WATCHING IT ON PSP:

+ Portability!
- Scratability!
- Batteries.
- Tiiiiiny screen.

WATCHING IT ON THE REAL THING (AKA DVD PLAYER):

- No portability!
+ Harder to ruin disks!
+ BIG SCREEN
+ Good sound
+ No batteries that die in 3 hours (or less!)

Yeah, and you can probably get them *cheaper*. O.o''

EDIT: Batteries dying in three hours or less is just BAD. Rule number one about making a portable console... Long battery life. And is it not fitted with rechargable batteries? If so, major double bad.

EDIT: I'd also just like to point this out cos it's fooney.

I just can't wait seeing that console reviewed in Plus... a swedish consumer program.

But I read that the battery life isn't that bad somewhere, it was only three hours under "heavy duty" I think. Still it does have a shorter battery life than DS and SP so...

I can't see why people are so excited about a movie released for this thing, uhm... video games movies usually do suck. Whatever the brand is. Althought some of them get so strange that they are kinda worth to watch becuse of that... (Super mario bros the movie anyone?)

And yes, there is a GBA movie player. Nothing I would be too intrested it, but it does show that even the GBA can play up movies. Althought in lower res...

...althought, is there anything good that could be said for PSP once? I see mostly negative things now.

Good things about PSP:

1. MP3s..you can download them, play them, and all that good stuff.
2. Final Fantasy Advent Children
3. Final Fantasy anything

Ok!

But that's just the point...Square-Enix hasn't been announcing much game for the PSP yet....As for seeing the announcements for the DS...it's more Final Fantasy for DS I guess.

SquareEnix has a few projects in the works for the DS actually. Dunno how many PSP ones they have aside from the DVD port and the Crisis Core game.

Why use it as an MP3 player though? Couldn't you only fit around 8-9 songs onto the basic memory stick?

Ummm...Crystal Chronicles vs. Crisis Core.
Advent Children vs. 3

I'm picking PSP in the first category. FF: CC sucked. At least FF7: CC may have some form of potential. Advent Children loses to FF3. Square's FF: The movie blew a broom handle.

Colleen, people would buy it to play MP3s due to a syndrome called technowhoritis or idiosis. Basically, kiddies take mommy and daddy's money and waste it on something that will suck.

Graphically, the FF movie was impressive as hell. But that's pretty much it's main strong point.

I thought Square just wanted to get out of the movie business in general after TSW basically drained their financial resources. Guess things change quickly in a few years.

Technowhoritis has this problem where it is symptomatic to get the newest, shittiest and most expensive technology. These are early adopters of such awesome feats of engineering like...Laser disc, Beta-Max, DVD-A, and various other dumb inventions. Their mom and dad give them money, they spend it.

Kyouji, I really, really, really, really, really, really doubt it will be good. Square's FMV are generally sub-par compared to industry standards and are just pretty. Given that it is also set in the most "beloved" and "intriguing" of the FF universes it will probably have so many plot holes that Tommy Lee's mighty junk will have problems filling them in.

Ok!

Purely buying a console because it has "Final Fantasy" is a tad stupid.

Final Fantasy - Crystal Chronicles is NOT Final Fantasy, same goes for Final Fantasy VII - Crisis Core , they just added the name to sell it. Like in the past with Final Fantasy Legend, Final Fantasy Adventure and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. Still don't understand why Square keeps wasting it's name with this...

Ok!

Of course not 6 Final Fantasy games, and what's the point in having a Final Fantasy if it isn't really Final Fantasy but only the name?

No, the announced games so far for DS are:

- New Secret of Mana
- New Dragon Quest Monsters
- New Slime Quest
- Egg Monster Hero
- Final Fantasy - Crystal Chronicles
- Final Fantasy III

This is correct...Beta was the technically superior format; VHS was cheaper, however, which is mainly why it made its way into the mainstream.

Let me clear this up for you Knuckle Heads (Take it easy now, I just like using that word)

You buy a system not only because its "cool" but because it has good games. You buy an XBox for Halo 2 a Gamecube for RE4 a PS2 for GTA (Those are just examples) For ME the hit on the PSP would be FF7:Crisis Core. NOW THEN I wouldnt by said consoles for one game alone. I buy them because they not only have an awesome exclusive but a good variaty of good games. Not only does the PSP have that, but it can play MP3s and Movies. Thats worth for ME and all I got to say on that.

Ok!

But tell me...how can you be SO sure about a game being great when all you have is a name, no screenshots, no info nothing else...

Same goes for you OK!. Those six square-games might be fucked up attempts at trying to make something good for the PSP, in effect.

Anything like "The PSP IS TEH sux becuz VAMPRIE CHRINSL IS SOOO BAD!" or "BEST EVER, GTPSP is going TO BE SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD". You don't know. What I do know is that Sony is dumb in their marketing and service and public relations ways.
