i played both PSP and Nintendo's DS and i have to say i think the PSP is better than the DS. and I'm not saying that the DS doesn't kick ass. all I'm saying is i would rather buy a PSP. the only problem with me wanting to buy one is the ridiculous price($250 ). i will not spend that much on a hand held system. the Nintendo DS is a lot cheaper ($150 ;)) with some pretty cool games.
