A Portable gaming machine made my Sony Computer Entertainment to go against the Nintendo DS. While some might say that the PSP has bad battery life and no touch screen, the great graphics can balance it out. In contrast, the Nintendo DS has great battery life and a touch screen, but it is missing the 3d quality of the PSP (When DS displays 3d graphics, it turns into a pixelated mess), along with the multimedia capabilities. Which machine you choose totally depends on your personality, while younger players might choose the DS, older console fans that prefer graphical quality will most likely go after the Sony Playstation Portable.

A beautiful handheld made by Sony. With a beautiful huge LCD screen. Does anything a computer can do (literally, you name it, it does it) Extreamly comfortable, good buttons UMDs flying out is just a exadurated rumor from the first PSP made. It is not over priced, DS is.
DS cost Nintendo: less than $50
PSP cost Sony: around $190
DS IS OVERPRICED NOT PSP!!!!
dont be jelous because you cant afford it, your just like the kids with crappy MP3 players from walmart who call IPods garbage.

A high-tech portable device created by SONY, Inc that is similar to the PS2 but portable. Even though many Nintendo fan boys say it "sucks", it doesn't. Usually, they haven't even played the SONY PSP. The PSP didn't get a lot of sales because SONY doesn't want little children to play with the device and want the teenagers and adult's to use it. I mean seriously, who would want a DS that is played by 5 year olds, doesn't seem very mature. This device can play movies, music, and UMD (Universal Media Disc) format which holds extreme graphics and great gameplay. The UMD disc is almost impossible to get scratched due to the outside covering. The battery life lasts 5-8 hours; but you can charge it in an eletrical socket and a car adapter (Sold separately). You can also buy a USB port that can transfer files from/to your PSP. Overall, the PSP is a great device; so is Nintendo DS, but PSP wins the medal overall.

Playstation Portable. Everyone wants one, don't lie. But since no one can afford one, they "hate" it. BTW, the battery life will last longer if you adjust the brightness. and Why the hell you want to play any handheld for 8 hrs. straight? Unless you have no life and want to be blind.
DS Fanboy: PSP is teh suck!!!
PSP owner: Whatever, I just bought it.
DS Fanboy: You are not a gamer!
PSP owner: Fine, here!
PSP owner gives it to DS fanboy and leaves
DS Fanboy: I don't want it!
10 secs later
DS/PSP Fanboy: OOOOOOO!!!!!!
PSP owner: Whatever, I just bought it.
DS Fanboy: You are not a gamer!
PSP owner: Fine, here!
PSP owner gives it to DS fanboy and leaves
DS Fanboy: I don't want it!

DS/PSP Fanboy: OOOOOOO!!!!!!

The sort of handheld console that you don't buy. It has graphic advantages over a nintendo ds and has a wider screen. However, the PSP has loads of dumb features that people have already stated, like dvd. All of the DS' features have something to do with gaming and are trying to make their games fun. Sony however, want to make a mobile phone and call it a handheld console.
Guy: Wow, this DS revolutionizes gaming with a touch screen and still focuses on making entertaining games.
Dickhead: WoW I just got this psp and it has shit games and I payed $400 dollars for it! Darn, my batteries flat.
Guy: You should've bought a DS and had fun other then buy an expensive peice of crap that runs out of batteries in 4-6 hours.
Dickhead: Nuh uh!!! The PSP has heaps good games like... uh... um... DVD! Beat that!
Guy: *sigh* Ok you can miss out on Mario 64 ds and the following upcoming titles: New seiken densetsu game, new final fantasy game, sonic rush, new mario bros and smash bros ds.
Dickhead: Woah! I want my money back but I can't get it back because my PSP broke down and sony offers no warranty knowing that the PSP would be fragile!!!
