Convince me which handheld to get please!!!

Ok i am buying a new handheld system but both the DS and PSP intrest me which is where you guys come in. Please try to convince me to buy which ever one you want by telling me whats good about it and why. Under this i put my thoughts on both so anyone who is helping me these are my current thoughts on them.

PSP

1. I like sony more than nintendo, 2. I own a PS3, 3. games look better but loading times annoy 4. more expensive than DS 5. scared of a redesign after i buy one 6. I hear about problems with controls

DS

1. Less expensive all around, 2 smaller, faster load times, 3. I dont own a wii 4. games not as apealing 5. I would feel safer with DS cause its less likely to fail 6. not a huge mario fan but i would probobly get a mario game

if you recommend me with a system please list good system games also i prefer action games

PSP.

All those PS games you love to go.

it really depends how you are going to be playing your handheld.

If you're going to be in a stationary spot for a long time (w/ power supply) and you need something portable to pass the time go w/ the psp.

If you need a handheld randomly, and really weird places while running errands (like at the DMV, waiting for food, on the bus) you're better off with the DS. 

From your reasons, get a PSP. The loading times aren't as bad as people make them out to be.

see thats the thing i do like sony more but that doesnt mean i want their handheld. For homeconsoles to me its one thing for handheld its soemthign else, im just really not sure if i will like playing ps2 type games on the go (PSP) or somethign like nintendo unique type games (DS). This is just an example but you should get what I mean.-PS360-

what ds games can go online?-PS360-

Instead of getting a PSP or DS, why not get the good ol' GBA? It can play both GBA and GBC games, something the DS cannot do. ;D

Get the handheld with the games you want the most. It appears as though you want the PSP, but you should look at a list of games for both to make sure.

That's exactly what's wrong with psp.

get the DS,  why ?? many many games to choose from, some are kiddy games, but there are also many action/RPG games like FF's series, plus the one that are comming this months, Brain Age's, Advance Wars... etc and many other ones......

Its a lot cheaper than the PSP, you dont have to buy alot of accesiories, new way to play, longer battery life, easier to carry...

its selling 2x times more than the PSP, so that means it will succed in the handheld war..... it also plays some GBSP games, so you have more choices, also theres an incoming web browser ( not as good as the PSP one, but you can surf on it ) well, those are just a few things that made me choose to get one over a PSP, i'll wait for this fall an see if theres a price drop to...99.99 :P

I have both and can say they are both great. I like playing metal slug on the psp but also advance wars dual strike on the ds. I just recently picked up the datel max media dock and a 2gb cf card for the ds and can actually play movies on it. It plays them pretty good. Not as good as the psp but I can use the same movie files and music files on both with no problems. I guess if you are in the market, try and find a used one. Don't look down on the previously owned market as you could get lucky and get both for what you would pay for the more expensive of the two (psp) new in stores.  I don't have a ps3 but I would like to try out that ps1 dl service.
