For you guys who got both handlet, please tell me which one i should buy for my birthday, my parents are able to buy what i want so please give me reasons for each console

Please do not post just a console because you are fan of Nintendo or Sony. I want to enjoy the console i would get :)

BTW: I got a normal DS as soon as it shipped, but i just got mario kart ds,super mario 64 ds and animal crossing, i enjoyed it but you know those arent very good games so i selled the DS, although I think the new black ds lite is sexy to carry with, and also to play, so maybe you got a taste of what games i like.

well DS games are very different, if you're ready to try out some of the most bizzare titles in the time being, get the DS, with games like pokemon, elite beat agents, hotel dusk, phoenix wright, brain age etc. then yes the DS is difinetly going to please you, the DS also has a great future line up, such as the legend of zelda: phantom hour glass, final fantasy 12, ninja gaiden, dragon quest, and more titles on the horizen.

however, if you're into multimedia features, wow graphics, and games similiar to those of consoles, PSP is your friend, you can get to play great titles such as metal gear:portable ops, tekken, GTA, etc. with upcoming titles such as god of war, devil may cry, final fantasy, and much more, PSP will be your best buddy for a while ;)

Depends really, do you want to play slightly compromised console games on the go, or games that can't be found on other consoles at the cost of simpler graphics? The PSP is a decent handheld with (to me) sub-average multimedia capablities, while the DS is a great handheld, with no multimedia capabilites whatsoever. But if somehow in this present day, you don't own an Ipod and you want to listen to music, then you might want the PSP.

But if you want really unique games like Trauma Center and Phoenix Wright while still staying faithful to the old games, with games like Advance Wars: DS, Castlevania, Mario Kart, and more, and multimedia doesn't matter to you, then the DS is definitely the way to go. I have no idea what genres of games you like so I'm just presenting what's the highlights of both. The PSP is a graphical powerhouse, with some great (console based) games, and the DS is the fun (and innovative in a good way) machine with great games as well. Really depends on genre preference though.

I have both, and rarely play my PSP. My opinion is that you should get a DS, as the games are just better and a ton of fun.

Edit: Oh, you have a DS? Stick with that and forget PSP.

If you sold your DS the first time, why would you like DS again? Although I must say you missed out on some great games like Yoshi's Island DS, New Super Mario Bros, Metroid Prime Hunters, Brain Age, etc.. You might prefer the PSP for it's extra features and your sig speaks volumes.

If it were up to me, I'd still pick the DS though, I just like Nintendo (I've owned every Nintendo console excluding virtual boy)

The PSP is really nice. Loads of features, great looking games. It all depends. If you need a handheld system to fill in 5-10 minutes gaps in time, it's not for you. But if you're looking for a console on the go, it's great.

well, the highlighted text says that your parents are able to buy what you want, but you didnt specified nothing about consoles..

only handhelds...why dont you get a xbox360 ??? really good games GeoW,Halo3,MassEffect,Assassins Creed, 

Fable2, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Elveon, COD3, RSV, Oblivion etc etc etc etc.........

 

but if you dont want a 360/ps3/wii......go with the DS once again...its worth to get, good games, nice price, 

enjoyable handheld....

the psp is also good, but there are many games that are also in the PS2...its more like a

multimedia console...also has good games ...im on the same situation DS...PSP.....wich one to get

im declining more for the DS...good games comming....cheaper...longer Battery Life....etc etc XD

Maybe you can get me ideas to get an 360 elite, it looks cool8)
