Honestly, I have to say Psp. On Christmas, I woke up and check my psp. I left it on my bed. My neice, in all the time we've live there decides to jump on my bed. My psp flying and lands on the flloor, screen first. Then I got my Ds as a present, but it just not the same as the psp. I miss it so much. I preffered playing the online games more than the Ds. So i say get the Psp, and protect it from your niece, lol.

PSP in my humble fanboy opinion is much better. You can access your PS3 from anywhere in the world, watch movies, listen to music, use GPS, skype, playonline, and on and on.

PSP, it is a more powerful handheld, with some darn great games, better graphics, playes music and movies, and has wifi internet capabilities. DS has another few dozen mario games......

As someone who has owned both PSP and DS Lite, I can honestly say that I love 'em both. The PSP has robust features that you can find on any standard console plus you can carry it around, and the DS is great for it's unique twists on gameplay.

My only complaint about the PSP is that it doesn't have dual analog sticks. It's really not a big deal, but if I could make one thing better about the PSP, that would be it.

I have both and love them both. But if I were you I'd probably get the PSP only because Nintendo is gearing up for a sequel to the DS (again) in the near future. The PSP is a good bet in my opinion, plus they have that Kratos red version coming out.

DS Lite. More innovative and it's got the Nintendo name behind it.

I have both and love both for different reasons.

The DS for me is more if a "Pick up and play" sort of console for me. There's a lot of games that are nice 15 minute time kills, and there's a lot of fun multiplayer games for random half hour chunks.

The PSP has a lot more single player, meater game affairs. The games tend to be longer and deeper, and I tend to play it for a longer time.

There's exceptions to both of course (WTF on the PSP for instance is very "pick up and play", and I haven't put down my DS since The World Ends With You came out) but for the most part that's what it seems like.

So it's depends on what you want I suppose. The PSP seems like, literally, a portable playstation. It's a console I can carry around with me, with lots of nice little extras (The homebrew scene is much more mature than the DS, and all of the media abilities of the PSP.)

The DS seems more like a true handheld. Lots of multiplayer fun, amazing 15 minute time killers, things like that.

I love both though, couldn't really choose.

I have both and love both, but I probably play on my PSP more. Now both have great games but what swings it for me is that many of the PSP games are identical to the PS2 and I can therefore basically play home console games without hogging the TV, which keeps the wife happy and I get to finish some of those big RPGs that you have to put the hours into.

i have both and i have to say i like my PSP 10 times better then DS. Psp can play movies (which is good if you travel alot), it does have better graphics, and it is more adult. Really DS only sells more because their are alot of little kids out their who can't get a Wii yet, and because for some strange reason they think taping a screen is some how a revolution.
