Man oh man…. what can i say. At first i was excited about both systems, but now nintendo has gona all out. The DS is only $150? Wow. And with the touch screen possibilities, DS has a huge advantage over PSP in the gameplay department. Think about it. In madden, you’ll have touch screen passing, and in any driving game there will be pin point turning. Almost any RPG would benefit from the touch screen, and as of now, the DS totally destroys the PSP in terms of games people want to play. I don’t want a remake of wipeout, ridgeracer, midevil, or twisted metal. This is 2004, not 1997. Knowing Sony though, i’m sure they’ll have their share of Triple A titles that will make the PSP worth buying. Although, that’s what i said 4 months ago. For me, it comes down to the price. If PSP is $250 or less, im getting it. If not, then Sony can count me out.
