PSP or DS?

[Schultz]

Im thinking i may want both.depend on what games nintendo anounces as to whether i get ds but a psp is a deffinate for me.im a fan of rpgs and hence major sony fan never gotten into portable gaming before as i couldnt bring myself to pay much for such archaic technology that nintendo makes and then they put such small games on it that a bunch of programers could have made in their garage back in the amiga days, then just to make you feel really great charge you almost full console prices for the games and hardware (maybe thats just new zealand) In other words ive always been put off by the price. $55 a pop is just to much for such simple games (especially in gb gbc day) To give you an idea about price the gbap befor new price cut was about $40 cheaper than ps2 and games $3 cheaper.
Other than the nasty price tag ive always wanted to play the odd gba game mainly rpgs so a ds is a posability.im a little worried about the controls more than anything.its supposed to be about portable gaming and while i dont expect to be able to run and play at the same time i wouldnt mind knowing just how to hold the ds and play it with a stylus is meant to work.i would like to see the screen used in more the urbs (sims) stylz than the maps that iv mainly seen.as having to look away while driving to see map is annoying.
Its great that sony has jumped in as competition is great for consumers.the psp already has 20+ rpgs in the works and is a little more maturely(older aimed).it has mp3 support which is a bonus.A screen thats actually good.and some dam fine games coming out for it.nintendo fanboys will say its just ps2 ports just like psp fanboys say n64 ports for ds but i think thats all just overexageration.psp doesnt have many ports and those that are ive never really played anyway but prob still wouldnt buy
october 7 is nintendos press event for games linup and info on the system i shall be looking forward to it as well as sonys announcement with pricing and bat life the date of which no one knows.
with ds not at tgs all the reviewers have been comparing psp to ps2 which has i think given the system unfair publicity.and gives the impression of ports even though there were so few.

Well i really wouldn't call the Gba archaic technology considering its an actual 32bit handheld. And they really are not small games just because of the carteriges.. Since ROM technologys have came along ways so they can put alot of information into those small cartrigies..

And i don't know about prices up there but for us we are only charged $30 for a brand new GBA game while any new game for a console is $50
