As you the readers know, I have recently obtained a PSP. I have now composed a contest between the two, taking a feature that is on both and comparing it to each other. This should get interesting!!
1. Battery Life: The PSP battery lasts for up to 5 hours and 45 minutes. While the DS Lite, while on the most battery sucking mode, can last for up to 8 hours! Winner DS Lite!
2. Buttons: As most of you know, it was complained about that the buttons on the DS Lite and regular DS were too close together. Well, the PSP does not have this problem. The PSP also has easier to reach sound, start, and select options. The PSP also has an anolog stick!! However, the DS Lite has something the PSP does not. The touch screen takes the place of buttons in most of the games. This is quite different. But there is no winner in this match. TIE!!
3. Screens: The DS Lite is very unique when it comes to the screens. It has one LCD screen on its top half, and another one that is also touch sensitive on the bottom. This looks like the DS wins-
WAIT!! The PSP though has a very high definition wide screen (not to mention huge) LCD screen. It can also hook up to any HD Tv. TIE!!
4. Games (physical): The DS Cartridge versus the PSP UMD. Well, the DS cartridge is much, much smaller. That much is certain. However, the PSP does deliver more high def games. This would be a tie, if it weren't for the fact that the PSP UMD can NOT hold memory. Winner: The DS LITE!!... Actually, this is a tie. You see, if you lose a DS game, you have to buy another one and start all over. With the PSP, you lose the game, not the memory. The PSP has a memory stick that holds the memory. All you have to do is buy another of the same game. You DON'T have to play the game all over again. Tie.
5. Gaming Experience: The PSP delivers a high def action experience. The DS delivers an in game, interactive experience. This is more bias than facts. The PSP is more of a hard-core gaming device, but is still open somewhat to casual gamers. The DS Lite however, is more of a casual gamer system, but is still somewhat open to hard-core gamers. Everyone will have a different winner for this contest.
6. Sound: Well, the device made by the Tv, camera etc, company would win this. It is to be expected. They are Sony after all! The sound on the PSP is much more able than the DS Lite, and the sound is not to mention louder! Which most people do like. It's sound system is also harder to bust. (Yes, the sound does break in systems. But only after a very long time)
7. Portability: This is also another bias contest. The PSP is slim, but somewhat long. The DS Lite is short, but somewhat thick. I guess it just depends on what kind of pants your wearing, or how much room is left in your traveling gaming bag.
8. Backward Capability: PSP, LOSER!! The PSP has no system before it. However the DS Lite can play the GBA games. DS Lite is the winner of this contest!!
9. Graphics: Once again, Sony PSP wins. It's really to be expected. Sony makes TVs for crying out loud!! The PSP (sadly) WIPES OUT the DS Lite in graphics. Although, if Sony couldn't make better graphics, I would be a little disappointed. Cause that would mean that Sony didn't try very hard!!
10. Battery Charge: I do not have the official charge times. However, they both seem to take about half the time to charge as it does to wear the battery out. So this would be a tie.
Final Outcome: DS Lite has 2 points, the PSP has, 2 points!! These are obviously two very evenly matched systems. If you were to ask me which one would be better to get, does anyone know what I would say? Hey! I'll just put up a poll. Let's see if you guys get it right (although one person really visits this site). Your friend in gaming,
CPU12 The Nintendo Freak
Good Luck.

My friend and I were recently talking about how technology has become so integrated in our day to day lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory decreases, the possibility of copying our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about all the time.
