Castlevania for the PSP Unveiled 55
1up has the news that Castlevania is coming to the PSP for the first time. Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles will bring not one but two games from the classic side-scroller series to the portable console. The pack will include the title Rondo of Blood, which is a brand-new release for the United States, as well as the much beloved Symphony of the Night. The network is featuring an extensive preview from Jeremy Parish, as well as video and screenshots of this sure-to-be-bestseller PSP title.

For serious portable gaming, the PSP rocks.
It suffers from a lack of attention by game developers, but the GTAs, Loco Roco, Syphon Filter, and MGS: Portable Ops are all great games, and this year it looks like there will be a ton of developers jumping on the bandwagon, with Final Fantasy, Crush, Castlevainia, and the PS1 back catalogue.
It's true that a lot of people watch videos and play music on it. I keep several hours of the most recent Adult Swim shows on my memory card, just in case I find myself in the mood for vegging out during my morning commute. It's just so easy to get TiVo shows and windows Media Center shows on to your PSP, that why wouldn't you?
That being said, I would never have bought it for the media features. The power of the console is way ahead of the DS, Nintendo just has the benefit of being in the handheld market for a solid decade ahead of Sony. But given the option between a WII and a PSP (about the same price point), I'd take the PSP any day.

Links don't really work... if you can't take my word for it that the current score is 30-26, pick DS or PSP as the console, and allow at least 40 results. I used a minimum vote count of 20.
