Wow thats an awesome feature i wasnt aware of. Does DS do likewise?
DS has a sleep feature. I'm not actually sure if it would go into sleep automatically if I let it go... I never tested that before.

Way to miss completely what I was saying. It's fairly easy to produce counter-arguments when you completely avoid what the person was saying in the first place. Honestly I don't give a shit about the bump-mapping, the framerate or any other superfluous terms to describe clock consuming endeavors.
The fact that they went out of their way to describe in a pretty lengthy and unneeded way the industry buzz-words of why Ridge Racer is such a strain on the PSP is my argument.
This is the PSP side of the site.
I care about those fancy buzzwords, how about that? I
needed to read that in this article. So their goes your argument! What they did was appropriate - they described the reasons,
in detail, about why they chose Ridge Racers for the test. When I read my articles I don't like it to be, as someone said earlier in this thread, "The Reader's Digest version." I want it to be as in-depth as possible so I am as informed as possible. Please note that you don't have to read a God-Damned thing at IGN so if it offends your poor sensitive mind then all you have to do is avoid IGN. Because they're so biased against DS! I mean! So biased that they even
lied about battery life, am I right? Not like their honest Gamespot cousins, that's for sure!
Seriously. Hop off the conspiracy train. CHOO CHOOOO!

It augments IGN's position that PSP is the better system. Whether or not you feel the same as they do is immaterial, because as soon as you come to this realization the article is immediately biased. It's not any sort of distorted logic that leads me to this conclusion. IGN has stated they prefer the PSP and it shows in every facet of their dubious jorunalism.
First of all, IGN is not a "borg" site. They are allowed to formulate opinions about systems and they are allowed to favour them. In truthful fact, they would be doing a disservice to their readership if they DIDN'T voice their opinion on the various products to cover. It doesn't matter if some dumb freakin' Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft fanboys bring out the pitchforks because of something they said. Those types of people, you included, need to take a little time aside to mature a bit. IGN, or any other gaming site, is not here to
cater to your touchy sensibilities. They can prefer anything and they can write that they prefer something. And this is without me even systematically breaking down why you're so wrong about the IGN bias, which I have done before.
So, what would IGN have to do to NOT be considered biased? Would they have to say they prefer DS? Would they have to not say anything at all?
I wouldn't want them to not say anything at all, that's for sure. That's not good journalism. Part of good journalism is stepping up to the mound and covering something they feel the "public" needs to know despite possible outlash.
Now, mind you, I don't like IGN at all, mostly because the quality of their writing is equivalent to tic-infested crack monkeys. But I do find this whole conspiracy theory most N fans have at this point to be rather hilarious.
