My phat was 150. My lite was 150.

If you wanted the DS to do things the PSP does, you need to buy ADD ONS. That bumps the price up. So no. The PSP is not over priced, because it does more than the DS and has a better display.

DS graphics are at least crisp. PSP gets ugly smudgy graphics.

DS generally go for 130 ish now I think. And no, their graphics aren't any "crisper."

Ah I get it now, you've never played a PSP. There is ghosting (even the DS has that to a lesser extent, surprise), but no smudging.

A cracked iPhone can play more than just shitty games, and PSP is not like ps2 graphics. Its better than PS1 but not by that much.

I had a post just now, somehow I quoted myself, went to delete the quote, and it deleted the original post, too. Weird, heh. PSP does have *almost* PS2 graphics, with the games buddy listed, and MGS Port Ops, God of War and Daxter.

really doesn't mean much when 3d on ds looks as bad as/worse than n64. at least some blur would hide those spiky blocks of low polygons.

Some games look pretty good on DS. The Zelda game, Dragon Warrior Monsters: Joker, that Viewtful Joe DS game, The World Ends With You. The FF remakes look alright, too. New Super Mario Bros. art style is awesome.

But yeah, I'm gonna go play The Legend of Dragoon now.

i was talking specifically about the ff remakes, though i guess it's because of that silly balloon head designs and tiny textures so you could see pixelization even on ds's tiny screen.

the ds is probably better for 2d games (or was, psp's screen is bigger, uses 24 bit colors compared to ds's 16 bit, and can do many effects the ds would choke on like add/sub blending, alpha channels, pixel shading style and other cool effects. and slim's motion blur isn't so bad anymore i hear).
