Nah, I wont truly dis the DS. The PSP is simply in an entirely different leauge IMO. I'll probably get a DS when Mariokart comes out for it. ( If my Wife ever lets me use the credit card again! )

BTW- At my work (Gamestop), we had 2 complaints about dead pixels (out of 50+ sales) and one person had a totally defective unit w/ a broken screen. The 2 complainers about dead pixels were both employees and both extremely picky. I couldnt even tell they had a problem until they pointed it out to me. If my unit had that problem I would have probably not even noticed.

So far the sticky square button issue hasn't come up, but IIRC Sony fixed this in the batch headed for North America and replaced any defective Japanese units for free.

My unit has zero dead pixels and works flawlessly. The battery worked for 2-3 hours of Twisted Metal play today and still has 3/4 a charge. Many of our lauch day customers came back the next day for more stuff and all were very happy except the one with a broken unit of course.

All-in-all this is the coolest gaming device I have ever seen. My feelings towards it rival the time I first saw arcade quality graphics on a home TV console or true realistic 3D in a PC game. I've been playing TM online through the wireless network, listening to music and playing games on break at work and my next airplane trip will be the most enjoyable ever. It will be hard to choose how to pass the time...watch a movie, play a game, or listen to some tunes?

The best $250.00 bucks Ive ever spent.

Gawd- Sony should be paying me to write this post!
Who says they aren't?
