Hey my vote goes to ds. Its just so inovating it gives developers a chance to really get their hands dirty and create something wonderfull. Im also going to list the pros that i like about ds and why i do not like the psp.
Pro's of Ds

:
Backwards compatibility with GBA, GBC, GB games

Touch screen (awesome...like a palm)

Voice recognition (can tell the character what to do ie:move forward)

WiFi can play with anyother ds owner in the range(30ft-100ft, up to 16 players can join a game with 1 carttridge) you can also connect to the internet if you have a wireless router or if you have a lan you can have unlimited numbers of people in a game.

Surpasses N64 graphics and can show stunning 3d graphics

The cartridges hold up to 1gigaBYTE of information. This may be about .8 less than the psp's umd disks this cartridges are called flash cards and are considerably less to manufacture(from what i hear)Also if you check eb games they already have games on sale. And specifically said "The ship date and retail price have not been confirmed and therefore are subject to change. If the retail price is decreased you will receive the lower price." So my guesss at least 15 dollars less

Has nintendos logo on it

(just kidding but nintendo is the leader in handhelds)

Best of all the price is in the range of 150-200 dollars which is so much better than what the psp's range is 300-400 dollars( i dont have alot of cash, used it on a handycam)

Battery power, nintendo stated more than psp at least 10 hours i think

Now on to the psp...It uses a new media device called umd (universal media disk) this disk is smaller then a gamecubes but this is also gives your games chances to be lost or scratched...The games are also going to be a price tag of about 50 dollars.

The graphics may be stunning (close to ps2) but who wants to buy a 50 dollar game and play it on a small screen when you can play it on your big screen with surround sound(play it on your ps2)

Battery power a big issue for me..because my plane ride to my home country is 22 hours (2 flights) i live in illinois my home country is sri lanka south of india. The estimated amount of battery power is 6 hours gameplay 10 hours music and about 2.5 hours of movies :shocked: (how can you watch lotr, anyone remember gamegear?) Sony better fix this or it may lose this fight to the better handheld even if it has superior graphics.

Also most of the games for the psp are mostly going to port games from the psp. SO this may discourage you from playing it on your big screen...Unless you travel alot and dont get time from playing your ps2...

So at the end its up to. If you like more inovating new games that give gaming a new experience vot for the ds. but if you like your ps2 so much that you'd jump of a cliff to save it(i dunno) then vote for the psp...
