This statement is pretty contradictory. Using the stylus = playing the DS with only one hand holding the DS. That sucker gets heavy after a while of holding with only one hand = very poor ergonomics. Of course I have the original fatty so maybe it's a lot better with the lite. Either way I never found the stylus to be ergonomic at all.

The lite is a lot more comfortable, Insight.

In case any ds owners don't have a set of these yet;



I suggest you buy some right now.

Any fps, elite beat, zelda, you name it, add +10. Not kidding. They're that good.

You're in very very poor shape if you can't hold a ds in one hand with out any problems. Even with ds phat, I have never had any complaints about the wait of the console. Maybe you should work out or something

Wow, mature comeback. I'm not saying its crippling, I'm saying it surely isn't ergonomic. Especially for a system aimed at small children...

Both the PSP and DS Lite make my hands/wrists sore within 15 minutes or so of playing.

The DS and PSP are both fine when they're being used for games, but damn, that stylus is uncomfortable. Playing anything that uses the stylus for more than menu selecting is painful.

I dislike the controls on both handhelds. The stylus on the DS is uncomfortable, and the squares edges and analogue stick of the PSP suck.

I have had no problems with controlling ds or psp

Ok so let's see, on my DS I can chat on MSN messenger, on AIM, on IRC, I can use it to control my computer mouse, use it as a wireless gamepad to play games on my PC, remotely controll Winamp, make VOIP phone calls, surf the internet (and I'm not even talking about the official browser).... I still don't see what the PSP homebrew scene has to offer that the DS doesn't have.

Ps1 emulation. (Don't know much about it though)

The ds barely has snes emu, unfortunately.
