Okay, that was a nice read, but it doesn't explain questions 1, 2, 3, 4, and doesn't really answer 5 either! now someone else help me out here! As for your second of all and reposting for 3rd, i asked a simple few questions and you came out with that? what for? Actually, all I read, was people arguing about which system is better! In MY OPINION, PSP is the better deal because it has great graphics (assuming it has PS2 graphics) and it seems to have better quality for a wallet-lightening price! The DS has great games to, but they lost it with the stylus, which would only be good for sending notes in class. Although they are COMPETING COMPANIES PEOPLE!!! of course there are going to be better things on one system and better battery life on the other. That is business, you don't make money by remaking something and giving it a different name.


P.S. to the jack ass that said the SNES was the worst nintendo system ever, you had to have been smoking crack, because if you asked 90% of the older gaming generation, they will say they have the fondest memories of games like street fighter and Aerofighters, and the (god your an idiot) great RPG's like Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Chrono Trigger, FF whatever they were here, and many others. You could probably ask the CEO's at Sega (thier leading and ONLY competitors at the time) they had one hell of a system. Why do you think sega makes most of their games for Nintendo now instead of Sony or Microsoft.The saying goes, "If you can't beat them, join them!" and they did pretty much that. You should be banned to an eternity of hell, blackness, and just plain emptiness for that remark. GOD WHAT AN IDIOTIC RETARD!!!

P.P.S. I believe the only other competition was the Panasonic 3DO, which was the Super Nintendo with the CD quality of the PS. Actually it was an early PS, and they could keep up with the cartridges of Nintendo. How Sony did it was a miracle, but hey I am glad they did.

P.P.P.S The only reason Sony came out with the PSP is because someone had taken apart a PS and made it into a handheld (back-lit screen, fully analog controller built-in, and other qualities) That took original PS games. He didn't want to sell it to them for some reason (they didn't want to pay the royalty fees) and they wanted to comeout with the first handheld that plays CD's, so if they suceed, they get all the profits, and if they fail, then no one wants to buy another CD handheld if the first one failed in so many places.

Thanks for any help you have, and know that I don't hate either system, and I will actually probably buy both. That is the point of EXCLUSIVE GAMES!!!

Yeah but read the first post it says the prices and stuff like that.

Draco, none of that information is confirmed for the North American release. Expect the handheld itself to cost $199 and the games to cost $49.

As for the graphical power, at it's best, it's capable of displaying PS2-quality graphics. As for having your old PSX games "transferred", no I'm not sure that would work. It's two completely separate mediums and two completely separate types of coding between PS1 games and the PSP hardware. Plus, the PSP reads DVDs about the size of a Gamecube disc, so a PS1 or PS2 disc wouldn't even fit. Unless Sony intends to release some sort of PS1-player peripheral (which would honestly be friggin' retarded), I wouldn't get my hopes up if I was you.

Damn, and double damn! Thanks anyway, but what do you mean about it not having an internal fan (other PSP thread somewhere)?? And the PS1-player doesn't sound too bad, being as Nintendo...Nevermind. Anyways, in other news...OOHH OOHH OOHHHH GOT A QUESTION FOR EVERYONE OUT THERE!!!

Okay, the DS/PSP comes out, and you really want it. You would like to have it right then, but it comes with a single demo, and the games you really really want don't come out for another 3 months. What do you do?
Do you...
A.) Trade in your Gamecube with a Gameboy Advance player, your entire library of like 20 games, all 4 controllers, all your memory cards, and your Gameboy Advance SP, your library of about 10 games, and SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL?(DS)
Trade in your Playstation 2 with the Internet connection, Your library of like 50 games, all your memory cards, and everything else that goes to a PS2(PSP)
B.) Wait til you earn the money and buy it.

C.) Wait til the price drop that is bound to happen, as it does around next christmas, usually.

If you chose A, then you are like this other kid I saw when I went to my local Game Crazy! AND HE STILL DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH!!! He was off about 2 dollars for the DS, and they just said screw it, here, we'll pay the 2 bucks, we feel so bad for you. everyone was like, "DAMN, what a retarded kid!! He traded all that just for a hanheld!"
If you chose B, then you are pretty smart, and if you chose C, then you are smarter than B, but they are still about the same because both are better than A, the idiot!
