version of PS2 with a better CPU(well, it's set at 222MHz while the PS2 is 300MHz but like a lot of people do, the PSP is capable of 333MHz), and the XMB with more features. It's a portable better version, with the exception of the missing analog sticks and L2, R2, L3, and R3 buttons. But it can still be a good system. Sony just needs help getting on it's feet.

# Embarresed in publicGuest 2007-04-14 11:37
The DS looks like a toy, sounds like a toy, it IS a toy.



The PSP is a web browser, mp3 player, video dvd player, web browser, a camera (I have a chotto cam), and can be a GPS system. Oh, and it can do video games too, really frickin awesome games, as pointed out in the above posts.



I would never pull out a DS in public, it looks like a child's toy, something a nine year old gets for his birthday. The PSP looks like a miniature computer.



Moreover, the DS FEELS cheap. Yeah, I said it. I hate the plastic and the screen, it feels like that game boy I used to own until I replaced it with, oh I don't know... the Sega Game Gear?



Nintendo has always been lacking in the handhelds department when it comes to technology, when I think about it now. The Game Gear was better than everything up to the advance.



Game Boy - 1989 - Woo, look, an even better game and watch!

Game Gear - 1990 - Pwned in one year. Undefeated until the GBA.

Game Boy Color - 1998

Game Boy Advance - 2001 - Wait, what's that? No backlight? I guess you're not much better than the game Gear after all?

Game Boy Advance SP - 2003 - backlight



It took Nintendo 13 years to finally come up with something that definatevely pwned its competitor. 11, if you don't care about the backlight. Sega took one year.



Now fast forward to now.



DS - November 2004 - "haha, let's go pwn the portable games market, there's no competitor like last time!!11"

PSP - March 2005 - "pwnd k?"



The thing is, unlike last time Sony is making it work. Call thier adverts lackluster but they're sure doing a better job than Sega.



The point I'm trying to make after all this is that Nintendo always has the more inferior hardware and it's a shame people didn't give the other systems a chance, because like Beta and VHS, these other systems would have knocked the socks off any of Nintendo's systems.



Not anymore. Sony has been making headway, taking a big bite out of the handhelds market, and should Sony find the resources to make a second PSP and strap a cell phone to the side of it, they'd dominate the market.



Don't be another Sega, Sony. DOMINATE and kill off this sham company that claims to put out the better product. Oh and DS users, I'll understand if you yell at me. Jealousy tends to that with people.

The PSP feels too vulnerable. Whenever I pull it out i'm always scared of dropping it cause its gunna break mad easy. The DS feels more durable to drop because of its plasticy feel and the fact that it closes over the screen.

I could go on all day about why you skinheads suck but instead I will prove that every time you boot up your pc you are following a Jew's invention, the BASIC programming language. John Kemeny, a jew, invented the language as the first way an average consumer could own a computer in 1963. This pioneered the consumer PCs we have today. In the 80s, Microsoft sold BASIC for early PCs. BASIC evolved into diffeent dialects but is not used as heavily today. Without BASIC or John Kemeny for that matter, today's consumer computers would not be at the point they are today. If you really hate Jews so much, shut off your computer and never turn it on again as you are supporting a Jew's work.

I'd just like to point out that the Wii and the DS are now the best selling consoles around. Nintendo combined console sales 4 : 1 Sony combined console sales. There may be more PS2's around at the moment, but I guarantee if sales continue, that'll be it for a once good brand.

It's what's happening to Sony cos of their complete ignorance of the new generation's needs.

# Don't be Biased XDGuest 2007-04-14 16:56
I remember when the DS came out, and I decided to get it instead of waiting for Sony's PSP, and I've trusted the Nintendo handhelds for awhile. That right there directed me to be more biased against Sony once I saw the machine, claiming basically everything that wasn't true. For instance, I thought that nearly every game was a port- graphics were just barely better than a ps1 - it could only handle a 32 meg mem stick and your top 5 songs :P , and ect. Even the times they showed me their PSP's and games, I basically just shuned out the beauty it had to offer, and always told them crap like "Well, the psp may be "an okay system" the DS's touch screen and new great games are just way better than what the PSP has to offer." Anyways, I finally got one in June last year, and well, like many other DS fanboys say the other way around, I have rarely touched my DS since. Sure, I respect the handheld and the company that produced it, but when I had the choice to either get a DS Lite or a PSP, I decided, "Hey, I can get just a slight upgrade to what I got, or two handhelds to go with." And I was really looking forward to MGS:PO too.





