First off, don't mention the DS. I don't plan on getting one and never will.

The conclusion that I have come to is to get a PSP. I don't mind the battery stuff. I'm a hard core gamer and I'm already going to spend(well my parents will) around $200 for the thing, so I don't mind getting another battery. I am also going to get what ever kind of combo pack that they come out with. Then I'll get a car adapter once it comes out.

For the games, there are alot of games on the PS2 I would like to play but I would rather play my Xbox. I almost positive that there will be a Ratchet & Clank. I really like my platformers/rpg's. If there's no Burnout with-in 5 months I'll get the Need For Speed game.

It's gonna be so cool to see movies on it. You could see a Lord of The Ring movie, but don't plan on seeing the credits. The thing is if I watch a movie I'll most likely be in the car, so I can just use the car adapter. Then again i have a PS2 in my dad's truck, but that's not the point.

If I ever want to download music I can just get itunes and just get some blank cd's

I just want your opinion. You can't really compare a portable gaming system and a mp3 player, but my parents can only aford one.

well if yo get a psp be prepaird for the game library to run short when the DS begins outselling the psp.you wanna know why.Nintendo pretty much owns the handheld market.There have been several compedeters to the gameboy big and small most of them had higher res screens better graphics and a multetude other improvements but all of them failed you wanna know why.the new systems when they start out are as expensive as a consol but the nintendo systems are usualy pretty damn cheap when the come out and there price usualy comes down faster than compedeters wich means more people will buy a gameboy than the compeditor product.Also the gameboys usualy use less batterys and hold them longer than there compeditors wich means that 1)nintedno has a astronamical lead over the psp 2)The DS will be abel to down in price faster and 3)most game makers usualy go with the system most popular product on the market.That is a triple whammy against sony and for nintendo.Also the consumers have always favord the gameboy and all other handhelds fail in the market neo geo has and the ngage is doing i have very little doubt that the psp will follow in there footsteps.

iPod. PSP has more features and -blam!- but the battery life is 3 hours...at least if you're playing games or listenin to tunes. And plus, the PSP only accepts ATRAC format for its music...I think. God, Sony sucks at file formats. ATRAC...wow.

music. Music is my life. If you threw out my Xbox, I wouldn't be as pissed off as if you threw my CDs, and my iPods out.

I'd suggest whatever comes in favor of you, most likely the PSP. If I were you though, I would get the Ipod or some other type of mp3 player. They are more compact and easier to carry around. Don't you get tired of carrying a CD Player around with a case full of CD's? I was so I got a Rio Nitrus mp3 player. It can't hold as much stuff as an Ipod but it works just right for me. Just a little suggestion for you if you want to ease up on the price.

By the way, music is my life too. Thats just me though...

Apparently some of you can't read. I asked you kindly to not mention the Nintendo DS. So now I have to ignore your posts. For you others thou, I do thank you for your opinions. Keep them coming. I actually never owned any cd's and don't really care for music. When I'm playing Halo 2 online I'll just turn on my local rock station on my stareo if I want to listen to music. I'm only 14 so I can't have a job yet. But I do plan on getting one when I turn 16.
Once again, I don't really care about the battery issues and I will get a few items to conpincape(sp) for it.

A Transformers game for the PSP would be pimp. I loved the one on the PS2.
