Keep it, the day you sell it will be the day Konami announced brand new Castlevania for PSP.

Yeah, you should.
For me it's worth keeping just for Ac!d 2 eventually, but if you're needing to be more practical, than definitely consider selling it. In addition to all the great games already mentioned in this thread, there's Nanostray, Advance Wars, Animal Crossing, & Mario Kart coming up.. I have no idea how the games library flip flopped in favor of the DS somehow, but it did.

No way, they are selling used for 200 bucks. Seriously though, never sell a system. Especially given the fact it's only been out for the summer months which are always slow and we haven't even hit the holidays or a year mark.
The DS is cheap enough just work a part time job for a week and there you go.

Ask yourself, is it important to play 3D, console-type games on the go? Is it important to have a PSP to play movies on the go?
If the answer to these questions is 'no', then go for it. If you're a Nintendo fan, it's essential to have a DS anyway, as most of their current output is coming to that system.

It seems that Wal-Mart and Fred Meyer are still doing it. At least according to this website.

Nothing, that's the problem. I also want to buy a DS (well, buy one back again, I sold mine off when the PSP came out in Japan last year), but I'm waiting until all these "big" DS titles actually get RELEASED before I buy one. I plan on buying one in a few weeks when Castlevania hits Japan, plus Jump Super Stars is about to come out. Already picked up Meteos, but there's nothing else. For all the hype about upcoming titles that the DS got after E3, the current line-up is far worse than the PSP's IMO.
The PSP is going to be getting plenty of games as well; just keep it...it's not worth getting rid of it when you know there will be titles coming out that will make you want to buy one back.
Demi just wants your PSP so he can run emulators on it. That is assuming you have a 1.5 firmware system.

$120 in Gamestop.
$100-$110 on Ebay.
You can buy a used DS now for 60$, depending on where your located. If you DO buy a used DS, be very carefull to inspect it for ANY kind of damage.
My brother had purchased a used one, and it had something stuck to the screen, and he couldnt get it off, so we returned it before we left the parking lot.
Also check all the buttons, and if you can, have them play a game, in BOTH the GBA, and DS slots to make sure it works.
The DS is a great machine, with amazing potential. That's why I bought one, becuase it can do things, no other system, handheld or otheriwse can do.
Kirby is just the start of what I HOPE is a long line of cool, fun as hell, never before done games.

Himuro said:SOLD. I'm sorry demi, but I'm about to go to gamestop in a few minutes.
Just remember to look at the touch screen before you buy it. When I bought mine, I went through a couple of 'questionable' DS' before I finally decided on one that I liked.

Go for it, I sold mine last week and I can honestly say that i'll only miss Lumines. I realized that the only games I was looking forward to (Pro Evo, Virtua Tennis and GTA somewhat) were all things I could just play on my PS2. The average Death Jr reviews I saw around the internets were the deciding factor so I sold it and put the money into my HDTV fund
I'm someone who buys handhelds for the different games they offer, not portability (infact, both my DS and PSP have never even left my house I don't think), and the DS absolutly destroys the PSP in this respect. I may pick a white PSP in about a years time if the amount of ORIGINAL software improves, but I doubt it will.

Does anyone know how much the DS costs in Japan? I'd really like to wait until I get over there in a few weeks and pick up a white or black system, but if it's cheaper here, I'll take silver instead and get one now.
And that's about it. I had Feel the Magic already; it doesn't offer much replay value. And I hear Pac Pix is a like more of a tech demo than a game. I do want to try Kirby though, but as far as I'm concerned, Meteos is the game to have on DS right now.

No drinky yet? wtf is going on>!>!
Yes. Once you've licked the PSP a few times you're pretty much out of stuff to do with it. I'll admit that the DS doesn't taste nearly as good as the PSP, but you'll get over that quickly because you'll actually be playing games on it. When the best game on your system is a program that turns it into another system you're in some shit. Get out while you can.
