1. You can play the most amount of homebrew software on a PSP

- Check the back catalogue of GBA homebrew

2. You can update the system software when the software goes out of date

- Can you? I the flash player is out of date, but I can't seem to upgrade that.
- Custom Firmwares can be flashed to the DS

3. You can connect the PSP to the computer

- So you can use it as an expensive card reader?

4. you can adjust the PSPs system settings withoout having to restart your system after resetting them

- But yet you have to exit a game?

5. you can have a nickname on your PSP

- And on the DS

6. You can use a wallpape on your home screen

- Look at me I have a pretty picture

7. ou can use RSS channels on your psp

- Good advantage. It be interesting to see what DS Opera offers in contrast.

8. you can set up your netwrok settings properly

- Which you can do on the DS. Why is it on an advantage even if the DS couldn't?

9. you can view photos on your psp

- As a base function yes. Pretty handy if you have a Sony camera. This can be done with a Supercard on the DS though.

10. You can veiw slidshows on your psp

- Same of 9.

11. you can create new folders to store photos in

- Same of 9.

12. You can listen to music

- Again nullified by the supercard. Base functions only, it is an advantage

13. Yo can watch music videos

- See 12.

14. You can watch UMD videos

- Who does (insert standard comment about buying the movie twice [dvd/umd] )?

15. You can veiw video off the mem stick

- Same as 13.

16. You can make more than one save on each game instead of one

- Dependent on the game, not the system.

17. play downloadable demos

- Same as the DS.

18. You have an internet browser

- DS Opera will nullify this. Base functions alone, it is an advantage.

19. You can view RSS channels

- Same as 7.

20. Yo can play flash games

- Good advantage

21. you can watch flash videos

- Same as 20. Comes under "Has a flash player£

22. you can view flash enabled websites

- Same as 20.

23. You can watch TV through your psp

- Extra cost.

24. youv can use location free player

- Same as 23.

25. you can havec different folders to store your music in

- Same as 12/13

26. youb can group your music

- Same as 25 which is the same as 12/13

27. you have easyier controls

- Tiny analogue stick? Sticky sqaure button? D pad? Like hell it does. Very game dependent as well.

28. you have an infared port

- And this is useful for?

29. will soon have a psone emulator

- Interesting...

30. PS3 connectivity

- Ds will have Wii connectivity

31. Will have a psp camera

- Been done and dusted by Nintendo already on the original Gameboy.

32. A GPS system

- Interesting...

33. A great selection of games

- Subjective.

34. The DS has a selection of childish selection of games like mario

- Subjective. The DS has Settlers, Trauma Center, Metroid Hunters, Resident Evil.

35. you can lock your psp so any of the buttons dont get pressed acidentally

- The DS you can close the lid and protect the screen at the same time.

36. you have four levals of screen brightness

- So the does the DS lite

37. whenb you want to quit a game on the DS you have to turn the sytem off but on the PSP you jsut have to press the homne button

- No you don't you just shut the lid

38. You can adjust the Tone of music

- Part of the music player?

39. bigger memory avalible for the for the psp

- You HAVE to have a memory stick to save games, DS you don't. Super Card takes any size SD card.

40. Much lighter and has a better more sleak designS

- Heard of the DS lite right?

41. the volume is much stronger than the ds

- hmm, subjective.

42. multiformat songs can be played such as mp3 wma wav atr3

- Same as 12.

43. looks verystylish and modern

- Look at the DS lite

44. not for kids

- Why does it seem that lots of kids own one then?

45. exchange pictures via wi-fi

- No comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Some DS advantages:

- Great online service and is used heavily by Nintendo now.

- Cheap/Inexpensive for both the unit and games

- Better battery life.

- Uses solid state media which means no loading times, smaller and more durable then UMD discs

- Touch screen adds a new dimension of games not previously seen on many handhelds. Offers mouse like control (as seen in Metroid Hunters). A good example is Trauma Center.

- Cheaper to develop for.

- Backwards complatible to an extremely large GBA library

Let's not even compare the PSP and the DS, both are great handhelds.

[MasterChafed]

i agree with Yaustar. I love my psp a lot more than a ds, but the ds also has many advantages over the psp. You really cannot compare systems liek these because they both have strenghts and weaknesses against eachother.

[acn010]

me like to touch

[stotheamuel]

ds has more advantages.... and i think psp has a few advantages.. but stronger...

I wish i could buy a ds.. dont have nemore money after..

psp 250
memory 150
game 50


LOL

[acn010]

lol

[Shilo]

IMO I think that they are both about equal. The DS has far better commerical games and control, yet the PSP has better homebrew and some other stuff. It really depends on what you like. Commercial games or homebrew.
