what does everyone think will be the victor of the handheld console wars. form the ds and psp, i think that the ds will knock spots off the psp, and nintendos touch screen will help it will the battle. do you think that microsoft should start the war of handheld gaming as well?

But the kind of people who buy an expensive PDA (with stylus) are more likely to....

1) look after the equipment.
2) Not play fast paced games, but play slower games.

There is no need for the DS to have a Stylus. Nintendo have got this plain wrong. Younger gamers playing fast games dont want or require a stylus. Why do you think the PS2, XBox, and GamCube DONT ship with a mouse, keyboard, or stylus? There not needed - and its the same with the DS.

PDA's use stylus pens don't they didn't think they had PDA's when the technology in the DS was first use back in the 1950's

Providing people are careful with their property, none.

Not so. The PSP screen is made from a special scratch resistant material.

I wonder how many DS stylus things will go missing?

You can already get screen protectors for both PSP and DS from videogamesplus.ca at least.

Killer Nightmare, where did you order your DS from?

That's the way my N-gage is slowly starting to go.

Which is a shame. For a cheap phone, it ain't too bad...not the best, but good seeing as I had it less than half price at the time.

Will probably get a new phone this time next year...

As for PSP scratching, no doubt Sony will release the uber-expensive screen protectors...a piece of clingy plastic like a re-useable window sticker.

Well in a short 24 hours I'll have my very own DS in my hands!!! :D

Btw, I saw some screenshots of the PSP, wouldn't the screen get an immense amount of scratches cos it doesn't look like it has any protection?
