The PSP is great but it only gets great after alot of money, here is the essentials for a PSP.
1) Case, you have to have a case for the PSP no traveling with out it, and make sure it has some decent room for UMD's
2) USB cable, and car adapter, if your going to play in the car
3) 1 or more 1 GB or larger memory sticks, (need to be able to fit music & videos on it).
4) Several UMD games, forget the movies, however to expensive!
5) Good pair of headphones.
With all those accessories the PSP becomes a compentent portable entertainment system. However the problem with the PSP as a portable entertainment system is this. 1) It's a decent media player, but other media players are just so much better, Ipods, have playlists, and the likes, the PSP is a bit clumsy when it comes to media playback, and is incovience, to use sometimes. PSP does play some good games, but you can find most on the PS2, and on the PS2 they naturally play better, bigger screen, better graphics. The PSP could be a serious contender, if they would put some unique software on this thing. The hardware is far superior to the DS, but the software sucks compared to the DS.
The DS accessories so far are as follows
1) Headphones
2) Games
The DS's clamshell design eliminates the absolute need for a case, it also runs longer per charge so you can ditch alot of charging options, the games play smother becuse of the cartridge based media. The software feels unique and well suited for mobile gaming, and is different from full sized console fair.
