    HELLZ NO!

    DS pwoons the PSP any day. There's a crapload of stuff u can't do on the PSP but you can on the DS. Plus, is it really worth it to trade such a gd system for

    1) another used up system that's worst even in best condition
    2) for an extra music/video player and stuff like that

    Answer: NO! Stick with the DS

    As for the games, if u feel like u have too much, than go ahead and sell some...

    I personally would go with the DS.

    If you sorely and desperately want a PSP though, either trade your DS in or just buy it. I think they will some pretty good games coming out for it in 08/09.

    Actually, the PSP doesn't necessarily mean the internet in your hands.

    The PSP uses a wifi connection to the nearest wireless Ethernet/router. With the newer wireless routers you're required to provide a keypass in order to access the internet through that router. I know this because I tried to access the internet through my neighbor's wireless connection but I didn't know their keypass so I couldn't.

    If you have wifi at home obviously you have a computer so it wouldn't make sense to have a PSP because you couldn't always guarantee that you could connect to the internet outside of your home.

    Sorry not trying to rain on your parade but if that was one of the main reasons you wanted a PSP I just wanted to make sure you knew the reality of it.

    Well, the PSP's internet browser has very low support of Flash/Java, so most websites that even use minor amounts of Flash or Java apps will either overload the memory (which you'll then have to restart the Browser), or will simply not run at all (you'll get a blank white error message)

    So, the most you'll do with the PSP's internet browser is use it to browse text-based websites, as you won't be able to watch videos or play internet games or watch flash animations on it

    And as Marrie said, you need to be within range of an unlocked Wi-Fi signal in order to even use the limited internet, in which case if you're in range to do so, you may as well be on a computer.

    I'd say if you want a PSP but like the DS as well, find some other means of making money so that way you can save up and then own both, that way you're not losing either, and you're gaining the greatness of both.
