In the week that I've owned this device I've come to empathize with all you rabid Ipod owners. It is the first piece of technology that has given me that 'gee wiz' feeling since that pong game system I got for christmas when I was 5. I take it to bed with me at night so fucking and sleep have been sorely neglected. I want you all to buy one so we can play games (built in wi-fi) and be tired and horny together. |

Just because I'm a contentious bastard doesn't mean I can't experience joy. |

My love of electronic music is what lead me here after all... |

So what does it have? Like ps2 graphics or something? I like that it can play movies. That way you can watch something on the can. Thats cool. It looks neat. post your thoughts |

It suposedly has greater processing power than a PS2. I dont have a ps2 to testify to that fact, but the gfix are amazing. Movies look beautiful (it came with Spider Man 2) on the mini dvd and you can copy video files to the memory stick for playback- haven't done that yet. The audio is great with non-oem headphones and it suposedly supports 7.1 surround. What has really struck me though is the photo viewing. I have a 5mp digital camera and the images look great on the screen. You can pan and zoom the image and 'explore' the details that are in the pic in a very fun and intuitive manner- its like prospecting for prospective photoshop material. At $250 Sony is suposedly loosing over $100 per unit and judging by the screen alone, I believe it. |

The DS is a toy. The PSP is for REAL MEN! ( and FlyAgaric's mom) |

sony things only technology, nintendo things only game! |

The DS is an interesting gimmick that realistically wont last |

Yes Sony has never released a gaming machine or sold game software. How bright and intuitive you are! Thank you so much for your articulate contribution to this tread. |
||||||||
|
|

They should only market things that flyagaric's mom apprives and enjoys. wait.... fly.... does your mom work for sony? |

MAN I want one of these, they look beautiful. Can't afford it right now though. I don't see why some people are STILL questioning Sony's commitment to games and innovation over technology. This gen, they've introduced totally aweslime first party franchises like Jak, ICO, Ratchet, God of War, Killzone, Sly, etc, and the only ''new'' intellectual property Nintendo's done is Pikmin. Other than that, it's the same old Mario/Zelda/Donkey Kong/Metroid. |

I just like games and sexy electronics. The DS is a cool little device, but sexy it ain't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the DS just seems clumsy to me. not really elegant at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The PSP is sexy like an Ipod with a nice set of tits. I am of course speaking euphismistically of the screen. |
||||||||
|

The DS works.. The PSP will be buggy. (But PSP will be awesome, don't take me wrong). I just trust Nintendo more than Sony in Portable consoles. And im happy to own a PS2.. Don't need the portable version with bugs. hehe. |

Mine works like a dream and any glitches will be easily patched via updates. It hooks right up to the internets after all. Another great thing about it is you can power it off at any time and when you power it back on it boots immediately to the state it was last in regardless of the application. |

I love the DS. For the price i think it's well worth it. Plus i'm a nostalgic gamer, i like fun, platformers, puzzle games and even driving. But games have got a little to real and adult for my taste. I don't need videogames for that. I might get the psp when it comes out here (been delayed) but then again i hope i don't give in. Like tridenti i prefer nintendo's style over sony...just a shame there's so much more variaty on sony. I'm happy i got my ds for the mario game alone, brilliant. And the hobbesette love the touch screen thingy, she plays it more than i do. I think the psp will do well though, sony are marketing masters and all the functions it has over the DS will help. Still, i don't think the nintendo one is just an "interesting gimmik". not for me anyway, as i can also play all the old games from my old one. Nostalgia! |

variety* I'd like to add i though the touch screen thihng would be a bit crap, but i love the new ways it brings to gaming. Like i said i like colors, fun and stuff... i'm a bit bored of the killing and dark 3d graphics. I must one of the rare few. :) |

I won't even start correcting the mistakes in that one! I blame my keyboard. |

I love the DS. Its innovative AND sexy. WTF is everyone talking about? oooh a big screen. wow, i have a 17 widescreen TV and a PS2 does that make me cooler than PSP owners ? I dont agree with this 'same old mario/metroid' crap. They were great ideas to begin with and are constantly being improved upon to enjoy in new ways. Sony however fits the description more because it IS the same old crap, only better graphics. How many times can you play Tomb Raider until you realize that the only reason you keep getting the newest one is because Lara Crofts breasts and ass are in higher resolution? |

The ''Lara Croft'' argument (Eidos, not Sony) only works if you disregard how revolutionary and copied games that got their start with Sony are, like Devil May Cry, Symphony of the Night, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Grand Theft Auto and Metal Gear Solid, or how Sony's own first party PS2 platformers have cleaned house and rendered Nintendo's a near non-factor (Mario Sunshine was pretty underwhelming). Also, ICO, a Sony product, is more artistic than Zelda ever was. Yeah, I'm a Sony fanboy, holla if ya hear me! |

Sony may have mastered genres and made good games, but they are mostly all copies or different versions of older games.....from when sony was doing something else... nothing much new, just all a bit "souped" up. I remember the first time i read the name "playstation" it was the name of a project that was gonna be done between sony and nintendo. A long time ago. |

Holla! I'm a sony fanboy (cameras, minidisc, laptops), but I don't own a ps2 or even a ps1 for that matter so I look forward to playing those games on the PSP-> in the comfort of the hammock in my backyard! But that's not even the real reason I bought it. It's a mobile video player/photo viewer. Oh-yeah- you can put music on it too! Plus it makes me the envy of every 12 year old in the neighborhood. |

hows the square button working out |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

pwn3d. I mean come on $250? and it doesn't even play dvds or ps2 games, or ps1 games for that matter. So then you have to shell out some more hundreds for little gay dvds that only work on PSP. At least DS is backwards (and fowards) compatable and i can get it for $130. Oh and all the buttons on my DS work like a charm. |
||||||||
|

I have thoroughly mashed all buttons repeatedly and without incident. As I said before i have no ps1 or 2 games for it to be compatible with and I didn't buy it primarily for the games. If i were in the market for a DS and had the choice of one with this screen for $250 I'd get it, but as I'd have no games for such a device to be compatible with either and it had no other functions, I'd still get the PSP. |

What do you think of the new Yoshi game and Wario Ware on DS? I love Wario Ware Touched!-it's so insane. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Isn't that the nose-picking game? Bought that for my nephew. He loves it- he's very mature for a 5 year old. |
||||||||
|

Wario is fun, the missus loves it. |

|I like the crazy japanese humour of Wario Ware. Anyone here like the Yoshi Ds game? |

You guys are pissing all over my PSP thread. FYI- it is running a little slide show of my favorite pics for me at this very moment. Try that with your silly DS! |

I wanted to buy a PSP while i was in california but they had all sold out! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't buy the little thing for those purposes. There's plenty of other devices for those sort of things that are less bulky to carry around. Calm down a little, you feel well oppressed in every thread i see you it seems. |

Best Buy had 2 tonight though they are probably gone by now. I stopped in a local game shop for Doom 3 (before I went to Best Buy) and they were selling the japanesee import for $700 dollars when it first came out. |
