If I had to buy one, it'd be the PSP. But I don't have either and I don't plan on buying either of 'em.

Right now just a DS. At some point though, I will own both. Probably by the end of the year.

I'm either waiting for a game I'm dying to play or for them to release it at a lower price. Preferqably without the headphones and all that junk I don't need.

However, if my girlfriend hadn't bought me this DS, I would already have a PSP. As it is, I can't justify spending $400+ bucks on portable gaming systems in a span of 2 months.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

If nintendo ever comes out with Palm like apps for the DS I might get one... no chance of a PSP though.

Same here - I have a gamecube that I bought back when they had the Zelda collection a couple of years ago - I think I might have played it for an hour.

Ya, if you took a poll over who ones anything "None" will always win. Makes you wonder why they come in here in the first place

That aside the PSP is more than double.

When I read the thread title, I thought of my old Game Boy, so I found it and played a bit.

That is what I was about to say.

Most of us don't care.

I thought people stopped playing with these toys in High School anyhow.

I own both, though I'm surprised that so few do. After beating Mario 64, the DS has been gathering dust, I'll probably get it out again when Castlevania is released. I'm still working my way through the PSP launch lineup, though I've had a Japanese unit since January. The color bleeding on the screen bothers me, so I don't watch movies on it. I'd still take it over the DS's screens though.

Agreed.

I'll take that bet. Who owns a computer?

Actually, that might be pretty close, but I don't think "None" would win it.

People are voting for the hell of it because we certainly never heard from these 16 DS and 25 PSP owners.

(1) Maybe the constant bickering between the same few people scares them away or
(2) Maybe they just don't want to talk about it?

Possible.

I can understand DS owners staying silent after the comparison screenshots I posted.

... or they realize graphics are only a small part of what makes a game. And that's all I have to say on that subject.

All I have to say is that lumines the highest rated game on the PSP is not about looks. It is about an amazing gameplay experience.

I don't own either.

And I could buy a handful of PSPs, and SWF AND his Sister.

AS far as that goes, I would buy a PSP before I would a DS.

But I would buy a GameCube before them all. Just for the Zeldas.

Not that his or anyone's sister would want you. What's a girl supposed to do with you? Pat you on the back when you hit 30,000 posts?
