DSi or not to be? That is...

The Question.

I used to have an original PSP before I traded it in to purchase my PS3. I played the PSP a lot for the first year, but the lack of games kept it on the shelf thereafter.

Now I am ready to enter the mobile gaming world again and I need some expert advice. Can someone(s) give a pretty decent review of both PSP 3000 and DSi and which one you recommend? I've read several reviews, but I trust the people on here better than the random blogs I looked at.

If you recommendthe DS, should I get the DSi or DS Lite? What are the best games for DS?

Thanks.

DSLite.

DSi is far, far overpriced. The DSi also forgoes the ability to play GBA games for the ability to buy mini/micro DL games. No deal.

Like the PSPGo, the DSi is overpriced. As a first Time DS owner, go DSLite, way better option.

Also, the DSi has two built in camera's...but they are .3 megapixels, lol.

Thanks for the feedback. Good information. I'm definitely set on getting a DS. I looked a little more in-depth at the game library, and it is extremely solid. I am going to get New Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart DS, and the first Professor game to start...

I don't play GBA games so the backwards compatibility is not an issue. I think I'm leaning towards a used DSi for just $20 more than a new DS. Any more opinions?