So I got it along with MGA2 and Daxter, and I was basically blown away. Not only did the graphics exceed my expectations, but I was blown away with the crisp and clear audio it had, along with the beautiful, and quite big(for a handheld of course) LCD screen. All the other times I played one, I just ignored it and well, told myself DS was better. At times, I believe it was because of the price, and I thought I wouldn't be getting one, so I just looked straight passed it. Before I got it as well though, I heard it could play emulators for systems like Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo, but I also thought it was too good to be true. Alas though, with 1.5/Custom firmware, you can play tons of games, and since the end of Dec, PSX games as well. Come on, anyone who just owns a DS tell me you would rather be playing FF3 than FF7-9/Tactics/FF1-2-4-5-6....yeah, kinda thought not. It's the other features as well which I thought helped the portable experience become better with the PSP. I never owned an IPod, or really many other portable music/video/pic devices, so I loved the PSP that much more. The internet is good for some things as well on it, and although you may not be able to watch videos on a lot of sites, you can still browse and read around. Anyways, back to my original point.





Being biased for things, well, stupid. And although I may not use my DS as much, or at all anymore, it still has it's good points, but one of the really big reasons I wanted to switch to PSP is because DS didn't offer anything mature, aside from Resident Evil 1, which was a port with some new features for the DS(and of course you can play better on a PSP). With the MGS franchise, DBZ Budokai, and FF going with it, especially when it's like that of a PS2, along with a series of other great titles, it's hard not to like the PSP now. For those stuck in the past, please join us to the present. Seriously, for those so biased against it, please look up your facts first. The psp has tons of high quality titles, along with the DS. Now, what you can really argue about is what do you want more? I'm pretty sure that most DS users that claim to have owned a PSP really haven't at all.







Overall, I think with Custom Firmware, the PSP is overall better than the DS, but standard, it can still stack up against it. Anyways, what I'm bascially trying to say, is don't be biased like lots of people were with game gear. In fact, this reminds me so much of the Gameboy VS. GameGear war, but this time the competitor has a few more tricks up their sleves. Along with all that, for people still thinking the DS can do most of the homebrew features, no, just no. PSP can handle near full or perfect speed to NES/GENESIS/GB-C-A/SNES/NEOGEN-C/PSX/ect. But yeah, give each system a chance and all. I am looking forward to see how Pokémon Diamond/Pearl is for the DS, but right now, hot titles aren't going to be popping up as frequ

...as frequently for a little while, while PSP is turing up the heat, especially with Grand Turismo Mobile finally showing it's face to be released soon, along with Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core.



Yeah, sorry that took so long. In my final statement, I agree with the original statement XD. The PSP has a very fine library to choose from, with some more must haves coming out soon, and the DS does too, although the games just don't call out to me as much as the PSP's do.

# Im not impressed with the DS....so farGuest 2007-04-15 00:57
I bought a DS two months ago and so far I'm very disappointed with the games. I'm tired of spending money on games only to find out I don't like them. I've bought Superman, King Kong, Metroid, Castlevania and Splinter Cell. All sucked. I asked the guy at EBgames to suggest some good DS games and he showed me a goddamn Mario game. It's like hey dude, do I look like I'm 9 years old? I'm not done with the DS yet, Im going to try Hotel Dusk and see how that goes.



