The Nintendo DS and the PSP are the latest in portables in electronic gaming even though that they are both a couple of years old.
They both have different kind of functions and are almost similarly priced.
The most recent gadgets that I bought is the PSP and Nintendo DSL - which was bought from Lelong.com at a very reasonable price. I am really happy with both this items although my favourite being the Nintendo DSL which caters for more games to my preferences. The PSP, on the other hand has better pictures, (Nintendo DSL has 2D and PSP 3D).
The major differences of DS and PSP :

Nintendo DS Specs:
- It's less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter.
- Its two bright screens can be adjusted to four levels to adapt to different lighting conditions and to extend battery power.
- The microphone sits in the center of the unit, and the LED lights are clearly visible whether the unit is open or closed.
- The stylus is 1 centimeter longer and 1 millimeter thicker than the stylus of the original, and slides into a side storage slot.
- The Start and Select buttons were repositioned for easier access.
The DS provides more interactive gaming and supports a duel screen, one of them being touch sensitive, and a stylus in which to write with on the touch screen with.
The PSP is a portable Playstation, capable of storing all kinds of media on the device. These include videos, photos and music files. These are very useful and in this way the PSP outranks the Nintendo DS. The PSP has high definition graphics that are 3D. This makes game play more realistic. By having a memory card to keep data on, UMD videos or game disks are able to make multiple saves which can be very useful.
Overall, both the DS and PSP provides exciting style into your gaming environment. The PSP is reliable and useful and is very good all round and I guarantee that it will entertain you very well in every way possible. The DS is also very small and will give you entertainment to a certain extent but it is not in the same league as the PSP.
