I want both dont get me wrong, but i forsee more potential problems with the PSP than with the DS.
1. Big screen with no cover means big scratches. For a guy like me who doesnt even carry a wallet, thats not good.
2. Though discs have more capacity and capabilities than "game cards," one will also have to carry a little pouch. I always enjoyed just being able to toss some GameBoy games into my pocket. But CDs are too easily scratched/broken.
3. CDs also make need for an external storage system, and with no hard drive, memory sticks are the only way to go, which means more pouches.
4. Is there any point in an MP3 player with no hard drive...
All the problems I see with the DS at the moment are fixable, but the PSP seems pretty set in these faults that could (initially) keep me from buying it. So do what you want. I dont care. I think Sony is trying to fly too high too fast, and Nintendo knows what theyre doing. Will this keep people from buying the PSP. Probably not. But for people like me, it just might.
