im trying to decide what handheld to buy psp or ds and would like to know which is better.......i know the psp can play movies, but what can the ds do that the psp cant......and what new technology can you do with the two such as mods and tv hookup and chatting programs without gaming?

m3 a brand name....aka is a adapter to play pirate ds games, that mean you can buy m3 adapter with passcard to play gba game or ds simply to play ds game for free....it is illegal to download roms,

i love both ds and psp, i have both
defend what game u like to play, psp have better graphic, ds game more games, but suck game, just download what u like to play

most of the ds game only 32 mb, barely 120 mb, so ds has bad graphic
psp have at least 300 mb, up to 1.8gb of game...make the graphic similar to ps2 games
i will buy both!

i would/did get the ds. also, it can play movies too. in comparison, it seems your talking about homebrew. and that last part of the first question kinda doesn't make sense.

anyways, the ds has: a great pda program thing that utilizes the touch screen(much like a real pda)-[DSOrganize]; a media player program that can read .txt files, play movies(has to be converted, but so does the psp}/music files(mp3, wav, mid, AAC, ogg supported i believe), and launch other homebrew with support that stops bad programs from launching at all -[MoonShell]; an excellent aim program -[D-SAIM](also known as DS AIM and DSAIM, but its all 'the same', lol); an FTP(file transfer protocol) client that sends/recieves files stored on the memory device in the ds wirelessly-[DSFTP]; *other homebrew* (i haven't tested much else but the ones listed, THEY PWNZ!); a GREAT game library. ds games are 9/10 of the top selling games for japan last month and i think 4/10 for the us (which is still very good considering the american market and blahblahblaster). get the ds, and don't look back... or to the side...

m3 is a company that makes flash carts, passmes, and a slot-1 device. these are all products used to operate homebrew/backups on the ds. some also work on the gba. products made by m3 usually have the company name in them, such as the m3 lite perfect or the m3 ds simply.

edit: roms are not illegal if you have the original cartridge. as long as you only have one copy of the rom and do not distribute it or call it your own creation. but this area is still kinda gray...

jgarces07:The shoulder buttons on my DS (not Lite) are not working. Any advice?
nintenut:This is going to sound a bit odd, but it works, put your lips around the trigger and blow really hard, it works.
bee_cup: My DS Lite L button don't work...
nintenut: Put your mouth on it and blow, gets the dust out, and sounds obscene!

Cons:
only 3 hours battery life when playing games
Has to go to trouble of downgrading to 1.5 and then upgrading to 3.03 OE
Can destroy your psp if you flash the psp and do something wrong
Have to buy big memory stick 2gb recommended
Only like 5 games fit on 2 gb

Nintendo DS
Pro:
Funner
Touch screen availabilty
More games to fit on memory stick
Can watch movies

I would go with the psp.
Why you ask?

psp can play videos and music full 3d games
Ds can play videos and music and weak 3d games

To play music etc on psp drag and drop
To play on ds convert run the porgram for what ever card you have then drag drop

ds more work

Ds loads fast
Psp slower but is really worth the wait

Homebrew etc
psp downgrade then upgrade play great stuff like ps1,sega and gba etc
ds convert then play great stuff like nes,snes etc but the psp can do all that

ds screen could break off or become lose if your not carefull

wifi both consle has these

internet psp most times comes with it if not update free
psp web is really good trust me

ds your got to go buy the thing
ds can do photo chat but you can get msn for it

psp rocks but ds mario kart 64 ds is a blast

I hate threads like this ¬_¬
Just get both a PSP and DS and your sorted, get the benefits from both worlds.

You'd have to very very stupid to be able to accidentally break the screen off

I hate it, messes up tons of pages, quite slow, always running out of memory (usually just after all the websites adverts have loaded) Not saying the crappy Opera browser for the DS is any better though, well it dosn't give me memory messages every other webpage.

Anyhows, back to FFVII on my PSP.
