A $250 piece of plastic that was never intended to play games. It has a faulty square button that sticks into the system and lots and lots of dead-pixels. You have to have at least 10% dead-pixels in order to return it and get your money back. It has a short battery-life and you have to pay $25 more just to watch a DVD on it that you already own. Adored by Sony Fan-gender-non-specific-people because it has overly bright graphics and can do fifty-million things that don't really matter that your computer already does for you better and without having to be charged regularly. 100 times less fun than a PS1, PS2, or DS.
Boy: Hey, my PSP has tons of dead-pixels!
Retailer: Hmmmm... let's see. Oh, sorry. It has 9% dead-pixels. It has to have at least 10% dead-pixels in order to return it for you money back.
Girl: Hey! My PSP's square button won't come out after I pushed it!
President of Sony: Hey, it's designed to look good, not to play games. If you bought it for playing games, you might as well just get one of those PS1s with the attachable screen.
Man: Ha! This PSP RULES! Let me pop in Ape Escape! Hey! Why is this not as fun anymore? Oh yeah! That's because there's no frickin' analog sticks!
Woman: Wow... ports of games with worse graphics.... Fun....
Hermaphrodite: I'm so glad I got a DS! With my savings, I bought 3 more games! TAKE THAT, BEE-YOTCH!!!

if you thought HALO 2 was the decline of ameriican civilization, think again.
as of 4/4/05 the psp is about $150. Yeah yeah it holds MP3s but only about 4 of them. you can buy extra memory for twice as much of the PSP itself.

Both sony and nintendo fans are acting ridiculous. Ds and psp are both wonderful systems, equally revolutionary in their own way, as well as they both have their own faults. Here we go:
Cost: The DS is an incredible low price as we would expect from Nintendo. Yes, the psp is expensive, but considering it has dvd capabilities and other functions, you cant expect it to cost as much as a DS.
Controls/size: Both of these systems were originally flawed in this category. The ds was bulky and fragile, but the newly released ds lite fixed these problems. As for the psps poor control and size...its Sonys first handheld, give them a break. And the low battery, why the hell would you play for 6 hours straight anyway??
Games: I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING THE DS IS A KIDDY SYSTEM! It is indeed not, they are quality games, that were actually created with care and knowledge of what was going on. The graphics are revolutionary for a handheld. The psp has great games, and slightly better graphics, but graphics do not matter, gameplay does, so its a plus.
In conclusion: Both systems are revolutionary with their graphics, capability, and design. Neither one is better than the other, as their pros and cons even each other out. By bashing because of simple factors only shows you have nothing better to do

A promising handheld manufactured by Sony which has fallen relatively short of expectations, due to numerous fundamental flaws and a lacklustre games catalogue. Beyond the slick, glossy look and expansive but half-baked media capabilities, lies a surface which attracts finger oils like an oxy pad and demands more care than a mentally-deficient infant, poor memory options with the outrageously expensive 'memory duo stick', a piss-poor battery life, which despite being dependent on how graphically intensive a game is, is still unacceptably low, and a software catalogue which comprises of a plethora of ports and rehashes.
Regardless, it has phenomenal technical capabilities and better titles are further down the line, such as Exit.
One of its trademark symbols is reflective of its functions, which include pictures, movies, music and most importantly, games. In addition, it has its own web browser and frequent firmware updates add various new features, such as support for different file formats.

Open-minded gamer: It's difficult for me to say a whole lot of positive things about the PSP at this moment in time, but eventually Sony will iron out these first-generation flaws and we'll see a better range of games.
