I already have a laptop but it's often a pain to drag out in cramped flights and in the car the screen always has a bad glare cause of how bright it is outside.

That said it only has a 64mb integrated graphics card and ergonomically it's a bit of a pain (literally - like carpal tunnel) to try and game on in the car or on the plane.

So between the DS and PSP I like PSP more, the games like God of War, burnout, Daxter, etc interest me more but I do love sonic rush and NSMB on DS. Heck I'd prolly even play pokemon so long as no one found out lol.

With the slim and lite being out now, can anyone tell me about the brightness and battery life differences? I know DS wins in both bouts but I hear the slim is much improved along with better battery life and load times. I can't stand the stylus btw but DS prolly has enough 2D platformers to keep me happy.

Bring whichever you have a game for. If you still can't decide, go for your DS.

If you are only looking at games, DS might be the choice due to size and battery life.

If you plan to do anything else (music,video,on-line), the other 2.

DS isn't as good as a gaming PC but it's the best handheld you'll ever own
