Just beware: If you're getting a DS, they're sold out EVERYWHERE. I looked around at no less than 5 stores today, ranging from a mall Gamestop to Best Buy to Target, and ALL were sold out. (Well okay, the Gamestop had a couple of pink DS's in. But like hell I'm going to play a pink DS in public...)

I'll probably just end up ordering the damn thing from Amazon.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Don't forget that you connect your PSP to your PS3, you should check out all the things you can do with that.

Since you have PS3, getting PSP now. Sony will release more PS games that can be played on both PS3 and PSP (although they don't look great on HDTV). You can also take advantages of the new blu-ray 2.0 functionality.

I have both PSP and DS and I like them both. Get a DS later when you have extra cash.

Great post CrazzyMan.  Finally someone providing him with information instead of opinion.  

That said, my opinion is that they are both great, and it really depends on which genres you prefer.  I own both, and like both, but play my DS more because my favorite genres are RPGs, Platformers, and Action-Adventure games.

Get a DS, I played my friends PSP during study period for exams and it is really fun as well, but DS has a larger library of great games.

Guys the psp has BETTER GAMES, just not as much as the DS.

If you want to play barbie world, and mario go DS

If you want to play MGS, KH, FF VII, Star ocean, or other amazing looking games like star wars go psp.

Personally

psp> DS

In games. And every thing else, DS is just cheap and has mario.
