if you already have a DS, i'd say get a PSP...i really dont see the big deal about the DSi and as far as i know, the psp does multimedia better anyway and the DSi doesn't play GBA games...

if you already have a DS, get a PSP

if you have neither, get a DS lite

ds i , it has an already big library and still growing,

psp doesnt have a big library that doesnt consist of ports of other platform games,

and the ones that are psp made, are ported to ps2 shortly after wards , so either way its your decision on what youd like

I can't speak for the Dsi... I've only played it briefly (but was impressed for what I played)

I own a PSP and really, really enjoy it when I play it (on the road, or work is really slow)... it all depends... if ur a Nintendo nut get a Dsi... but if you are more graphics hungry and really like good fighters, I'd fo sho go PSP.

ThePSP is a much better value and a much better deal.

The DS is a great machine, but the DSi is super, super overpriced. So, for the money get a PSP or DSLite.

DS has better games, but is over priced. So as much as I love my DS, I would say PSP is better value in this case.

A large library doesn't mean much if you're not interested in those games. TC, I suggest you visit GameRankings, Metacritic, or even GameSpot right here and go through the games available on both the DS and the PSP. Take note of the games you'd be interested in, and make a decision based on that. Sure, both the DS and PSP have multimedia features, but at the end of the day, its the games that really matter.

Only a handful of PSP games are ported to the PS2 after - and they're almost always terrible ports. You're also assuming that TC has a PS2, which may or may not be true, and thus not apply to the TC.

Wait till after e3 if you want a psp. They may change the system and the old systems will be dead. Their thinking of going to Blu-Ray.

Hmmm. Good question.

I have a PSP, and im not impressed with it, never have been. It has so few games, compared to the DS. It's much better value though.

The DSi is overpriced, so i'd probably just get a DS light, but wait until after E3 as Ninty may announce that they're taking advantage of the DSi with exclusive games.

The DSi has a better library no doubt, but the DS Lite has an even better library because it has DS + 1000 or so GBA titles.

For $170 you should either get a PSP, or a DS Lite + some games.

Don't get a PSP yet but wait for E3 because they might announce a new one so wait.

But if you have to choose right now then get the DSi because I like my PSP but there are barely any games for it, the DS is about what is here now, the PSP is all hype and whats going to happen.

It's very difficult to read your post without laughing at the ridicule.

The DS has better games but the best choice for multimedia stuff. I suggest you get a DS Lite, and an Ipod Touch

I'd say PSP for a multimedia device and games. But that's because I like music and web-browsing as much as gaming. Depends how much you value gaming, and what type of games you like. I also like the thought of playing PS2 games on a portable device. Sounds cool.

You can also watch movies on your PSP, so yeah, it's a great deal for multimedia.

DS for RPGs and side scrollers. PSP for shooters, and fighters and and adventure games. E3 will also bring a ton of PSP game announcements.
