I didnt catch much of that...but If your talking aboutr kiddy games....ummm yes some are dissapointments, but like I said in my first post, the DS just doesnt have good games RIGHT NOW. Im obviously going to keep mine, Im waiting for CV: DS and Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt and I doubt those will have "kiddy" storylines.

Well, I stated my issues with the DS before, but in recap...

1. Too damn expensive. My Xbox cost less. My PS2 cost less. My Gamecube cost a LOT less. And the DS is a handheld. Somethin' don't add up.

2. Touch screen seems pointless, and in many games will probably wind up being a problem - it's a new idea, and the developers might not know how to effectively use it.

3. While I didn't say this before, it has a very limited library of games currently. For me, this isn't an issue; I usually don't buy systems until a while after their release, but it's still a problem for the DS.

I know I already said that, but I figured it'd look better to have someone who dislikes the DS and clearly explains his reasons why. That, and it makes the thread more interesting than having everyone agreeing.

Well for some games, you don't really have to use the Touch Screen, you can just change the controls around, which is good ... controlling 3D characters with a touch screen = No.

But as I've already said myself, I think the DS is fine. As TheDaftPunk said though, there really isn't any good games out there, but there's going to be a few good ones here soon.

Honestly though, look at my situation. The only GB I own is a GB Pocket, no GBA, no SP, or whatever. So, wouldn't you say it would just be a better deal to pay an extra 50 for a new system?

Meh. I did get it for Christmas, so oh well.

Most of the "Bundle" packages for the PSP are going to be about $250-$300.

Still a bit, but not as much as you said. (That would be insane)

I just saw the ad for best buy and the PSP is going to be $250 and includes no games you have to buy the games sepreately and the games themselves are going to be $40. The PSP does come with either a 512mb or 1gig memory stick, headphones, spiderman 2 chip to put on the psp, and I think thats it but I might be missing something.

I don't care what the PSP comes with; I ain't spending 250 dollars on a defective handheld. DS owns my soul for two reasons currently (soon, 3): Super Mario 64 DS, Mario Kart DS, and Dynasty Warriors DS. Killing Chinamen with a stylus? That's hot.

And that pwns out Tamaris's comment about 6-7 posts up. He said his xbox and ps2 cost less, and his gamecube cost WAY less... bear in mind these are three-four year old consoles, and the psp isnt much of a bargan either... nearly twice as much as the DS when it gets to UK... probably about 4 months after you get it
