The nintendo ds will sell for $150 and the Sony PSP is gonna sell for $190 in Japan, so somewhere around that in the US , im sure.

The DS will be released on Nov 21st

The sony is being released in early December in Japan....possible release just before christmas in the US

I intend to get both eventually, depending on where the go of course.  I figure that I'll wait until mod chips and emulation are big with them.  :)  I can't wait to see some of the things people come up with!

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I'll pass on both.  The PSP just doesn't seem that interesting, and I still haven't seen a "killer app" for the Nintendo DS.

Both for sure!

I love my GBA and can't wait for Sony to go portable.
What would we do without videogames?

Will probably get the DS and possibly pick up the PSP later on (once the price drops some).

i thought 4-6 hours was good with all the stuff they are putting in there...?

i can see the DS being more of a hi tech portable PDA...more of a reason i would get one of those...

well i think the technology for the psp is a little too ahead of its time.  yes its got great graphics and stuff, but if i can only game for 4 hours and then have to recharge...its not much of a portable device now is it?  10 hours should be the minimum.  thats a good long road trip and back, and maybe some time in between for kids or for when my wife drives ;D

i just dont get the nintendo handheld..
two monitors...WHY>
it just seesm like such a waste. wouldnt that money have been  better spent giving it more horsepower under the hood, or put twords supplying a larger main monitor..
i mean honoestly , how many games are going ot have osmehtig usefull to display on two monitors..
it looks like a big mistake, almost like an internal memo joke that got out of hand..

I don't think I'll get either... never been much of a hand held game fan.
