The things that are wrong with the industry today.....

And, still thinking about the discs used in the PSP, why exactly does Sony have an obsession with starting new media formats?

So they hold the patent in case someone else wants to use it?

Remember, Sony is a console-videogame company only secondarily. It's mainly an electronics business.

And if they have to manipulate things into their favor by using their fan base, hey, why stop 'em?

Bleh, I dislike Sony. Were it not for a few choice games, my PS2'd be in the closet right now.

I do know that I'm getting a DS for certain, can't say the same for the PSP.

But noone but Sony wants to use the Memory Stick because it's overpriced. All companies besides Sony use CompactFlash or Secure Digital!
Why would those discs do any better?

And yeah, I don't think I'll get a PSP. Check the links in my sig to see why.

Several reasons why the DS will rock.
Check the "Official Gameplay Demonstrations."

There are three links there.

Refer to the first link again as to why he wasn't specific. =P

A big table, with text descriptions and links!
It would reduce loading time by linking to individual files, instead of loading them all at once!
Now, go watch this video!

Before deciding on a PSP, realize that the movie and music playing features are worthless.
The DS and the PSP both have 8-10 hour battery lives, in game playing mode. In movie-playing mode, Sony admits the PSP will have only a 2 hour battery life. So, you can't even finish Spiderman 2 on it. WORTHLESS.

Before Crisis is supposedly going to come out on the DS, so I'm going with that one.

Want to know why the DS is better then the PSP. Nintendo is a game company. Their goal is to make games. Sony is an electronics company. They sell mainly portable multimedia devices. Which is more likely to produce quality games?

And, I've got a bunch of friends who want the DS simply so they can play Super Mario 64 DS, which has a bunch of new levels and a wireless multiplayer mode.
Best. Idea. Ever.
Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Wario racing to collect the stars on a level? How can it go wrong?

Sony doesn't need to make games... it just needs to convince companies to develop for the PSP. Silly.

Yes, but Nintendo makes games, and has some of the best first-party series ever.
