I had a PSP. I didn't like it. Gaming wise, the PSP is boring. If you're more into having a media player, then you may like the PSP. If you want better, more innovative games with replay value, pick up a DS. I first thought the touch screen was a gimmicky piece of shit, but eventually I gave it a chance and realized that it did bring a whole new level of game play. I find myself playing DS more often than I ever did my PSP. But I guess it depends on the games you want to play. If you have your heart set on playing PS2 games on a portable system, then PSP is for you. Otherwise, if you like fresh games with a whole new interface, get the DS.
