Hello Everyone,

Well, I finally gave in. I've bought a PSP White (to match my DS Lite White). I've been a big fan of my Nintendo DS and it's helped me fall in love with the whole aspect of portable games consoles, to be honest I've ownly ever owned a Nintendo GameBoy Colour and I never really played it. But I use my DS all the time and have played some superb games on it.

There is one big reason I've decided to get a PSP, it's simply a small popular game called Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. I'm a big MGS fan and have loved nearly every game that I've played in the series, I may even consider trying the Metal Gear Solid Acid games. My ownly real problem with the Nintendo DS is simply that it doesn't really provide enough media aspects, theres a small Pictochat program but it's nothing very special. But the DS is still a superb Console, thats why I've bought a PSP. I was amazed at some of the stuff people are doing with the PSP, I've even seen people use it to play PSOne games and it really looks as if it's got a lot of cool extras that Sony don't want us to be using. I've bought MGS: Portable Ops, Burnout Legends (big Burnout fan) and GTA: Vice City Stories. I've also bought a 1gb stick for people cool stuff on my PSP such as wallpapers and other stuff, although I'm not totally sure how much I will be able to put on there, How much music?

Anyway, looking forward to giving MGS a try.
Hopefully people will stop calling me a DS Fanboy, I'm no fanboy of any console and I actually feel that the DS and PSP are very different port consoles.

Good for you. I do not dislike the DS but right now, psp got the games to keep me happy. I may get a DS if it goes down to $80 for a new one. As for portable gaming, I really like being able to bring my game every where like visiting relatives. So when I get bored, I just pull out the psp and get around 6-7 hrs of play on it. I use it on travels too. Or when I am the passenger instead of the driver, I pull it out for long drives. Anyway, looking at 2007, it seems like psp get a lot more rpg come its way. There is a couple of good ones out already. Right now, I am playing Lost Regnum. Seems cool for now.

Seriously dude I got my psp for my b-day back in september, It is the 4th greatest thing to me(behind the bible and the computer and we i dunno my life perhaps) I didn't put tv there because I've downloaded nearly every episode of family guy, futurama., Aquateens and I have my psp on at least 6 hours a day every day, even weekdays when I'm at school. Even when I'm not playin games i'm listening to music or watching movies, or animes, or family guy, and when my mom takes the computer away, i can always surf the web with my PSP. I love this thing. But the DS is pretty cool too, my friend has a pass card so he can download any game free

you wont fit much music on 1 gig, especially with all the game saves and whatnot. id say around 200 songs or so, its a decent amount though.Call_me_Daddy


lol you guys really love the DS deep down don't ya :D

200 songs is easily enough for me, in fact I never have that amount on my IPod Nano. I'll probably only have a few songs on my IPod, depends on what music I'm listening to at the time. I've been doing quite a bit of research into the PSP and I'm finding some of it confusing, everywhere I look there seems to be stuff about downgrading your PSP which doesn't make much sense. I think for now 1GB Memory Stick will be enough for me, but will probably get a bigger one in a couple of months time. As for games, well to be honest I do love some of the games found on the Nintendo DS but I'm also a sucker for great looking games like Burnout and MGS: Portable Opts. To be honest the biggest appeal of the PSP was simply that it was a little media centre (something dearly missing from the DS).

I agree with the media things, and i like the games for psp. DS games are usually just for wifi or its not as fun IMO, and my wifi doesnt work...otherwise i'd probably really like the DS still

Agreed and so what if the ds has 2 screens. They are 2 TINY screens.  However PSP is in complete widescreen.

Nintendo Fanboys always seem to be around trolling threads about happy newly PSP Owners, I`m REALLY starting to think that those DS boys are JEALOUS because they made the WRONG desition on buying the DS instead of the PSP and try to DEFEND to DEATH the Piece of sh!t DS, trying to make outstanding the additional Screen ( not exactly needed) and the Touchscreen ( OVERRATED), and claim the PSP LACKS those 2, but the truth is PSP doesn`t need them, so is just childish to say that the PSP sucks because of that, when actually the DS sucks because DOES NOT use Dual nor Touchscreen at it`s best, the second screen is just a map, how aweasome is that???

The only problem sony is having is the price of its consoles. Once the price of psp or ps3 is cut we would see many people eating their words. The PS3 & PSP are expensive but they are not only for gaming.

psp isn't expensive at all my brother. the ps3 is, but well worth it since it can last you at least 5 years of gaming rather than a expensive computor.And ps3 games are fully customised to suit the ps3, which would make full use of the psp's power! about a computor...you'll need to manually configure ur settings urself.

i just my psp also. i got it with GTA liberty city stories. all i can say is WOW!! i was completely blown away by it. it looks and plays like any other GTA games...only now it's on a handheld!! WOW!! i'm completely satified with my purchase...no regrets. IMHO, psp blows ds right out of the water. i bought a ds lite when it first came out. but i subsequently returned it because i didn't like the way it feels and the ds games that i played were pretty disappointing.

Thats how i feel about the DS. just havent sold it yet. Trying to give it to a friend for his PSP :P
