VIDEO GAMES- PSP ownage...

While I am sure there will be some Nintendo DS cool games (hey, Konami announced Castlevania and frankly, I would have bought for that game alone) the PSP lunch titles look mighty interesting.

Wireless Twisted Metal? Wireless Wipeout?  ARGh.

Really, this machine will have a better library it seems than the Nintendo DS at that time with the time it had in advance.  Reminds me in a weird way if it can be compared at all of the Saturn/PS1 launches....

I can only see PSP ownage.  Probably the DS will like the N64 get a larger user base over time but the PSP will be the king.

(or ironically the gameboy advance SP).

Yeah, I'm really stoked for it. Preordered mine a couple of weeks ago. Good thing, too, as GameStop is apparently sold out for their first shipment:

I was also really impressed to hear that game sharing, one of the particularly cool features of the DS, will also be available on the PSP:

So now the touch screen is the DS's only major feature advantage. They need to jump on that, fast.

It's a shame Sony decided to force everyone to buy the "value" pack (hmm, $50 of extra crap I don't need doesn't seem like a particularly good value to me...), since it really widens the price gap between the two systems.

I got mine the other day. Here is a little something Sony apparently doesn't want people to know. If you read the manual on p. 67 you will clearly see that the memory has a little issue. Pro Duo vs. Duo. With Duo you can have all the fuction, Save: Games, Movies, Music and Pictures. But with the Pro Duo, It doesn't support Music. Duo is smaller in size, and cost the largest I found is 128mb. ProDuo goes up to 1 Gig. Just a problem I observed. All in all this PSP is well worth it. Don’t let this memory thing stop you. Recommendation: Get Both, ProDuo and Duo. You can Easily switch them. When you want. That is if you can afford it.
