• Very sleek.
• I love that there isn't a uniformly sized memory stick that you are forced to use (like the PS1 15-slot ones or the PS2 8MB ones).
• I love that you use little memory sticks to store game demos, downloaded games, and game saves.
• Portable PS1 games are so awesome.
• Crisis Core had me at hello. Talk about a great first impression of what the PSP is capable of.

Now that I own a PSP, I'm starting to think upon that whole "PSP vs. DS" argument. I mean, I've been a very active DS gamer since its launch and it's been great. The DS has too many great games for the average person to afford. But then its competition displays far superior graphics, can let you create as many gamesaves as you want, and does lots of other things I probably haven't even discovered yet. How is this possible?! On paper, it seems like the PSP should be on top, if not by just a little. The answer is simple: very accessible games designed to be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. That's how Nintendo usually wins out.

I can give more credit to Sony now, though. They've got a really great handheld.

Now one can only hope that Nintendo's next gen handheld has a freakin' analog stick and GOOD 3D graphics (hopefully) akin to the Gamecube's, but better. I'm kind of getting sick of the fact that Nintendo systems never boast as good a graphics machine as their competition and the fact that DS owners must contend with clearly inferior versions of games being released on multiple platforms. Why the heck does that have to be the case?
