• PSP can play MP3′s and Movies, but

1. Buy Movies in a “UMD” format, which is like buying the DVD again with a $5 – $10 discount.
2. Write it to a “Sony Memory Stick Duo Pro”. They are about $10 more than SD Cards. They can be written on via PC; however, many magazines have said it is very difficult to put media on the PSP, +10 PSP

• · If you want to put Media on a DS, the DSi will let you do it legaly, but its kinda late, so +1 DS

Final Score:

PSP: 47

DS Lite:47.5

So in the end its really jus

t up to you, if you like pick up and play, get the DS, if you really want to get into your game but are willing to wait a bit, get the PSP

Nintendo here to stay

While browsing and surfing i found something very interesting, nintendo owns teh top 2 franchises and 2 more in teh top 10. The top two are Mario followed by pokemon, and Zelda and Donkey Kong are both respectivly in the top 10. So with this, even if nintendo dies in the console wars, they have games to keep them alive. Also, i remember being told that pokemon was a fad, while i still watched feverishly, and i still watch it whenever i can, though it is not amazing anymore, but the games are still flying of shelves. But what do you think???

Nintendo Supremecy

Well, as we all know Nintendo brought Video Gaming into our world, and has caused us to lose contact with the real world. However, in recent years Nintendo has almost slipped off the console cliff. the N64, was over shadowed by the Dreamcast and the Sony PS1, and the Gamecube was never a mainstream console, due to the PS2′s and XBox’s appeal to older gamers.
However in the last year, we have seen the DS emerge as the handheld of the future with its sales, and its release of games that appeal to the older generation of gamers, and the Wii, which is selling like hotcakes. But, in any case, Nintendo is back in the Video Gaming race, but this time with innovation.
