The DS looks like a toy, the PSP looks like some kinda new cool high tech gadget.

I haven't really been paying attention to these things, but can the PSP play DVD movies? That'd be sweet.

the PSP is running off of this enlosed mini-dvd called UMD (Universal Media Disc).

if they could easily start porting movies to that format, but the psp won't be able to play any dvd off the shelf

i hate to say it, but i think nintendo f*cked themselves by going with this dual-screen gimmick. i also think the PSP is going to bury the DS.

Nintendo has the PSP beat in price. The system is $150 and the games are $30. The PSP is $300 and games are $50. That's the only factor that would make people buy a DS.

Hands down, the PSP is a better machine.

I haven't played either system, but I disagree anyway.

Nintendo DS is a really interesting, well-executed idea for the next generation of portable gaming. The integrated wireless and touch screen are brilliant ideas, and the reviews that I've read have been favorable.

The PSP seems like a good system as well, but how do you qualify it as a "better machine?" What makes it better?

Game boy advance games work in it, it's got bright screens, games are inexpensive, but to me it seems like mostly rich kids will have the wireless thing.

That Sony machine does look better overall I think, but it really is too bad that it can't do more.
Of course if it could play PS1, PS2, DVDs, music, and whatever else it would have to be bad for sales of the PS2s and stuff.
