i have had a ds for 2 years the only con i can think of are friend codes and graphics ( if your a graphics whore)but there are games with n64 graphics, ff3 and the coming ff4 and a list of other games. other than that i would reccommend the ds lite or original ds your choice, there's also a huge amount of good games

pro: free wifi , touch screen when done right, dualscreen helps with maps and showing stats and so on, price, built in mic or you can by the headset, has an alarm which i use from time to time, keeps the date these are my pros other ppl may differ.

cons: friendcodes, wieght if you have the original ds

I have both a DS lite and PSP slim. If you want the pro's and con's of owninw the ds.

pro:battery life,wifi , touch screen/dualscreen, faster load times, price is a little lower than a psp, and few nintendo only titles: The Legend of Zelda: PH, Pokemon Diamond, Animal Crossing, Final Fantasy: CC, and the Mario games.

cons: friendcodes, fingerprints on glossy outsides (though the black psp suffers from this to), limited graphics compared to the psp, and no to limitedmultimedia capabilities.
