What is the difference?

If you want to justify yourself by saying that it is an entertainment device instead of a toy then more power to you. That doesn\'t change the fact that they are both TOYS.

palm pilots as toys?  thats ridiculous

here\'s i\'ll put it on your level:

 hi guys!  my name is context and i\'m gonna be your new friend.  here\'s the defenition of the word toy.

wow!  who knew that just because you can "toy" with something doesn\'t make that object into a toy by default?

so that means my car is not a toy.  and my hockey stick.  and that paperclip that i bent into a stick figure.  and that wood chip is not a toy either soully, thats just your currency

PSP = Toy

wtf?

wow...

thanks bro.  your effort and logic have completely stunned and shocked me into now understanding that PSP is simply a child\'s toy and little more.

i am sorry to have wasted your time

It is not JUST a child\'s toy but it IS a toy. Your definition says that a toy is MORE than just something for a child to play with. For some reason you can\'t seem to understand that.

looking up the dictionary meaning as mm did, he didn\'t seem to post this little bit of info with it.

I will sum it up for you my children.

DS = Kids toy "Ga-ga-goo-goo!"
PSP = Adult toy "WOOOOH, Im mature!"

To end this.PSP and DS arent competing directly each other.Yes they both play games.But they are offering completely different extra features that aim at completely different things.If Sony wanted to compete DS directly they wouldnt have released a  handheld that that costs so much more with extra features that dont have to do with gaming.The prices arent even competitive.And neither are their offerings.
 The DS offers dual screens of which one is a touch screen and aims at gaming only, the PSP plays movies, mp3\'s, and can connect to the net.PSP is a more luxurious device.
PSP is a toy and an entertainment device at teh same time.If someone wants just a toy he wont pay twice as much to get a PSP.
Oh and.....entetainment device isnt a toy.My DVD/CD player, TV is an entertainment device.Didnt know they were toys
Entertainment device is too general

Why do you bother posting? Kids toy? Baby sounds? What the hell? I assume it is the 12 year olds who will rush out to buy Castlevania: DS and make DS sells soar.

It was a joke, a very funny joke. But you are all \'PROTECT THE HIVE\' n shit.

[sp]That’s a joke too, or is it? [/sp]

It would not surprise me if DS has baby sounds as an alternative bootup sound, like the GC.
Man Nintendo is kiddy.
