DS for me even though I have a PSP. Developers are already abandoning the PSP. The game sales for it is horrible, theres a lack of new games, and their game library is small.

The DS has plenty of new and existing games, as well as the gameboy advance library, which is why I pick the DS Lite. Though the DSi will be interesting but it seems to lack many things too. I was hoping for a more powerful DS that will take over the DS lite instead it just a small revision with cameras.

I will have to say though that the PSP is a great piece of hardware for homebrewing. Mine is homebrewed and is being used as a media machine now. You can also play backed up games from NES & SNES etc etc.

But still DS ftw imo.

I traded my NDS in for a PSP and I'm so glad that I did.

The PSP has a lot more processing power, so you can player better looking games. Looks aren't everything but it sure does help. In my opinion, the PSP has a better feel to it. It doesn't feel as cheap and fragile as the NDS does. One thing I did notice in the PSP, as opposed to the NDS, is that it gets smears on it, so if you get a PSP, get a protective covering for it.

Also, if you get a psp, you will want to get it Pandorized so you can put homebrew on it. Do some searching on google so you know what I'm talking about. There is a risk of bricking it (google it) and the 2 items that you will need will cost you about a total of 60 dollars, but it's well worth it in the long run.

The Nintendo DS Lite, to me, feels a little cheap. The games are fun but a lot of them get boring after a while. Although, there are tons of NDS games that you can play with the world over wifi. The PSP doesn't have that many global wifi aka infrastructure games. The NDS is also cheaper than the PSP. You can get a browser for the NDS, but it tends to run slow and costs like $30. The PSP has a built in browser which is nice for a handheld, but could be improved. The are about 2 homebrew browsers for the psp that are pretty useful. I actually have Opera's official mobile browser on my PSP.

To sum all of this up, if you want a handheld for playing very nice looking 3D games, storing and playing music, playing movies, making phonecalls with skype (will need a mic), and internet browsing, get a PSP.

If you want a nicely priced handheld for just general on-the-go 2D, and sometimes, 3D gaming, get a Nintendo DS Lite. The Nintendo DS does have a type of homebrew functionality that is a lot less time consuming and frustrating, but it doesn't have as many features as the PSP.

I hope this helped. If you have anymore questions, just ask.

I prefer the DS, and the DSi looks awesome, I just think that the DS has more fun games, while the PSP has the nice looking ones, but then again I just think that the DS is more like the friendly part of handhelds.

IMO
