Wii is looking around Ã,£90 - Ã,£130 release price. Bargin.

*cough* stuff on PSP is near to impossible on the newest of PSPs (2.7).

If you really want to start doing dodgy stuff on your PSP you need to get hold of a 1.5

Expect the Wii to retail at below Ã,£170, if their press statements are to be believed.

The psp/ds are for different markets, sd is purely a gamers item although it has the brain trainer available. The PSP is a more allround entertainment system. If I was definitely buying both then I might be tempted to get the ds first simply because there are other players on here and you can play against them. Its also the cheaper option so if you change your mind again and go for a 360 you wont have spent all your dosh and it will be easier to afford one.

Both have wifi, the PSP is better in the ideas of running "backups", surfing online, using msn etc etc...

Ohhh also on that the PSP can run videos, music, text files, pictures. The DS can do none of these things...

Ive not played, or even seen a game for that matter on the PSP, which comes close to the cream of DS games - tetris, mario kart, animal crossing etc. are all class and some of the up and coming titles shat all over the best sony machine offerings too....

the games on the PSP are just like the ones on the PS2 - and every single one of them lacks originality, too... :(

Not heard of moonshell for the DS then, as the above quote is quite quite wrong

and how can msn be better on psp than ds?

at least with ds you get an on screen keyboard, typing using a controller on the psp is just pathetic.
