I say DS for fun, PSP for media. PSP's games are ok but you can't go past DS for games! Plus DS has Wi-Fi!

As for me, I have both lol

Get a DS Light. Reasons?:
DS's have better game(i think)
DS's have the R4, which you can have heaps and heaps of games.
Will keep making games for quite a while

They are perfectly good reasons to get a DS instead of a PSP

^That is a point. Do you really expect a non-biased opinion about DS vs PSP if you come to a DS based website?

I say weigh up the two and see what you like best, try not to rely on someone else to make your decision.

you must get a ds. Its is the wise decision. Have any questions just pm me. Oh and if you want to get info from users about games. Go to the review section and read reviews, it helped me buy games alot

DS IS BETTER THAN PSP, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BOTH OF THEM

I think the DS has a better variety of games to choose from. The touchscreen capabilities on the DS over the PSP is also a plus.

Sometimes if i'm trying to decide on something to purchase, I look up amazon.com and read the user reviews. You get an idea of the good, the bad and the ugly that way. I've found it helpful in deciding on games in the past...i'm not sure if amazon.com have DS and PSP but they have near everything else.

I haven't owned a PSP, my brother did and he rarely played it, only when he really had nothing else to do and eventually sold it on ebay.
I think that the games on DS are much more addictive and fun, and the DS has wi-fi, also as nighty said, DS's have R4 and M3 so you can store plenty of Ro...Homebrew!

personally I dont play my DS a lot anymore. I am going to get a PSP when the new one comes out. The PSP is a lot more cheaper now.

I like the PSP games over most of the DS games. The sound is better and the visuals are better.

you can play a pretty decent quality platform game on the PSP. The DS platformers and racers are pixely and not good enoguh. For a mario kart game its okay because its mario kart so graphics dont have to be great but with the other games the graphics suck. The DS is only good for puzzlers and SNES-like graphic games. The 3D stuff on the DS just plain sucks comapred to the PSP. Thats the truth. The only advantage it really has over a PSP I think is the touch screen and microphone which gives it some great functionality. Then youve got pokemon and mario and all that nintendo related game stuff.

The PSP is a powerhouse of audio visual quality for a gaming handheld in comparison to the DS.
The PSP has a lot of good games on it such as fighting games, racing games and some really really great puzzlers like the lumines series and the DJ series.
I think the PSP is becoming more appealing to me now but I still like my DS for the brain games and the puzzlers.

If youre not crazy about Nintendos games like pokemon and mario then maybe yous hould get a PSP instead.
The touch screen is not really necessary it just makes it a little bit more fun for some games. Same with the microphone. Theyre just gimmicks to gamers and they'll wear off. Its also annoying having to hold a stylus a lot. Do you find its annoying writing with a pen all the time? Thats what its like trying to game with a stylus for over an hour and you have to grip it with the ends of your fingers. Its tiny and really annoying. The PSP is probably becoming the better console now that its cheaper.

A PSP for $250 - $275 and a DS for $175 - $200

I was going to say, that's an odd question for a DS dedicated site.

And if your after a PSP, you can have mine (no, not really). I'm not a huge fan of the games available on it, but when it's hacked to death it's alright. It held my interset for about 6 months, so it's not too bad...

Now it sits in my drawer with my Gameboy, Gameboy pocket, GBA and SEGA Game gear....

ATM, DS FTW!

ahem PSP has wifi and a 2GB memory stick is $50 as opposed to $100 M3

so, for homebrewing, a PSP homebrewery pack is $325 and DS is $300...
PSP is only $25 dearer
