   DS or PSP ( origanally posted on otakuboards by: me)
These days the world of portable handhelds has exceled from Pong graphics to graphics that are as good as a PS2. So which one should you get.

NINTENDO DS:
I recently bought a nintendo DS and have the demo game, Madden NFL 2005, and Asphalt: Urban GT. I'm impressed with the quality of the graphics and the overall system. On Madden NFL 2005 you can clearly here the song that's playing and the players look better than stick figures throming a block. On Asphalt: Urban GT the graphics are amazing you can pick you're car model and it's great to see the cars look like the real deal. The dual screens are great because you don't have to pull up the map, you just look at the other screen. Also the games are a lot smaller. That's good and bad, good because you can fit more in a pocket, but bad because they get lost easier. I think Nintendo did a really good job.

PSP:
Nintendo is the leader in handheld games but now Sony has taken a swing at trying to make their own handheld, the PSP. From what i've read the PSP is coming out around April but there is no real set date. The PSP has already come out in Japan and it was a big hit. The graphics are considered to be PS2 quality, which is pretty good for a sceen that's that small.The PSP has built in stereo speakers so games with music can be heard clearly. The PSP setup is like a PS2's with the triangle, square, circle, and X buttons also it has the D-pad and a smaller analog stick (smaller than the PS2's stick). The battery life has been a problem for sony and it still is. If your playing a puzzle game sony says the battery could last for over 6 hours but a racing game like Ridge Racers might only last 2. So if you are into the battery sucking games i'd suggest getting another rechargeble battery pack. The graphics are so good that it can play good graphic games like final fantasy VII and Metal Gear Acid. the price is also an issue for the PSP but contradictory to early announcements the PSP is going to be under $200 not $300.

So now it's up to you to see which one to buy. All I know is i'm getting both!

Later,
Wesuls
