if a consumer wants one, he will buy one, cost is unimportant.

You\'re right. I\'m gonna go pick up my Viper.

DS and PSP do share some of the same demographics. Both kids and adults like games and both PSP and DS play them.

There\'s some kind of overlap there.

PSP also plays mp3s if you\'re ready to spend more cash on memory sticks and the like. So far, the movie and net things are jokes.

They\'re both for gaming before anything else, and most interested consumers will get one or the other.

Especially if you\'re one of those imaginary consumers where cost matters.

By the way, technology as a whole is skewing younger and younger. Phones take pictures and play games now. Kids want them. They get them.

the movie playing capability is pretty damn slick, especially now that we have the ability to convert from any source (xvid/svcd/vob)

would a child go thru thru the paces to do this?  of course not.

cell phones got games and pictures because society as a whole needs pacified.  we can\'t sit on the bus or wait for a dentist apointment without being entertained in some fashion.

and if you really wanted a viper, you\'d save up and buy one.

Drop what argument..  It’s not hard to know wtf a toy is and it’s an insult to my intelligence arguing with a child. I\'ve got better things to do. It may be expensive, so was psx. Its main purpose is to "PLAY" games on it.   You play with it,  just like you play with yourself way to much.

PSP = Toy.
Primary use? Gaming. Anything extra? Gimmicks. Add-on\'s.

DS = Toy
Gaming device.

What\'s the problem with calling it a toy?

And it makes me sick that anyone would say Sony\'s movie idea is good. Why do we need a specfic format for handheld movie\'s? It\'s idiotic and half-assed.  Tho\' I will say the playback is impressive, the whole idea of a format for movie\'s for a gaming device is simply stupid.

gimmick?
tell me how downloading and watching speed racer is a gimmick, lol

it has to use a proprietary format.  what\'s it gonna use?  wmv?  divx?  mov?  mpeg2?  all patented formats which need compensated.

why do you think itunes uses AAC?

DS = toy
PSP =  entertainment device

simple as that

oh, and lol @ soully

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

so err, all the extra addons psp have make it a entertaining device...



interesting......... :rolleyes:

soully, this is called a "debate"
please add something useful and/or thought provoking.

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

I will,  when you will.

you\'re trolling soully, and have little reason or pupose in this thread except to taunt and incite me

i\'ve given several reasons why the PSP is not a toy

and you\'ve.....done nothing by refute what i say with pathetic attempts at humor.

oh, and LIC, the PSP doesn\'t have a "primary" use.  i listen to MP3\'s when i\'m on the bus, and watch at work whatever shows i DVR\'d the night before.

i really don\'t think a device that can do this, is a "toy".  oh yeah, a DS can do all this too

*mm jumping up and down like a baby* "Its not a toy! Its not a toy!"

Seriously, it is an electronic device, but how does that not make it a toy? There are plenty of definitions for a toy.

Palm pilots etc. are less like toys because their functions are geared less towards entertainment and more towards work, though they can be thought of as toys in some sense. The PLAYstation portable is ment to be PLAYED on. You play with toys. The only difference is that its a toy that is not geared towards little children. Im sure if some parent was rich, they would definately buy a psp for their kid depending. Ive seen 13 y/o\'s with all sorts of things they shouldnt have.

This is seriously a pretty silly debate, and when it comes down to it, it\'s all based on opinion really.

mm, you\'re idea of what a toy is doesn\'t change the simple fact. It’s a toy, its purpose is to be played with. That’s what a friggin toy is.  it does have a primary use. Gaming, that’s what it is, a HANDHELD GAMING DEVICE.

PSP = Playstation Portable, not sony portable.  Playstation was a gaming console remember..  
If anyone’s the troll mm, its not me.  It\'s a expensive toy, like it or not that’s exactly what it is. You play with the friggin thing, whether its being used for mp3s, the net and movies doesn\'t change that simple fact.  It is designed for gaming, the gaming isn\'t the extra. Its the purpose.

Well if you want to be fair can\'t the DS act as a Scheduler, contact book, and instant messenger?  Does this change its status from a toy?
