Who am I to judge if a man wants to sell his handheld Ferrari for the technological equivalent of a Subaru Justy? If he's that excited about the gaming equivalent of commuter traffic, maybe the DS is the perfect choice for him.
I mean, GEEZUS, he listed Ninten-fucking-dogs. You honestly can't like games and want Nintendogs at the same time. The best cure for that sort of self-loathing is the sort of interminable suffering the Nintendo DS brings -- you just gotta hurt to heal. I should know; Robocop made Makai Kingdom all the sweeter.
Personally, though, I'd still be a little insulted by having to purchase a two-screen GBA with PSOne era 3D support and an awkward control gimmick, but as I've said before: I didn't think they'd sell a single Big-Mouth Billy Bass unit over Christmas 2001, either. For some folks, being stupidly different is enough!

To continue iapetus' lone post along sane lines: why not keep your PSP and just get a DS as well? You know, the smart thing to do?
My favorite part is when all of the PSP fanboys tell us how great the specs are and when you ask what's good on the system they list a bunch of ports and emulators. Jesus. It's like an army of Rain Men driving slow on the driveway on Saturday in a 1949 Buick Roadmaster.

Eh so much wrong info
Gamestop gives 170.00 for used PSP's.. Discount cards (Game Informer/More Cards) dont work on system trade ins for the +10%
Also Gamestop sells Nintendo DS's used for 109.99 took a price drop just yesterday
correct info ftw.

Actually, if you're going to make a car comparison, at least make a fair one and say it's like buying a Honda Civic when you could buy an Infiniti G35 or something. Oh wait, that'd mean they're both worth owning, and you don't want the truth to come out, right?
Yeah, I'd be insulted to buy a car that gets way better gas mileage, is cheaper to insure, and still gets me from point A to point B in roughly the same amount of time for about half the cost, right?
Oh, wait...
Back on topic:It's the games, stupid. Figure out whether the PSP's game selection is worth hanging onto the unit or not, and if it is, save up and buy a DS when you can afford it. Neither has a particularly great lineup yet and the games that are already out probably aren't going anywhere.

Electroplankton
Advance Wars

As long as you already own the PSP, why would you want to purposefully limit the games you could potentially play? If you were debating which one to buy in the first place then of course I could understand choosing the device you felt had the overall better current/upcoming library, blah blah blah, but the DS is cheap and the PSP is such a great machine that I would just hold on to it myself.

You are me sir. I bought my DS at launch same with the PSP. I brought PSP back to Circuit City only thing I missed was Lumines as well. But have fun with Kirby, pick up WarioWare. look foreward to Nintendogs and Advance Wars this month.
Had to edit post, didnt know he purchased already.

hope your "handheld Ferrari" gets you loads of chicks because obviously that's what you bought it for, not to play good games, like on DS. I bet you're real slick when you take out your PSP at the bus stop, or hell better yet, saturday night at the bar. Your pockets must be swollen with womens' telephone numbers.
I just got Untold Legends for PSP because I was getting angry at myself for buying such an expensive toy and letting it rot on the shelf. Boy does that game suck.

I've gotta throw in my own "good move" to the heap. I've had both systems since launch, and the DS is just so much better than the PSP.
Granted, I'm Nintendo's bitch, but the PSP has just been incredibly dissapointing. I know the DS had kind of a slow start as well, but at least I knew that there were tons of good games coming down the line. With the PSP, there are hardly any--especially that I'm willing to pay $40 or $50 for. I currently have zero games for the PSP (Lumines was boring after mastering it), and don't know for sure if I'll be any more this year (wait for prices to lower).
I've thought about trading mine in, but, like has been mentioned, it's tough to do when I know there eventually WILL be good stuff for it. At the same time, I really only need one handheld, and everyone I know has a DS and will not buy a PSP. So when out with friends I really have no reason to have the PSP along.

What's your point. Don't tell me you believe DS game graphics to be better than PSP? Better selection right now I'll accept, more innovative games I'll accept, better graphics though? You gotta be fuckin high.

I though he compared PSP games to PSOne. Then I'm fuckin high
