The PSP is great but it only gets great after alot of money, here is the essentials for a PSP.

1)   Case, you have to have a case for the PSP no traveling with out it, and make sure it has some decent room for UMD's

2)   USB cable, and car adapter, if your going to play in the car

3)   1 or more 1 GB or larger memory sticks, (need to be able to fit music & videos on it).

4)   Several UMD games, forget the movies, however to expensive!

5)   Good pair of headphones.

 With all those accessories the PSP becomes a compentent portable entertainment system. However the problem with the PSP as a portable entertainment system is this. 1) It's a decent media player, but other media players are just so much better, Ipods, have playlists, and the likes, the PSP is a bit clumsy when it comes to media playback, and is incovience, to use sometimes. PSP does play some good games, but you can find most on the PS2, and on the PS2 they naturally play better, bigger screen, better graphics. The PSP could be a serious contender, if they would put some unique software on this thing. The hardware is far superior to the DS, but the software sucks compared to the DS.

 The DS accessories so far are as follows

1)   Headphones

2)   Games

 The DS's clamshell design eliminates the absolute need for a case, it also runs longer per charge so you can ditch alot of charging options, the games play smother becuse of the cartridge based media. The software feels unique and well suited for mobile gaming, and is different from full sized console fair.

I love the PSP and I really want to get one. Much better overall value. Better looking games, movies, music ... you can't beat it for $170 bucks. I used to own a DS and while it is pretty nice, it's too small and the games are not that great. No sports games and it's a kiddie console in my eyes. I love Nintendo do don't think I am bashing them. I just wish they would do more with the DS.

WTF?! DS appeals to everyone, hence the massive sales. PSP appeals to angst teenage boys and no one else. Hence why so few people buy it or it's porty games.

your serious gamers only seem to buy one of 2 games for the psp. (attach ratios are low)

DS gamers buy way more.(6)

just get it over with and change your avatar to a cow.

Says you, mister UK has no army. o.o

DS does what it does best. Handheld gaming. PSP, though a good entertainment device, completely fails as a handheld console.

Although I like the DS more, I've been playing my PSP more often recently.  Ever since Sony introduced being able to play PS1 games on it, I've been hooked on that.

Well, he's right. The UK has an army, not England. I hate it when people assume the UK is England. British Nationalism FTW.

I feel the opposite, all I see on the PSP are watered down PS2 ports, the DS at least has original fun games, and for movies and music I have an Ipod video so why do I need a PSP

Wow another ports argument.

Here's the breakdown of ports on the PSP:

Ports: 26% (31 of 117)
Non-Ports: 74% (86 of 117)
* as of January 2007, only games with a score of 70% or higher are counted *
Source: http://xevon.awardspace.com/thepsphasnogames/a07.html

Amazing, will you look at that? 74% of the PSP's GOOD games are NOT ports. Go figure.

Well the funny thing is I have a psp and all the games are remakes and ports. I'll list them  sims 2, megaman maverick hunter x, star wars battle front 2, marvel ultimate alliance, marvle nemesis, and spider man 2. Then I have about 3games that aren't ports.

Well if you look at the PSP's game, they're all the same things you can get on the PS2, Tekken, MGS, tons of sports games, socom, etc. that there is nothing original, I mean I own a PS2, why wouldn't I play those games there, with the DS it has great games that cannot be found on the consoles, elite beat agents, hotel dusk, Nintendogs, Pheonix Wright, etc.

The stats I posted didn't include multiplatform games as ports, otherwise you could claim that the DS is also full of them.
The only one for sure I know is a port in the list that you gave is Megaman... and maybe Sims2, the rest are multiplats.

Amazing, will you look at that? 74% of the PSP's GOOD games are NOT ports. Go figure.

 

I like how the sight just says most are not ports and leaves it at that and does not bother listing any of the non-ports.

What are some of the ports then?

Well the funny thing is I have a psp and all the games are remakes and ports. I'll list them  sims 2, megaman maverick hunter x, star wars battle front 2, marvel ultimate alliance, marvle nemesis, and spider man 2. Then I have about 3games that aren't ports.




