Nintendo DS vs Sony PSP

OK, i think that comparison threads a good, as long as reviews and comments are un-biased. Please, review your information before posting it to make sure it is accurate. Even better, post a link to the source.

What are your thoughts? What do you think is "better"? Please, share.

I personally would have to go towards PSP. I have both a nintendo ds and a psp.

I have a DS but I dont have a PSP. I heard PSPs plays MP3 and i'm more into playstation than Nitendo so I vote for PSP!

I like sony's ways of putting all the features they can into small packages.

Although I like the PSP, I would rather dig for DS. It is way cheaper than PSP
In SG where i live, the stall sells it for $200. PSP sells more than $300 hmm

I don't own the psp, but I have the Nintendo DS.
Would the psp be cheaper, I'd buy it immediately, cause of the larger and beter display and better games mainly - so I vote for psp^^

The psp is more expansive because it offers you more than just gameplay. If you want more for your buck, psp is the way to go. you can't say you don't like the psp just because you can't afford one, correct?

Also, video playback, pic viewing, some applications can be ran, the UMDs are also avalable as movies, not just games... WiFi browser is pretty nifty [donno if DS has that]. In essanance, an expandable portable media player, that can get up pretty high in storage, providing you have the cash for a SD card.

psp uses memory stick. if you have the right version, running unsigned code is pretty easy and fun. I got v1.5 = homebrew!

ds has a opera browser but it is right now only in japan.

SD card is a memory stick of sorts. Just comes in a lotta sizes... from 64MB to 128GB. Not sure if it'll support that size, but, yes. Also, noted that the PSP is designed to work with their own memory cards, note that the SD card DOES work with the PSP, as I have access to one, and have transfered data from a PC to the unit.

SD Card info

The card itself

Info on the 'MagicGate' memory stick

And image of the card I'm referring to. Note the size similarities.

psp will not work with a sd card. sony designed it to only work with a memory stick, so that they would sell more of them. the memory stick has 10 contacts on it while sd only has 9...

Hazarath · Feb 09, 2007 6:08 PM

Guess his unit's faulty. o.O

Spyrorocks · Feb 09, 2007 11:57 PM

or he's full of BS.

Hazarath · Feb 10, 2007 2:08 AM

I helped purchase the card for the unit... the 1GB stick was on sale, however, they had some 2GB SD cards, so, he went with it... I'm pretty darn sure. As soon as he and I are awake, I'll make sure that my findings are false or true.

Spyrorocks · Feb 10, 2007 2:40 AM

I have both a 1gb and a 2 gb memory sticks. I have a 1gb sd card too, and it WILL NOT fit.

Hazarath · Feb 10, 2007 3:05 AM

Look, I just had a look, it's not true, I was gonna revoke my comments, and back down my argument... what got me going originally, is that it's NOT made by Sony, the card we got him, but SunDisk, inc. However, it has the 'Memory Stick Duo' on it, so, I prolly thought it was a standard SD card, seeing as SunDisk makes SD cards too. So, once again, I stand down my argument. I even mentioned that in my last post that I was gonna verify, so... yeah.

Anywho, PSP is better. Fin.

do you mean "Sandisk"? I have never seen a 3rd party memory stick...

Hazarath · Feb 10, 2007 3:32 AM

Potato, pototo. Sorry, it's SanDisk, and here you go for a reference pic:

I know nothing of psp, LOVE my brand-spanking new DS, so naturally, I vote DS.

Spyrorocks · Feb 10, 2007 7:33 PM

you can't simply say that option A is better when you have never tried option B.

Cyril · Feb 10, 2007 8:47 PM

another reason why i don't buy the psp is, that my mother hates the playstation...
I'm not allowed to have any sony playstations...that's stupid...but she doesn't have anything against nintendo^^

Paranoia · Feb 10, 2007 9:24 PM

What does she have against PlayStation? XBox is worse. All rated M games. Nintendo is the system that has mostly E games.

I don't really have an opinion, because I don't have a DS, or PSP. I've never really gotton into handheld games.

Spyrorocks · Feb 10, 2007 9:35 PM

i dont know why someone would be against playstation... did they make her mad at support or something?

Cyril · Feb 11, 2007 8:43 AM

i don't know - but i think the main reason why is, that she's a teacher, and want's that i don't be distract of my schoolwork...
thats what I imagine...or that there are very brutal games for the ps, so that she only allows nintendo stuff. a typical dialouge:
I: can i buy myself a psp or a ps2?
Mother: No, you've so many other plastations of nintendo - and everytime you want a new one...
I: but..
Mother: no, never!
I: And can I buy a wii?
Mother: when you've the money for, ok...

Strange, I know....

Spyrorocks · Feb 11, 2007 9:12 AM

very odd....

Cyril · Feb 11, 2007 9:33 AM

you say it^^ - and I'm not allowed to play computer and stuff during the week - sounds cracy, but's true^^ - but back to topic again now...
