Why not have both?

Keep your hacked PSP. PSP homebrew is far superior to DS homebrew.


Or if you don't want it anymore, ship it to me...

The DS is pretty shitty when it comes to RPGs.  I can't vouch for the PSP either because it's mostly just a dumping ground for jRPGs but a revised edition of Star Ocean 2 (you know, the only GOOD one) comes out early next year HOW YOU CAN SAY I LIKE RPGS and pass that up is beyond me.

Also Mana Khemia which is an RPG (dumb game, unintentionally hilarious but still rpg).

I believe that the PSP is worth a lot more in terms of usage than the DS and I'm not just saying that because I have a PHAT PSP, the only drawback of the psp is the analog stick which can easily be broken.

PSP is worth more period. The only DS Rpg I would pick up is the World Ends With You.

I really like the DS and PSP (I don't own either) But right now I would get both a PSP. I don't know, Nintendo has better games imo, but i'd like the PSP to mod (I.e emulators)

i bought my friends PSP for $40 just so i could play this game. (star ocean 2 remake)

of course i've already put in a custom firmware and ordered two 4 gig memory sticks for like $3 each. im never payin for a psp game so help me god

the ds is terrible, i gave it the best shot i could. the only games i liked on it were the remakes of old mario games, i mean those are fun games to mess around with when you're on a train or in a dentist's office but you can get a better version of whatever is on the ds elsewhere if it's the best games you're looking for. i dunno much about the psp but it looks like kind of the same deal with watered down franchises being the most notable thing it has, although it looks like the franchises are at least more interesting than the ones on the ds. it's got an mgs game, bunch of racing games that aren't mario kart, and an ssx game (i like snow). that'd be enough to sway me to psp and i wish i'd gotten one of those back when i thought handhelds were a fun idea cos i would have at least gotten something out of it. it's also got FFVII crisis core, which in all honesty i would at least try out. 

yeah, don't get a ds. you aren't missing anything. if you are really unsure just download an emulator and try a couple of the games out. i've found that once you play any game you've been anticipating for ages the excitement dies out 20 minutes in when you realise "oh...it's just... it's just another game." and i've saved a lot of money by not buying games unless i'm really sure they are good (this has happened 0 times).

i have also spent a lot of money by being an idiot and not following my own advice.

Well, I own a DS but I want to get a PSP.
There is not really a lot great for it.

Of course, if I got a psp it would mostly be for emulation.

Uhm. You guys realise you can get things that let you emulate on DS as well? That's not a psp 'exclusive' there.

Yeah I'm sure yor right on that part I have heard of emulators for the DS, but I'm also pretty sure that the homebrew scene is much more thriving than the DS homebrew scene.