It's not our fault you buy bad games.

The stats I posted didn't include multiplatform games as ports, otherwise you could claim that the DS is also full of them.

 

Perhaps but the DS has its own unique games and game types that the consoles don't have, the PSP is a portable PS2 and lacks those original games

Well if you look at the PSP's game, they're all the same things you can get on the PS2, Tekken, MGS, tons of sports games, socom, etc. that there is nothing original, I mean I own a PS2, why wouldn't I play those games there, with the DS it has great games that cannot be found on the consoles, elite beat agents, hotel dusk, Nintendogs, Pheonix Wright, etc.

Oh and I suppose Lumines (at the time), Killzone: Liberation, Daxter, Field Commander, Tokobot, Loco Roco, Exit, Metal Gear Acid 1 and 2, etc. can be found on other consoles?

PSP does play some good games, but you can find most on the PS2, and on the PS2 they naturally play better, bigger screen, better graphics. The PSP could be a serious contender, if they would put some unique software on this thing. The hardware is far superior to the DS, but the software sucks compared to the DS.

Wow another ports argument.

Here's the breakdown of ports on the PSP:

Ports: 26% (31 of 117)
Non-Ports: 74% (86 of 117)

OK, enough with this "ALL/MOST psp games are ports" crap,  the psp has overall 245 games, and as you can clearly see from mahjustin's post ..only  26% of the 117 highest rated psp games are ports.  And only  23% of all  the 245 are PORTS.

The DS's clamshell design eliminates the absolute need for a caseXYZVector
The cartridges are so small and easy to lose though, Trust me it's wise to get a pouch for the DS as well.

PSP owns DS so hard it's not funny. No serious gamer plays any Nintendo products. They aim everything at freaking kids!! Everyone cites RE4.....worst example ever....a game that went to PS2 and came out after GC died.

NextGenNow
Oh, so you're saying Nintendo's aiming games at you, right ? You are the reason why kids shouldn't drop out of school. No joke. If you could do 1+1=2, you'd understand that the numbers show you are 100% (let me simplify: 100% = 1/1) wrong. So... seriously... why do you write things like that if you know they'll make you look plain bad ???
Saying Ds is outselling like saying there are more pennies than dollars....yes but i'd rather have dollars...who needs candles when you have broken headlights....NextGenNow
WRONG. It's more like you can have 1,000 canadian dollars (the PSP) or 9,000 euro's (the DS). If you actually feel like the PSP has more value, then there's a very simple explenation: you're not in it for the games. have a nice day, movie watcher.

Like I said, another killzone game, another couple of MG games, a ripoff of Advance wars, etc. those alsong with sports and racers are what make up the majority of the PSP lineup, yes there are a few new IPs and original stuff, but those are the minority by far, the DS on the other hand has a bunch of original stuff

Another Mario Kart game.
Another Advanced Wars rehash.
Another Mario 2D platformer.
Another Metroid Prime...


The only games that are truly original on the DS are Nintendogs, Phoenix Wright and Elite Beat Agents.
The rest is just rehash and sequels like every other console in the history of gaming.

Just because the DS' graphics aren't on par with the GC's (like the PSP and the PS2), doesn't mean that it's a totally new experience from what we've played before.

Oh man... rip off of Advance Wars? A couple of MG games? another Killzone game?!

If you are going to argue like that, why don't I just say stuff like Nintendogs is a Tamagotchi ripoff? Phoenix Wright games were ALL PORTS from the GameBoy Advance? The only thing you have left are Elite Beats and Hotel Dusk, pretty much everything else can be found on another console or is a port. Mario Kart, Super Mario, Yoshi, Metroid, Castlevania, Trauma Center, Final Fantasy III, Cooking Mama, etc

So because you're a... "Serious gamer" you haven't played any Nintendo exclusive games? Wow, I really feel sorry for you.

Hotel Dusk, Brain Training, Picross, Professor Layton, etc. are all original

What is your guys favorite refrain about Mario being rehashed, same thing should apply to the other brands that are reused Oh Hotel Dusk can be found? Professor Layton and the mysterious village? And Trauma center and Cooking mama were on the DS first
