It has an analouge stick get your facts straight it can even play emulators like the zodiac or gp32 as with my understanding. Thats partly what the bug memory stick is for that and mp3s.

yeah, the psp does have an analog stick, so you're missing something.

Well I'll be damned, it does have an analog stick. My bad, sorry.

Actually, it does not have an Analogue stick, but an Analogue Nub, because it slides, and also, emulators are only a possibility, thereÂ´s nothing confirmed about it.

If they made emulators it would probably just come from the developers, like the midway classics, or namco museum. The PSP is not an open system (unlike the Zodiac or GP32) so indie developers would be forced to either get the game dev. kit illegally or find a free solution(or buying, but that is pretty far out of most peoples price range). Also sony has said they will not release the UMD disk writers so emulators would have to be on Sony memory sticks.

Anyway Its interesting that Nintendo is already showing off the hardware. I might have to stop by and check it out, but I will wait till I try the PSP to decide what portable if any is right for me

Well when your going for smaller size you have to sacifice something and with handhelds its tipicly processor speed and graphics. Up until recently all handhelds were about two generations behind the consoles.

ARGH. STUUUUPPPIIIIDDD. We just had a big topic about this in the gamecube/ps2/xbox forum. BITS DON'T MATTER. Just for the record, the DS is a 32 bit machine, the PSP uses a hybrid 32/128 bit cpu.

Does anyone know what games are going to be released along with the DS if any? Or do I have to play a demo for a month? I'm a little concerned since I preordered it.

Super Mario 64 DS
Mario Kart DS
Metroid Prime: Hunters
Urbz: Sins in the City
