Let me start out by saying the PSP is dazzling. It has a wide screen TFT LCD, has brilliant graphics, can display photos, and it can play movies, music, or games.

The PSP is bundled with a carrying case, non interactive demo disc, headphones,cloth,PSP instructions(You'll need them!) PSP quick reference guide, and the first 1 million have a spiderman 2 DVD.

The quality of the movies are amazing. It's like watching a HD TV movie. This is sony's first time entering the handheld market. I wonder if Microsoft will? Microsoft blew others all away with its Xbox, and its new Xbox 2 coming out soon.

The PSP has  USB port, which the Nintendo DS doesn't. You plug it up to your computer, and can transfer your saved files from games (sending it to your friend so he can use that file), rip movies off the internet and play them on your computer, and put MP3's and ATARC's on it.

Will the PSP fail?

Look at the section PSP VS DS.

One more thing.
