Re: PSP vs DS
Hi there,
I'm far too old to be a fan boy! So here's my unbiased view
I really think it depends on what you plan doing with the machine. If it's just purely games, then it's down to which system has the most games you like. But if you want to consider other functions you may use the machine for:-
PSP:
-MP3 player built in
-Photo slide show facility built-in
-Web Browser (not brilliant, but OK) built in
-RSS Podcast facility built in- NOW THIS IS GOOD. It has a Timer feature that brings it out of sleep mode in the early hours, connects to your wireless netowrk and downloads your chosen list of audio / video podcasts. I use this feature every night.
-USB connectivity. Use the PSP as an external drive to your PC for backing up files, moving data between PC's etc.
-View text files, html files offline by storing them on the memory card.
PLUS:
The latest firmware update has now unleashed the FULL power (333mhz) of the processor. Previously limited to 266 I believe
PS1 library of games coming to the PSP by the end of the year.
Tons of free online magazines to download and read on the PSP.
The list just goes on.
Summary: The PSP is a very versatile multi-media device. I find it so much more than just a games console.
NOTE: I am in no way putting the DS down. I just think that they are two totally different machines for different markets.
