It's been able to do that for a while (I made a post in thia area using it)- frankly, don't put too much value in that. It's not particularly good at it- again, down to basic system design. DS wasn't realy built for that kind of thing, PSP was.The PSP is a neat piece of kit. It's just the wrong product.
I was speaking to the US and Canadian users. Is the DS Browser out in Canada and the US? I knew it was out pretty much everywhere else but did it finally make its way here as well? 😕

Right you are... According to Wikipedia the browser will be released on June 4th, 2007 in North America.
Apparently it's going to cost the same as a regular DS game. That's a little expensive considering the DS browser is kinda lacking with no audio, video or flash support. The Wii browser is free/$5 and is far more robust, but I guess they need to charge for the hardware to go along with the DS browser.

Well, the PSP is a game system. Yet they put so much emphasis on the fact that you can watch movies, listen to music, and go online with it, and almost none on the games itself.UMDs failed because why would anyone buy a movie they can download onto their memory stick? PSP game sales are poor for the same reason - very few decent games are being made and people just emulate with it.
And since when have handhelds ever been about graphics? They've always been about fast fun and nothing but. It's the one type of system where you can truly say that graphics are the single least important thing.
The PSP is a good thing in theory. But Sony seriously went the wrong way with...well...all of it.
when was the last time you played your PSP?

Don't dis what you don't own.
People treat the Psp like it was suppose to be some next gen consol.
Nintendo has their hand in the handhelds and it will stay that way. More gameboys SP's were sold than gamecubes.................and by a ton.
More Playstion 2s were sold than Gamecubes.............and by a universe lenghth.
You can't really compare DS and PSP because they offer two differnt things.

I don't own it because there are no games on it that interest me. That doesn't mean I haven't played one before. I have many many times. It's a neat little thing but really not worth paying the amount of money it costs and having to deal with the fact that if you look at it wrong, it'll break.
Maybe if it had decent games, then I might have an interest in it. But why on earth would I pay that much money for something that has no good games?
And don't even say "well it can play music and movies and go online". I have an iPod and laptop for that. If I'm going to buy a game system, then I'm going to decide based on the games available for it and nothing more than that.

Well yeah it does go online, and play movies, and music. They are nice little features and its NOT why I primarly bought the thing.
I wanted to play metal gear, and GTA.
But with all it can do, the thing is dream......mostly when the power goes out during a huge blizzard or rain storm.

Seeing how the PsP is a broken design, considering no second analog stick, I have to give this to the DS. This however is like picking two piles of shit. One pile doesnt smell so bad and plays only children games with poor retro graphics, the other pile smells of horribly wasted potential while utilizing an incredible screen to view your shit through. PsP produces only shit games that smell worse than the system itself, but atleast look good while smelling like shit
I have to take back this statement from two years ago. Although, i still agree with my statement that the analog stick is useless. The PsP has recently impressed the shit out of me. The library of games that it has massed over the years make the system well worth a purchase.
Being able to play movies, music, surf the internet, take pictures is just incredible. PsP rocks
It's also a great device for pirates 😉
Hardware-wise, PSP is obviously miles ahead from DS.
More CPU power, graphics at par with PS2, can play MP3s and MPGs without the use of slot devices (you don't need to use ILLEGAL cartridges like R4DS), a larger and more vibrant screen, lighter, and slimmer.
The games for the PSP are better IMO, for a hardcore gamer like me.
DS has nothing in its library that can rival the sheer awesomeness of such games like God of War or Crisis Core or Dissidia.
