I've played my friend's DS and I've played some DS demo's at retail stores and I'd have to say it is a very enjoyable handheld. I played Wario Ware Touched and I had a lot of fun with it.

Ever since I bought the PSP, I've been playing it non-stop. I've always told myself that I would never fall into the handheld market because I never really play games on the go or while traveling. But to my surprise with the PSP, I'm playing everywhere now. Including music that I put on it.

The PSP changed the way I game... in fact I've played the PSP more the past week and a half more than I've played my PS2. But eventually that will change when I buy God of War. But back to the point, I'd have to say..

The DS and the PSP are great machines, no doubt about it, but since this is asking for opinionated discussion I'd have to say I enjoy the PSP a lot more.

Of course the DS has it's fun filled games and it's very enjoyable. But the games out for the PSP and the games I have for it, all appeal to me more, and are that much more enjoyable to me.

Hence, I enjoy the PSP more, but to avoid implication... the DS is also a wonderful machine.

And what would I suggest more? Well, it all depends on your game taste, and what you're looking for right now.

In my opinion, if your looking for in-depth games, and immersed gameplay the PSP is the way to go, with a bigger screen and great launch titles.

The DS is a party pleaser, where lots of people can have fun with it and play their favorite games.

I suggest to get the PSP to those who are pondering the decision, considerably because of the bigger LCD and the sharper resolution it gets. It also has some of the best launch titles out there. Untold Legends, Wipeout, Ridge Racer, Darkstalkers, Dynasty Warriors... a lot of fun games.

I let my friend's brother ( a very avid Nintendo fr3ak ) play the PSP with Untold Legends inside and these were his exact words... not mine:

"Ok... now i'm almost sure the DS will get owned."

Again.... his words.... not mine. So I can almost imagine what others may think after playing the PSP (yes... after playing it....not just speculating).

Dark Samurai's brother is now hooked on Untold Legends....
