The PSP...it has the potential to be much better. If you want immediate satisfaction then the DS is the way to go. There is nothing special about it. It's not innovative. Don't get me wrong its a great little handheld. And for all you nay-sayers, I have both the DS and the PSP. Until the PSP gets some better software then the DS stays at the top of my list.

does anyone know how much it's gonna cost?
Posted by: Duane | Aug 31, 2004 2:13:09 PM
the psp wil be far to expensive for anyones liking! anyway the only advantages of the psp over the ds is the movies, music, and the bigger screen (which is sony's reply to the touch screen)! who needs all that when you have t.v's & walkman's? also all of the data is held on one of those umd things which means you will have to wait for the loading time!
nintendo has always been the king of portable gaming devices and that title will remain throughout 2005!

Can anyone help me with finding the PSP programming information. The system will have alot of hardware and I would like to program some software for it. Currently i program for the clie' and would like to move over to the new machine. Sony will not be selling the clie machine in the US any more. I have read that theUMD disk will only be distributed by Sony. I have found information about game programming, but that's all. Any help would be appreciated. I have posted this on the clie developers site also. Thanks....
