Fans dispel PSP misconceptions

[Skateblind]

The DS is designed for kids and women PRIMARILY and you all know that the PSP was designed mainly for adults. The controls and style of games that get released on each prove that. I would never be able to feel mature playing a DS and cant imagine being seen with one. I feel enough of a dork as it is, whipping the PSP out, but can you imagine me going to the pub and playing on my DS, now that would be very sad.:rofl:

Wow! What a mature post! Teach me how to be all big and grown up like you are....

lol this post turned into a flame war between ds + psp. if your on ds's side, get back to your ds forums -.-

Arent most of the games for psp ports or am I just not understanding this post. Most games i have are ports of ps2 games

Not really, dont the psp and ps2 ver come out same time?

Meh, fanboys can say what they like about the PSP's commerical games. I can play KOF at full speed on my handheld and they can't.

I don't know why people just keep dissing eachother's favorite portable consoles or home consoles. Each one of 'em have their good and bad sides.
Even though I play my PSP (a japanese ver. I had before US release) much more than my DS, I think the DS is as good as the PSP but in some other aspect of gameplay and concept.

Without talking about the homebrews, PSP has its advantages on the visual artistic side of their 3D games (for gamers who like CGs and "Higher Res" graphics). Of course, PSP has its nice 3D graphics but sometimes I do think they lack in "originality", which DS has with their concept of gaming with the stylus and dual screen (for gamers who prefer gameplay over graphics).
So no matter what people say, it's all just a matter of personal tastes and opinions.

ill go ahead and say that yes...i play my psp much more than my ds, and if i had to choose one or the other i'd choose my psp. but MOST CERTAINLY not for any reason other than homebrew. psp has very few titles that i am even remotely interested in. i have g6 lite for my ds so i can just download ds and gba roms and play em on it, and i have put even more games on it than my psp has homebrew. meaning the ds has better games to its name (IMO). but as i said before the homebrew is what makes the difference to me. SNES & PS1 are my favorite consoles ever, both are easily accessible portably via psp. but i dont understand why people have to diss either, just get both. they are both kick ass systems.

Everyone saying the PSP is a better system because of homebrew should look at the GP2X. It can do pretty much everything the PSP can homebrew wise. Plus, it's cheaper, comes with the SDK and you don't have to worry about firmware updates.

Final Fantasy VII GP2Psx:

Pretty impressive if you ask me. Yes, the PS1 emulator for PSP is far better... But it's made by Sony, and who knows Playstation better then them?

Bull$#@!! The PSP has some great games! Densha de Go! Pocket and... uh, um... hmm.. no, actually they're totally correct - there aren't any decent games for the PSP, least not outside of Japan anyway. Meh, if it weren't for Pops I'd have never bought one in the first place.