Ive ordered a psp though. The gameplay videos Ive seen for SOCOM, Metal Gear, GTA and others just blow away anything I've seen on DS. Not to mention the homebrew stuff looks way cool. I know the DS is more popular than the PSP but I just don't see how.

i wonder how the DS can be beating the psp. I thinks its the same thing that happened with the GBA. I used to be a Nintendo fan and had owned every single one of their consoles (very disappointed with my cube...) However i've aways been a portable man, so i loved my GBA the most. Yet i think that the gba was ultimately ruined by little kids! Its true it sold a ton but everywhere i go i saw 8 year olds playing it. Personally i got too emberaced to play it in public. And what annoyed me the most was that these stupid little kids would buy stupid titles like spongebob or barbie or watever. the same can be seen with the DS. Games like nintendogs and animal crossing are selling like hotcakes! And who buys them? Little kids (or adults living in the past...) The DS is for younger and simpler minds! The psp has taken the love i had for my gba (and i can still play gba games on there, "high five"-in borat accent). Also the ds price attracts parents, which buy it for their kids. i think that psp's are for the teen/young adult crowd. It's much too complicated for little kids and thats why it doent sell as well. But considering the audience it targets the psp is doing extremely well! And the new price drop will probably help it sell even better. This has been the rant of a teenager who hates little kids!

# The nintendo DSGuest 2007-04-19 08:36
Well. I have to say that I have both consoles. I have been to video games for over 30 years now, and more or less have every console in existence- And to be honest with you, the PSP is one of the most absolute, greatest consoles of all time, if not- the greatest.



I will start my rant. First, I bought a DS lite. A month after the year release- in fact. Why? I don't go for nintendo, because they have children's games everywhere. their adverts are annoying, and quite frankly, I prefer sony.



But this is not the reason that I am downing the DS. it has some relatively fun games, such as Star Wars:Episode III, Metroid: prime hunters and Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training(all which I have owned).



But, the DS is tacky. They break a lot easier than the PSP and this annoyed me. My problem, was that my instruction booklet for the console was for some reason in japanese, and the English language section didn't come with instructions on how to put the wristband on. So, I ended up putting it on wrong and then the console fell off of the wristband and it hit the floor with a thud. ={



Guess what happened? The hinge broke. the console still fully worked, it's just the hinge broke. and in about three months the console was reduced to nothing but a Gameboy Advance, because the top screen did not function anymore at all.



So, I had on broken DS lite and a shiny fully working PSP at the same time, and at this point I had a PSP for about a year. And surprisingly enough, it was shiny, and had hardly any scratches. So, the PSP is much more durable we know, now.



Secondly, the PSP is much better in terms of interactivity and can even be hacked into. Myself? I have custom firmware 3.03 OE-C, and I can run homebrew. normally, I can view pictures and watch videos, and listen to my favorite songs, and play brilliant release titles, such as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and LocoRoco, and Metal Gear Ac!d, the list goes on forever.



The DS on the other hand takes cartridges, Miniature cards in a matter of speaking, which are much easier to lose than UMD's(which the PSP takes) and can hold a hell of a lot less than UMD's too.



The DS may have one unique feature, it's touch screen, But the stylus is horrible to work with. if your stylus is damaged slightly on the tip, then it can heavily scratch your screen and seriously piss you off. It did me, and I only had it about 3 months!



The PSP has a lot more features. you can browse the net and even update to Sony's newest firmwares, or download custom one's and enjoy hacks. The pathetic DS cant even connect to a computer. It just isn't good.



PLUS- The forums are a *****load better on the internet for PSP than the ***** DS. The PSP is better.



And what the hell is this *****e about low battery for the PSP? All of us know that the PSP has about 6-8 hours of battery on it. the DS shouldn't even be used. so I think that the battery life arguments are just a waste of complete time, because the batteries in DS consoles shouldn't exist. Neither should the entire console, or even Nintendo.



So what do we now know? well, nintendo are crap and produce little kiddies games, whereas Sony are brilliant and produce amazing games, and R rated games, Gory games and don't annoy you with "It's me! Mario!" and "Pikachu! I choose you!". The PSP has a LOT more features and higher interactivity, the wireless feature is better, and there are more buttons to press, which = more fun.
