Should I sell PSP and get DS lite?

I love the graphics of the PSP, the removable storage, ease of putting movies on there, wifi web browser (not that I use it, but nice to know its there) and did I mention beautiful screen?

However, I don't like the load time of the UMD during game play. I never buy UMD movies, so I could care less about that. And, it just seems like not many games exist for it, at least not all that many that I like.

I got Sims 2 which I really enjoy, but there is always a damn menu or something loading...drives me nuts!

Which should I get?

    The DS Lite is very slick and there are TONS of awesome games on it. There are also lots of great games lined up to come out.

    Considering you arn't happy with your PSP, definately make the trade.

    Hehe, I have a 360 right now I'm happy with. :)

    Another thing I really find nice about the DS Lite is their selection of games, and the fact that their games are less expensive. It is also a smaller device.

    I have both, and you're dead on about the load times...very very annoying. I LOVE the DS Lite. Very stylish, no waiting. Games are great. Right now I'm playing the new SMB and Metroid Pinball. Don't take your PSP to Gamestop or similar. They will only give you about 60 bucks for it. Try to sell it on the bay if you can't afford to keep both. If I had to choose, DS would win hands down.

    Well I got a DS Lite, you guys pushed me over the top :)

    I so far have Super Mario Bros, Nintendogs, and Age of Empires..

    I love it, only gripe I really have is that when you are in some menus, you can't just exit back to the main menu, it forces you to reboot the device.

    I tried to get into Nintendogs, but it just didn't do it for me...

    SMB is a really good game! Did you play the mini games? Some of those are really cool when it comes to the implementaion of the DS unit's controls. One game even has you blow into the microphone slot to get Yoshi to float up in the air... wicked!
