What everyone seems to neglect about this part of the PSP is how crappy these features are.

I concur; as pointed out in a review, who the hell wants to spend 2 hours watching a movie on a tiny screen? Not to mention the high price tag for the privelege of doing do. The only PSP game I have the slightest interest in is Darkslayers, but Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on my good ol' Dreamcast substitutes just dandy.

honestly you should probably read up somewhere else, but id make the decision in about 6 months, compare prices then, who knows, psp might get agressive in pricing.
in addition, ds will have a better library (as well the psp) allowing somewhat better comparison

I vote the DS, but I'm a slight Nintendophyle. (Otherwise known as a Nintendo whore)

I just don't think sony knows how to make handheld games, and I wouldn't touch my PS2 if every good RPG wasn't for it. And Prince of Persia, I have that one too.

salada:
thanks for the tips everyone.

on conducting some further research (i.e. bugging nerdy friends about it), i have come up with the following:

- PSPs aren't actually out in australia yet. i swear japan had them about a year ago, dammit. currently only available here from importers for AUD$350-400(!!!)

- one of my friends thinks nintendo is going to go down the gurgler soom, due to lack of support from many 3rd party developers. this claim is rebutted by other nerdy friend who says nintendo are quite well off financially, and their games always sell a jillion copies anyway, so it won't be a problem.

- battery life in the PSP is apparently only 2-3 hours per charge atm. also, they take their own non-proprietary format for optical media, so i can't burn movies/music onto little 8cm DVDs. the other option. memorystick duos, are apparently quite expensive atm.

- there will most likely be a GTA for PSP (this makes it a very tempting option...).


leaning towards the DS at the moment - cheaper, graphics are still ok (never really been a graphics fiend anyway, not really a serious gamer), don't really want to watch movies on a tiny screen (powerbook's a much better option), and it's actually available to buy here, now. (i just hope developers use the stylus control in intelligent ways / at all - i have this fear that they won't though).

Johnny C:
Nintendo are carried so much by their own games, but I mean, put up your hands if you see a problem with that.
