The DS, of course, because I already have one.
The touch screen offers much more precise control than an analog stick, the GBA slot could be used for expansions, and the graphics are pretty darn good. Also, the DS has a 10-hour battery life, compared to the PSP's 3.
Although I do have to admit the PSP does look sort of neat...

PSP. I've used both and I can easily say that the look and feel of the PSP is much better than the DS. The PSP has better graphics. Plus, their games are so freakin awesome! I can't wait to go back to school and play with my friends PSP again.

The PSP has much more than three hours of battery life. That is all dependent on how you're using it. Battery consumption differs from using it for games or for watching movies. I think it's eight hours of play if you're using it for games and up to five for movies.

At the moment I am planning on buying neither due to the obsecenely high cost and my lack of funds right now. However when I do get money and prices drop, I will pick up a Sony PSP. They Nintendo DS is cool too, but the PSP has a "sexy" appeal to it, and to me has more appealing games, not that the DS doesn't have any. Null Vote.

My Japanese friend knows someone in Japan that works for Nintendo and someone else who works for Sony. He got both. The only problem is that since it is a Japan model, he can't use American games on either.

There have been a ton of reports about PSPs having dead pixels, broken screens, and damaged buttons right out of the box. Also, a handheld is usually used during short breaks. With the DS's cartriges, you don't need to worry about any loading time. With the PSP, you have to wait for the disc to spin up to speed.

Well if the PSP has problems, that smart thing to do is take it back to the store and get a new one. I have never heard about the PSP's loading times, but the disc is small, so the loading time couldn't be that long anyway. And you can't assume that all handhelds are used during short breaks. I use my old GameBoy Advance on long flights and road trips, sometimes at school and sometimes I play just when I'm bored. Maybe that's what you use it for, but that doesn't go for everyone.

I'd have to go with the DS because of it's best at what's is meant for. If I want to watch movies, I'll use a DVD player. If I want to listen to music, I'll use my walkman. And if I want to game, than I'll use a DS (Because I think that the Touch Screen is cool.)
