The Playstation Portable, a great system.
The PSP is a handheld game system developed by Sony. It can display excelent graphics, and the 1. generation of PSP games looks as good as the 1. generation of PS2 games.
Many Nintendo fanboys criticises the PSP because it has PS2 ports, low battery life, and because of it's price. The DS, however, has rehashes and ports of Mario Games, which can be played on Nintendo 64 and GC with better graphics, it does not have support for GPS, or Eye-Toy, and it can not play movies, nor MP3s. The PSP is also much, much more powerfull than the DS, and uses 1.8 GB UMDs, the DS uses memory sticks on maximum 64 MB. All this makes it more reasonably priced than the DS. Many Nintendo fanboys ignores this, since they can't find any arguments against it.
The PSP has exclusive games within well known, and classic franchises, such as GTA: LCS, GTA: VCS, Daxter, Tekken: DR, etc.
The PSP vs. DS debate, is more or less stupid, like all the other fanboy wars.

Portable Systems Performer--A Sony Playstation Portable, which, if you can have 1.5 firmware flashed to it, will emulate a whole load of systems, and, get this, can play 4 days of music on a 512MB memory stick duo in Protracker MOD format (and even more than that in 8-16 bit Video Game Music formats) Every media player that runs on a GBA flash cartridge runs full speed at 222mhz or less and gives you loads of audio (MOD, GSM, ADPCM) and video (Meteo) as well as most of the GBA's library of games.
If you use the homebrew PMP MOD AVC player you can record watchable VCD quality video and audio at 2 megabytes per recorded minute (256kbps) as opposed to a heck of a lot more wasted space (768Kbps) with the player Sony gives you.
The PSP ran every NES game I could throw at it, can emulate a Sega Genesis with frameskip 1, runs a full speed gameboy original, a SNES that tears the picture a little, a third-speed Amiga 500 (best computer ever made IMHO), and you can get an MP3 player with an oscilloscope for the easily amused. It's also an infrared remote control. Since when did your "Update" ever give you the ability to zap people's TVs while it looks like you're just playing a game?
And you can control your PC's mouse, or check on a long download that your PC's doing from the kitchen.

short for playstation portable, it is a portable gaming system recently made by sony entertainment in an effort to sweep the legs of nintendo out from under them. at its release the psp said to play games, music, and movies on one system. initially the idea seemed good, but many people began to realize the fatal flaws that Sony had made, including it's proprietary UMD discs for games and movies, a short battery life, bad coding. but above all the biggest mistake for sony was that honestly all they had done recreate the laptop computer, which has done everything the PSP does for the last 3 years.
UMD's cost about the same as a DVD, but can only be used on the PSP, while the DVD can be used by anything with a dvd drive on it.
Sony released for mandatory firmware updates in the first six months to prevent hacking.
the best selling games for the playstation pointless have been racers or puzzle games.

Amazing Graphics
Powerfull Games
DS Pros:
Unique Touch Screen
Unique 2nd screen
Cheap (not much of a pro)

PSP Cons:
shorter battery life (due to brighter screen, louder volume, more graphical games, more powerful games... to increase time lower brightness, volume etc)
expensive (if you have the money its easily worth it)
Load Times (due to more advanced games etc....but extra time really isnt noticible)
DS Cons:
Worse Graphics (when using basic 3D graphics it goes pixelated/fuzzy/blurred etc, where as most psp games use 3D all the time)
More childish games (not much of a con...depends on what you prefer...just going from my age)
I posted this to try preventing fan boys making useless comments about both systems and i am listing what i know about consoles)
Overall I prefer PSP but of course it mainly depends on your personal preference
To help
Get PSP if:
You want a full media player in your pocket
You love extra features (flash, internet)
You want better looking games, more AI, more physics etc (better games)
Get DS if:
You want more innovative in games (not saying its bad but it does get boring useing stylus sometimes, but still a great feature)
You want a portable now and cant afford psp

1. Paint Shop Pro. It's an image editing program released originally by Jasc, but is now Corel's, which means it now has a crappy reputation because of Word Perfect 4, the most fucked up word editing program ever.
2. Play Station Portable, Sony's new high-definition graphic portable gaming system based on the PS2. It has (personally) some of the best graphics ever to be made in a hand held. Like the PS2, it uses discs (on a much smaller scale).

Person 1: FUCK PSP IS SVCKS LIKE HELL BECAUSE COREL MADE IT!
Person 2: YEAH I KNOW PSP IS BULLSHIT!
Nerd : Sorry, but I disagree. This superior program allows you to create the most delicately detailed pictures, and it only costs $200!
Person 1: FUCK YOUR ASSHOLE.
<ex2>
Person 1: MA PSP WHOOPS YOU DS'S ASSHOLE!
Person 2: NO MY DS WHIPS YOUR PSP'S ASSHOLE!
Nerd : I agree with person two. My Dual Screen Liquid Crystal Diode gaming system is far superior to your Play Station Gaming system.
Person 1: NO SHUT UP FUCKER!
Person 2: The NERD'S RIGHT!

A fairly expensive portable system. Can display near PS2 quality graphics, and also can play movies and store MP3s.
Basically, if you have the money to spend and want more than a game system, buy a PSP. If you have a smaller budget and want a game system, buy a Nintendo DS. Oh yeah, the PSP has less battery life than the DS. Also, Sony has such a fanbase that most people won't consider buying a DS, though it is (IMO) the better system. Damn Sony fanboys.
Someone: I bought a PSP!
Someone Else: I bought a DS!
Someone: DS sucks.
Someone Else: The DS rocks.
Someone: *sony fanboy rage*
Someone Else: F*** off.
