10 reasons PSP is better than DS and vice-versa

**IndianCheese** · September 5th, 2006, 02:50

I saw quite a few "reasons-better-than" threads that were crap, so here is a GOOD one.

PSP better than DS:
1. Play music, videos, and pictures right out of the box
2. 16:9 bright High-def screen
3. Capable of homebrew without SuperPassKey or Flash cart
4. Can browse the internet without extras
5. Can watch TV and DVDs
6. Can view Macromedia Flash content without homebrew
7. IR (gotta love ir shell)/Serial/USB interfaces (DS has NONE OF THOSE)
8. Camera (video chat, EyeToy) and GPS on the way
9. Ability to update System Software
10. Only ONE model...

DS better than PSP:
1. Touch Screen
2. Mic
3. 2 screens
4. Game cards pretty much eliminate load time
5. Much better game selection
6. Comes in more colors
7. Uses the Download Play option much more frequently
8. Almost no risk of messing up by a virus
9. Folds up to protect screens
10. Um...uhh...tastes...better??

There you have it. All fact (except for DS #5) so no one can counter what I say. Ha.

PSP
3) Even though it doesn't require a flashcart - it does require a compatible firmware PSP - which is hard to get right now
- All the rest of the pluses - those are multimeda elements, something of which I have other devices to do - in which case you can not compare the DS to the PSP seeing how Sony is now marketing it as something other than a simple gaming machine (DS is only a gaming machine)

Actually, it's very easy to get a compatable Firmware for homebrew now that there are downgraders for everything up to 2.71. And from the way things are going, it's very possible that a 2.80 downgrader will be released in just a little while.

PSP no 3) Need that expensive MemoryStick.. It's just the same as using Superpasskey etc, no ?

It isn't that fair putting Emu(s) as just one 'better'. I think CPS1, CPS2, NeoCD, Snes9xyl and Dgen deserves each one point of 'better'.. Cause 'hell, I'm not gonna exchange my PSP for DS because of them !
