why do ppl go for the ds? the psp looks better, has a bigger screen and you will get great games for it. besides.. what is up with that touch screen? I got 2 (pre-owned, cheap stuff  ) ps2 games, 2 ps2 magazines, a necklace, an alarmclock, a remote controle for my tv, headphones and a piece of furniture for my tv, sms and ps2 + games etc ( we celebrate it with 5 ppl and everyone buys presents for eachother, that's why I got so much  ) |

Because the touch screen is an awesome idea, it has wireless gaming, two screens, microphone - god I sound like a nintendo salesman. As far as PSP games go, you I will get the same rehashed games from the PS2*, the DS is doing something intresting and differnent. I'm definitely getting a DS, but the PSP will have to do a lot more to prove it's worth it. For starters there's nothing I hate more than low battery life (d**n you game gear!). *OK I accept the DS has Mario 64. |

yeah the batterly life sucks...
but I'm sure they'll have a adapter for it for the car as well and extra battery packs.
I just don't like the look of the ds and the 2 screens but that's just my opinion.
I also like the mp3 function and the probabilty that they're gonna make movies for it.

I was gonna ask for the Nintendo DS for Christmas, but I ran out and bought it the morning it was released. It's awesome.
Nintendo is one of the few companies who can still make a good video game that keeps people playing. I don't understand why people liked Halo so much; it wasn't that good. Halo 2 was good, but Metroid Prime 2 keeps you playing. Gamecube is an excellent system with great graphics and solid games. Other great companies include Konami and Sega.
Retrobob: The good game at the moment appears to be Super Mario 64 DS, so I suggest you get it. I'm still hooked on it.

Cash, a couple of shirts, a pair of trousers, the Nirvana box set, Brian Wilson's 'Smile', John Peel biography, a new phone and some other bits & bobs. No videogames, but I'm considering the 6 Mark III games I won to be a present to myself  And why is it impossible for anyone to mention either the DS or PSP anywhere without being drawn into a fanboi debate about the pros & cons of both systems? |

Back in the 90s it was Sega vs Nintendo and now it is Nintendo vs Sony, while Microsoft always gets bashed. I think its a typical guy thing, they always debate to say 'their' console or whatever is the best  To get to the Topic: I'm glad i don't get the typical christmas faeces like clothes, socks and so on ;D I got some DVDs (Toxic Avenger (finally), Decampitated, Back to the Future Box Set, The Godfather Box Set), some Books (Heavy Metal - Sound of the Beast and The Ultimate History of Video Games) and a Blind Guardian Dragon Necklace |
