For those Nintendo Fans concerned about the Stylus, I found out that there is a Thumb pad that allows you to use in place of a stylus, so you can just move your thumb.

(Go read the review at ign.com)

I like the PSP graphics and PS1 was my first console so I will probably stick with it. I also got interested in Nintendo GBA, but I was a bit disappointed at not having a backlight, that kinda pointed me away from nintendo.

My uncle is a VP agt nintendo so I got a chance to play the DS last night (Nov 14th) Awesome graphics, good control and sound. Ill end up buying both it and PSP for variety of titles. One really cool feature is that it remains in standby always so when someone enters the 30 ft radius+ it will beep telling you that you can challenge them / go multiplayer without knowing the person. This could prove a small problem with airplanes however…because since it cant turn off completely it might be banned from planes…

i think the DS is going to be great!
it will definately over power the psp with its caperbilities, for 1 i think sony are losing out, they are basically overloading there device with too much features like mp3, camera and dvd. i mean WOW talk about extra exsagurating. it will be a good hardware but nintendo r right, its not a games console.

first of all–kevo i agree with you. ps and ps2 SO did not rip games off but don’t pop your head open complaining about it jeez. also steve have you ever thought how much that would cost? the sp costs 70 BUCKS! you would have to wait forever to get the ds to $80, and by then sony and nintendo would have come out with about 30 more consoles by then.

Oh yeah, another thing, some of you posters are super freaks. You guys like post your replies as if you were TALKING to the DS. Here’s some news, the DS is not a living creature. It’s not going to talk back, so don’t talk to it.

Whoever stated: “DS is going to be certainly the best system for at least the next 3 years.

I hate Sony for Taking Nintendo’s creation-”The Nintendo Sony Playstation”-and making it their own.They stole Nintendo’s ideas and knowledge of gaming……jerks.

Calm Down….

”
WHAT in the HELL are you talking about?! Sony never stole from nintendo! Nintendo is meant and directed towards family games. Sony is about the music, gta, resident evil(which ORIGINALLY came out with it ), and so forth, you queer. As far as the size go, who gives a dam if it can fit in your pocket. Anything that plays 360 degree, color, high tech graphics, online multiplayer, etc. should be fine with anybody else. If not, your own personality is being a whiny, complaining, consumer eatin’, person that is never satisfied! Nobody says you have to take a side with one of the two companies ( unless of course they seriously sold a piece of garbage…literally ) then yeah, go ahead, open your big mouth. Let me tell you something, there is no war here, okay?

As for the positive side goes, I’m getting both the psp AND the ds, because I believe they will both do good, because the are the first handhelds that could handle the power of playing 360 degree high resolution graphics and a little dinky machine, and THAT is what I’ve been waiting for since I was 10, and it’s good enough for me. The time has come…

im a nintendo and sony fan but i think the DS will be better than the psp.. sorry sony but nintendo has owned the handheld position way too long.. nintendo has a lot more experience and has almost always had succses with handhelds.. dont get me wrong the psp looks good too, ill probably purchase both.. but im guessing the DS will be better

Oh yeah and PSP has some good games coing out too like THUG and Need for Speed:Underground. The game list might not be as exstensive as the DS but those are some awesome games.

PSP has the new Final Fantasy game(Advent Child wichis the continue of FF7) wich I would gladly buy the PSP for just that game. But then I found out about the PSPs 2 hour bettery life and decided I wanted a DS

Cool DOOD — Fri, 05 Nov 2004 16:57:38 +0000

The DS will be a huge success…..HUGE! It has upstepped psp with a lot of things, more screens(lol), larger library of games (all gba games), touch screen, Wifi ability, and majority of people prefer to get it. Oh and the price…… it’s self explanitory

PS: for all u lefties out there, u can make the abxy buttons act as the d-pad

PSS: There was nothing wrong with the virtual boy! So what if it gave people seisures…………

sony and microsoft are just so goddamn’ mainstream… gah.. grow up. (had to say it)

i truly do think the psp looks great. but i’m not into the performance thing.. i like the idea of creativity like voice recognition and touchscreens… ds seems like a damn smart construction!

and concerning those who believe that the ds just will become a handheld n64. remember this:
“The only restrictions that games suffers from are the developers. NOT the systems!”

Go Nintendo! lead the way in jungle of gamingexperience!

Ds or PSP… Ds or PSP… I chose Ds Sony sucks (exept for making tv’s) The ds has everything You need and ive heard that you can make wireless phone calls for free on this thing with certain hook up( only in certain areas) can anyone confirm this?

By: zardoz

zardoz — Thu, 28 Oct 2004 20:27:31 +0000

Hey, all of you complaining about the difference of the performance between psp and ds, think twice! When using processors that generates 3d graphics on such small screens as 3′, you can lower the resolution far more than when you are viewing it on the tv. The psp has a larger screen and more powerful processor, and such it will draw much more battery power. Game designers today are good at using minimum performance to create marvellous results! Just look at what Rare did with the donkey kong series to the snes.
The nintendo ds will ROCK, and psp will remain a bleak imitaion… sorry sony- there can only be one winner!

I don’t think you could call it “easily” unless you are wearing cargo pants. I mean the DS is still kind of big. It’s certainly not GBA SP, that’s for sure. Now that little thing can definitely slip “easily” into just about any pocket.

By: Guest

Guest — Tue, 26 Oct 2004 21:56:36 +0000

OMG think about it.
The reason why ur getting a portable system is so u can play it anywhere and enjoy playing anywhere. It would be kinda hard to keep a PSP in ur pocket cuz its so big. Whereas the nintendo ds just slips in ur pocket easily.

I want the DS but the stylus thing is bothering me. I’m left handed you see. Most developers don’t think about us lefties. I hear some games will use the stylus for aiming like they do in Metroid. This means that they are probally assuming that the player will use his/her right hand for aiming and left hand for moving.

I have some more info it will play need for speed undreground, mario cart, spider man 2, resident evil, and 120 more games. Thats’s why the DS is going to be hot. I’ll tell you guy/gals if I get more info on the ds or if i get info on the psp. I’am out!
