DS would be so much better if they just made a sleeker design. I mean if it looked more similar to the GBA sp, and they made it smaller it would be a world of difference, or if they made the top screen a widescreen. As of now it looks decent. The PSP IMO is too much for a portable gaming system, honestly if I wanted games of that assumed quality I'd play it on my Home theater system, the way I see it, the battery life and cost most likely wont justify it. The DS on the other hand has something totally new which is two screens and a touch interface, I've always wanted to see what games are capable of when being designed from the ground up with a touchscreen, and with Nintendo on it, were bound to see some interesting stuff. Now if it had PDA capabilities which it should that would effectively make it far more practical and useful.

Does the PSP has bluetooth? because I dont see any mention of that on IGN, I know both the PSP and DS have 802.11b wireless capabilities

Nope, PSP doesn't have bluetooth either. We still don't know what protocol DS will use though. All they said it will have 802.11 wireless in it. Hopefully it isn't a proprietary 802.11 as then it may not be compatible with wireless routers, which equals no online play without a add on to change their proprietary 802.11 to 802.11b.

Yea, I definately like Nintendos direction thou, as they are trying something new, and for me personally I've always had interesting ideas of what you could do with a touchscreen in games, so that natrually makes me a fan of it (and the fact that it is similar to PDA). When I think of Sony's direction I cant help but wonder if they can avoid falling into the Gamegear, Lynx, Turbo Express, etc. graveyard of gameboy competitors. With there high end specs they seem to be on track, but then again sony is sony.

i STILL want to be able to boot 2003SE off of a cartridge onto the nintendo DS, it would just have to be ported, shouldnt be that hard (i laugh at myself in disgust at thinking *slap* hoping that would be easy)

PSP is going to be more powerful than PS2. Im definitly going to get PSP. Sorry Nintendo, Ever since you got a new president, You've been starting to suck.

plus the psp will play full platform games that have sweet graphics like the GT games and ATV off road furry along with tony hawk (those are the ones i have seen so far)

very very cool

although the psp and ds are getting more like pdas as the pdas are getting more like them...
