PSP ups and downs

[Chocoborider29]

When I got a PSP, it was practically zenith! I was like OMGOMGOMG!! IT HAS AN ANALOG STICK TOO!? But, since then, I have noticed a few downsides.

STARTING OFF, the PSP screen isn't a hard material, which suck really bad. Couldn't they have made it out of polycarbonate or something that is more scratch-resistant!?

Past that, you have the game selection. Not a single game can keep my attention for a half an hour. Its really odd.

But, lo and behold, I believe that the PSP IS worth the money, and it is going to be UBER PIMP once the game designers get used to the new gaming system, and games get really good.

If you noticed any other downsides, or you want to tell us all, for the millionth time, some of the good things about the PSP, shoot now. I just wanna know what your opinions are on this gorgeous game system

CHoco......DS>PSP. And I think there's a topic for this already.

O.o you'd choose a DS over a PSP? At least say why!

Anti made a much better review thread. And he knew what he was talking about.

Vash, go fuck a walrus.

Wow. Harsh.

Unfortunately, I think he's right. As far as game selection, and even moreso sales, DS is ahead of PSP right now. Of course, that may likely change, but Nintendo has a lot of good games lined up, and I'll be perfectly content with my DS when they come out.

I may very likely buy a PSP within the next few years, however. It all depends on how it works out for the system in the future, both games and hardware. I'm still leery of it's very limited durability. Drop it 4 feet onto a hard floor, and, well... it still works, but the UMD drive doesn't exactly go back in all the way. I want to see a new model that can endure a little but more, without the need for protective accessories.

You're kidding, right? I bought my PSP on April 30th, about a month after PSPs came out. The Spiderman bonus UMD was included in the first million PSPs, and mine didn't have one. This means the PSP sold over a million units in one month. You're saying the DS sold more? Please continue.

OH REALLY? OH MAN AND I'VE BEEN GOING TO SCHOOL ALL THIS TIME WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN ON SUMMER BREAK. FUCK.

What does that have to do with anything, anyway? It only means that they've both sold more since then.

also it will probably sell more than the PSP since it will go online this holiday season

Too bad PSP is already online, and DS's online will suck because Nintendo doesn't have the online experience that the others do. Oh shit, did I just make a strike against Nintendo's most embarassing mistake? Uh oh.

and it has games thay can keep u hooked on it for at least an hour

Oh, and Lumines, Ridge Racer, Wipeout Pure, THUG2 remix, Hot Shots Golf - Open Tee, FIFA Soccer, Metal Gear Acid, Twisted Metal: Head-On, Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower, MLB, and Need for Speed Underground Rivals all scored 8s or above for absolutely nothing, am I right? Of course, the DS only has 3 games scoring an 8 or above: Meteos, Kirby, and Super Mario, and every single one is by Nintendo. Really shows something for their third party support.

Tnyhwk does have a point about the games, although he did forget to mention WarioWare. Also, I only counted 8 PSP titles with a score of 80% or higher ( www.gamerankings.com -This site takes reviews from mags and trusted sites and averages them together).

I took mine from gamespot.

One thing I noticed... DS won't have on-line capabilities. PSP Will... That closes it for me.

Minus the fact that you are wrong. DS will have online capabilities...

Ah. Didn't know that. My bad.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: PSP ups and downs

it has a black-screen connection, in which ONLINE and IN RANGE are 2 different compatibilities.
DS<PsP
AND SPEAKING OF GAME SELECTION how long has PSP been out vs. DS? I really think that patience is the issue here. People were saying how bad PS2 sucked vs. DreamCast because of the game selection. DreamCast got wiped off of planet earth when PS2 hit 1 year, and had over 150 games. I think the game designers are just tampering with some experimentals, and the good games will be hitting market soon enough.

plus, they're making Advent Shadow for it right now (sequel to advent rising Xbox)

aaaand they're dubbing Advent Children to UMD only! *kneel and bow, kneel and bow*

unles Nintendo starts aw game set, they're going to be another dreamcast.

I don't think DS<PSP. I don't really think PSP>DS either. DS=PsP. They both have teir +'s and -'s.
