I have had mine for about 5 months and it was the best purchase I've ever. I use it everyday and it's awesome. I haven't tried the WFC yet though. Anybody else have one? If you don't I highly recommend it.

BTW, anyone else going to buy the Wii? Because I sure as hell am.

No way man. DS is unlike the PSP in that the DS is....fun. The PSP might have better graphics, but for the money the DS 0w|\|s.

Games for the DS?
-Mario Cart
-Super Mario
-StarFox command
-Break 'em All
-Pokemon
-Sonic Rush
-Metroid Prime
-Kirby's Canvas Curse-my personal favorite.
-the list goes on.

You're kidding right? Yeah the PSP has better graphics and is an impressive piece of hardware, but no one in their right mind would claim the games are better. The PSP has an abismal selection of games. The DS has a great library and also plays GBA carts.

BTW I own both the PSP and a DS.

The DS is designed around the touch screen right? Why is it that in nearly every game that I have played for DS, they barely even utilize the touch screen. It is used as a map or has a very limited touch feature for the game.

DS is designed for little kids and that is why the games are all cartoony and terrible. Besides mario there really arent any good games for nintendo systems.

Well, it also depends on which game it is. The second screen is useful all of the time. On Metroid Prime and Starfox command, you use the touchscreen to move around and shoot. Canvas Curse,draw lines to get places. Brown, you need to look up the new releases because they dont have very many games. The winter and spring months are when all the games come out.

Super Mario - touch screen useless except for the mini games.

Asphalt Urban GT - touch screen useless, no feature utilizes it

I have to go with Brown on this. The good games for the PSP maybe be rare and far apart but they are way better than the DS's IMO. Look at the games you listed, I bet they are all rated "e" aren't they. Plus the PSP can do so much more than games. I love my PSP. Hey Brown, you played Def Jam Fight for NY Takeover yet? its F**kin awesome! Oh and Burnout Legends is really good too. I wonder when Grand Turismo for PSP is coming out.

I only have a few games for PSP, I'm pretty well addicted to hot shots golf. From what i've seen Gran Turismo is coming out 3/07 tenatively. One gripe I do have for the PSP is that you need memory cards. Granted if you're just saving games to the card a 64mb should be okay, but if you're playing a big game like Gran turismo and you'll have to invest in a bigger card.
