| Although at first I just didn't like the thing as a gaming system, recently it's gotten some sweet titles and OMG There's an upcoming game called Nova which looks almost as good as Halo!  Even the graphics are impressive. I'm gonna get an Ipod Touch just to play those games. | |

| Games-wise, I think it's pretty damn good.
Compared to PSP and ds I think it's midway.
It's got some better hardcore games than ds (look at Modern Combat, Gangstar, Nova, Ravensword, etc) but the controls seem a little awkward and the games are not always at the standard of psp games but are pretty close.
I think for handheld gaming, its:
PSP>IPHONE>DS
Quality> Quantity.
Just because one system has more games than the other it doesn't mean they're necessarily better. | |

| I just cant see the i-Phone/Pod Touch touch as a serious portable system. Even Nintendo understood that touch screens alone isn't always the best way to control a game. With that said, that doesnt mean that the i-Phone/Pod Touch cant grow into a good gaming platform. only time will tell. | |

| I would rather see cell phones with slide out controllers for portable games than DS & PSP as $200-$250 hardware. | |

| Well the DSi is only 170 and yes, the PSP Go is a totall ripoff. They could have at least made the sliding screen a touch screen so that users could navigate the system menu. As for the cell phone thing. I would hate to see that. Many cell providers overcharge for a lot of their features (especially T Mobile). Can you imagine the mess of having one too many portable gaming platforms. | |

| Only iPod Touch/iPhone game worth getting is Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and that is also on the PSP and DS. | |
