PSP... Dynasty Warriors and Metal Gear Acid
DS... Pictochat and a screen that scratches from overuse of the damn pen.

Winner = PSP

Simply conflict of Gameplay vs Graphics.

I'm gonna go for Gameplay. DS.

DS...I have more chance of affording it

Incidently, for all you Americans, if you want a PSP, GameStop is still taking reservations on the third shipment. All you need is a $50 deposit (which goes toward the purchase price). The deposit is completely refundable so there is no risk of losing your money if you find the system elsewhere. The third shipment is slated for about a week from now and, as far as I know, that is the soonest that anyone can expect to get a PSP (the first two shipments were almost completely reserved before the March 24 release.)

I'm not at my store right now so I'm working off of memory here. Games currently available for the PSP are: Ape Escape, Darkstalkers, Dynasty Warriors, Gretzky, Lumines, Metal Gear Acid, Need for Speed Underground: Rivals, NFL Street 2, Ridge Racer, Spiderman 2, Tiger Woods PGA, Tony Hawk's Underground 2: remix, Twisted Metal, Untold Legends, Wipeout:Pure, and World Tour Soccer.

Upcoming titles include Grand Theft Auto, Fifa Soccer, Madden 2006, and NBA Showdown.

The PSP can play games, music and movies. The Value pack retails for 249.99 (in California the tax rate is 7.75 so that puts the price at $269.36) and includes the system, headphones, a carry case, a 32MB memory card, Spiderman 2 (movie) and a demo for two games. I'm uncertain if Spiderman will be included in the third shipment. Memory cards are $39.99 for 128 MB, all the way up to $89.99 for 512 MB with the $149.99 1GB memory card still up and coming (and reservable). Memory cards can save games, music and movies. Also, movies are slated to be released later this month.

The PSP and the DS are roughly even on the number of games available for each (which sucks for the DS as it has been out for months)

The DS can play games and has a chat option that assumes close proximity. It retails at $149.99 and has no extras.

I think Nintendo is about to get the crap beaten out of them by Sony.

I hate to sound like your parents, but you guys should be real careful where you use and store these things. A recently released $250 pocket gaming tool is a hot item. Be careful not to let them get stolen.
