"PSP VS DS"

there is a dispute over which will be better

it will prob influence my decision being a sony fan

they both have there pros and cons, im suporting the psp cause im a sony fan and it does mp3

the psp is more powerfull and plays mp3 but its battery does not last that long

the DS does have a battery that does not run out as fast and is cheaper, it does have two screens but that does not appeal to me i id rather have one big screen, touch screen will prob not be that good for gaming

DS does look a bit ugly but the nice big screen on the psp will get smashed up cause there is no protection

Gizmondo is over-priced.
However; it does have 3 Microsoft games coming to it, including one from Rare.

Does this mean the DS can kiss Rare's support goodbye?

so the gizmondo has been released in "late october"?

Best. Launch. Ever

I think they must have got that wrong, but if it was - then, its doomed to fail.

So.. let me get this right. Microsoft critised Sony for entering the handheld market against Nintendo saying it would be like someone challenging Windows. However they are supporting Gizmondo.

Wow. Because that makes sense.

Gotta point out though that even big publishers supported the N-Gage when that was first launched. And the Rare game is only "It's Mr. Pants."

ds will win, wireless games, battlles and communication, just what a handheld needs, better than mp3s which you can get on a phone or on a £30 mp3 player

I hate things that do many things. Like the toothbrush that washes your back, or the shoehorn that buckles your shoe. They just didnt take off.

I can't see the Gizmondo setting the world alight.

I had a quick look at the website, comparing it to the PSP and the DS and thought, 'worst of both worlds'.
It's not got an analogue stick either.

Now the DS JUST about gets away with that with the touch screen simulation thingamy. The Gizzy can't even do that.
I reckon there'll be Rare DS games.
Just not for a year or two.

If only the Tapwave Zodiac could get some decent support.

It would pwn the PSP...

Yes it would, I've been looking into the Tapwave a lot - and it looks great. You can't surf the internet as of yet though, which is a shame, but I've heard they are brining out some wireless protocol that lets you do that soon - (the Tapwave, not the DS - don't get excited).

Feel the magic arrived today, along with Mario DS the other day - now all i need is a DS...

I probably will not be getting either of the new handhelds as handheld gaming bores the crap out of me.
