I got both systems and I spend the most time on the DS. No loading times to speak of (which I hate with the PSP) and it helps I can play GBA games on it as well. Most time spent on the PSP is by playing old SNES roms :oops: (Burnout Legends kicks fucking ass tough).

It sucks I can't get my DS online tough :evil:

DPDP: I was actually thinking something PSP-screen size. It'd work the same way, you could turn it vertically, it's be ambidextrous for some games, and it'd make it more useful. I have to say the pair of GBA-size screens is probably the weakest feature of the DS as I see it, although it provides a neato scratch-shield.

Ando: I've actually never heard anyone whore out the PS2 except Sony. It's a pretty crap system, especially the last year or so when it's REALLY been showing it's age. Maybe I just don't usually hang around people who have fights over their favourite console? I mean, I own a PS2 - it doesn't mean it's not a crappy low-spec system. I love Dynasty Warriors and that's the end of it. :)

Ooh. You've never met the type that worships at the altar of sony, like if it was their (favorite sport team here)? Typically, that's the type that also seems to like 'more of the same' Anime, like DBZ or Inyuasha.

I do believe you're quite fortunate, Stark. Less things for you to hate. :wink:

The screens are actually a bit larger than the GBA's, which is easily seen when you play a GBA game on the DS.

Yes yes silly man, but they're both significantly smaller than the PSPs superior widescreen screen. IS MY POINT. :P

I love Kengo. But that's not the end of it, because everything else I can play on a PC or XBox...

That level of console-warness reminded me about the oldschool console wars, and the vehement playground arguments about bullshit.
Thanks a lot, man. You've just put a very silly image in my head. :?
