    DS is for the poor.The PSP is for the Rich.Which are you?

    Buy it if you want a cheap novelty handheld with N64 and mostly snes type of games.There library isnt that great.Resident Evil,Super Mario,MPH are the only half decent N64 type games.There basicly Ports.So even though The PSP are mostly ports at least there not like 8 or 10 year old redundent games.Nintnedo has to start making games for its adult audience if it wants to be here in the long run.My recomendation is if you have the money buy a PSP but if you dont.Make sure that there are more then a few games you like on the DS before purchasing it.Resident evil is not enough to warrent a purchase of a DS.

    The Readers opinion below me is Dumb and Stupid

    The Playstation 2 is a far more better console than the N64!This guy Shwank or whater his dumb nickname is must be a mario fan if you know what I mean.Now as for the DS its Clearly a concole only a Kid would like.Animal Crossing,Wario Touched? Give me a break.If you like playing with that Stylus pen thing you've seriously got issues.As for me my girlfriend has a DS and even she agrees how childish it is!I agree with the other guys opinions that said the DS was Dumb and Stupid,Outdated and a Kiddie console with no real variety in game choices.Long live the PSP!The real adult handheld console machine.DS= Dumb and Stupid?yeah!!lol,thats so true.Thats why Kids play it!

    For pure gaming pleasure

    Who cares if the PSP has all these little cool bits. My phone can do just the same and the DS has better games that stimulate your eyes ears and mouth!

    DS - Great Games, Great price.

    PSP is way overpriced and overloaded with junk you're unlikely to use. If what you want is a innovative portable gaming console with the prospect of great games both multiplayer and single player at an affordable price then the DS is for you.

    NDS Rocks.

    I bought this gadget last week for my 5 year old boy, which comes with Mario Kart.
    It's an amazing little gadget. At the end of the second day I end up playing it and thinking of buying one for my self now, as I have to wait for my boy to go to sleep before I can use it.
