Keep your DS.

or if you don't have one, get the lite.

I got my PSP a little while ago and I was really disappointed.
If you want to play games, DS; if you want to listen to music or watch downloadable content then by all means get the PSP.
The real problem is that the PSP just has no true gaming replay value... :(

If you have the money, just get the PS3/360. That will make you forget about both the DS and the PSP for a while!

I disagree. I'm actually enjoying my psp better than my ds. Games like Silent Hill, Castlevania, Syphon Filter, Socom, Valykerie Profile, Brave Story, Tekken 5 DR, Street Fighter Alpha 3, and future titles that will be coming out are really fun to play. The DS is only good for a little quick mini games, which tends to get boring after awhile. The DS is pretty much a joke compared to the PSP.

I don't think it's the best of ideas, because eventually you'll want the other handheld back and end up buy it again. I would just sell the DS games you don't want, and just keep the DS and pay the rest off for your PSP.

i do have a 360. i was just looking for some on the go gaming and since i do quite a bit of traveling i bought the ds and had some fun for a bit but they i got board and it looks like there are some good games out there for the psp.

I got my PSP a little while ago and I was really disappointed.

Just some advice. Try not to ever sell your systems unless you need the money for an emergency. My advice would be to keep the DS and save some money from each paycheck. If you dont have a job then you might need to find another hobby. Other then that you could even sell some stuff on EBAY.

I have a PSP slim and the DS Lite. And there both great systems. With a great selection of games. You cant go wrong with either of them or both.

I'd Suggest keep the DS for strategy games cuz strategy games for the PSP are almost non-existent & get the PSP for everything else such as games,video & music (music for a psp? :roll: )

I'd keep the DS, really. I have had a couple of my friends trade in their PSP and got a DS. The DS and PSP are basically two different views and it's really hard to tell what views they really are. For example DS can be fun sometimes with Mario Kart DS but it can be full on action sometimes with Metroid Prime Hunters. Same thing goes with the PSP. So basically if it's just the DS you don't really like (or even if you do like it but still want to give it away or sell it or trade it, whatever) then yes get a PSP. But if your looking for different games, then I'd say DS as just got as good as PSP.

But if you really have made up your mind and want a PSP, I personally would take Daxter and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters. But if they are too kiddy for you (I'm not saying their kiddy) then Killzone Liberation might get your attention.

Trade it in. I got my DS and im bored of it. There was really only one game that was really good. Thats was The Sims Urbz in the city. PSP has greater games. Here are some game suggestions. The Warriors, Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid any of them for psp, Final Fantasy tactics war of the lion i think thats what its called.

No. The DS and PSP complement each other nicely. It's better to have both.

Its a good idea to get the PSP. Have the orignial for 3 years now and still enjoy playing it. I would keep the ds though because i do not get rid of any systems because I would want it a couple months later. Your choice. Smauri Warriors and Untold Legends are some good games.

Its what I did and I'm very happy. I actually one have two games so far (I just got it for X-Mas), SOCOM FTB 2 and Twisted Metal. I don't think SOCOM FTB 2 has ever left my PSP since I've owned it, its an amazing game with an even better multi player. Anyways, its a good idea.

what are you talking about

the psp's games blow anything the DS has outta the water, PLUS "if you want to listen to music or watch downloadable content" you can do that too, so theres that and awesome games

the DS's main sellin point is it's gimmick touch control. i aint sayin they dont have good games, its just that most of their games arent adult friendly (i know some are, so dont go listing em cause i prolly already know em).

plus i got a 360 and its been sittin at the sidelines a little more since i got my psp games (til i get DMC4:D).

i would love to have a DS again (gave it to my bro as a gift, i was broke lol) but im happier with my psp, it can do almost anything :P and the games are to my taste
